Nom de Guerre

George "El Jefe Asesino" Bush has assembled quite the rightwing squad. The choice of Negroponte should not surprise or puzzle anyone who remembers the '80s. Just one bloody hand washing the other. Will Negroponte bring back the nom de guerre (we'll have to use the Spanish term since we're pretending to be angry with the French). Negroponte knows all about nombre de guerra. Likely assigned a few during his days in Central America. I haven't felt this sense of dread since lying on a dirt floor in Salvador as policia in the next room discussed what to do with me. The Democrats have drawn straws to see who will "protest" the appointment before they confirm it.

Here's a suggestion for squad nombres:
John "Uncle Juan Rabioso" Negroponte.
Michael "El Himmler" Chertoff. Easy for Bush to nickname as Him.
Porter "Comandante El Mop-Up" Goss, or Moppy for Bush.
Alberto "Capitan Torturador" Gonzales. Torty.
Karl Rove, "Fava beans y chianti?" Beanie.
Condi Rice as "Doctora SpitOut Sus Testiculos." Honey.

Aye aye aye aye adios a sus huevos.
