Turd Ferguson Called - He Wants His Name Back

First of all, I'm tired of hearing about Karl "Pillsbury Dough" Rove. He's guilty. Slap him on the hand like all the others. But apparently Karl has a nickname that some newspapers call offbeat: Turd Blossom.

Apparently Bush gave Rove this nickname while on the campaign trail, but mainstream media did not really pick up on it. Gary Trudeau, creator of the Doonesbury comic strip, referenced Rove's nickname in a recent comic. Some newspapers throughout the country have chosen to pull the syndicated comic because "it was in bad taste". Good thing Bush didn't reveal Rove's college nickname: The Uranus Rover.
