In other news, it was learned that John McCain actually picks his nose in the bathroom.

This is one of those non-stories, kinda like Jenna Bush sticking out her tongue at reporters, that just makes me scratch my head as to why it is being reported as news. But even more troubling...do we REALLY want/need to know that Bush calls Putin "Pootie-Poot"?!



LINCOLN, Nebraska (AP) -- Sen. Ben Nelson finally has succeeded in getting President Bush to stop calling him by the nickname "Nellie."

Bush had been referring to the Nebraska Democrat as "Nellie" since 2001.

Nelson disliked the nickname and had asked the president to stop using it.

The president likes to give people nicknames. He has called Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, "Pootie-Poot," while aide Karen Hughes gets "High Prophet."

But Bush heeded Nelson's request to scrap his moniker, and at the recent White House Christmas party, the president referred to Nelson as "Benny."

"The president had a twinkle in his eye when he called me that," Nelson said. "He knew what he had done. I said, 'Thank you, Mr. President."'

I should ask my aunt (the one who grew up next door, and got her freak on with him) what Dubya called her back in the day.

Ask her if the President has a big penis.

"The president had a twinkle in his eye when he called me that," Nelson said. "He knew what he had done. I said, 'Thank you, Mr. President."'

We'll return with "A Very Special White House Christmas," next, when Santa and Rudolph stop by!

No, just "Boss" or "Sir," and ocasionally "High Commander."
