Why use *, or **, or ***, or ****, instead of the name?
I understand using a "funny name" or "initials" when referring to someone,
for example: GWB, DC, KO, HRC, BO, Billary, McCane, etc.
I don´t understand using "****" instead of a name.
Did I miss a thread about Homeland Security checking e-mails for ****´s name?
What makes someone so special that they get 4 stars instead of a name?

3. Bush** and Cheney** each get two asterisks from me...
...because they're going down in the record books as having stolen two elections.

4. I believe it comes from Doonesbury
The comic strip? Bush is never drawn, he's just an asterisk with a cowboy hat (or gladiator helemt as appropriate). It denotes a complete lack of substance.

7. *=two stolen elections
an * forever next to the fraud's name, and the vice-fraud. For me, the * is a friendly reminder that the bastard's did not completely get away with it. It's on the books.

8. Because the people who use them are too polite to
use Asshole. Personally, I'd prefer to call him what he is, Stupid.
He's spent 7 years in a job, ****ed up everything he's touched, and remains blissfully unaware of the havoc and that is the definition of STUPID.
I just hope this country survives him and that we manage to keep his party away from hurtful things for the decades it will take to repair the damage.

Well, that's my excuse, and I sticking with it.

10. I remember on DU it came in to use just after the SCOTUS
decision in 2000 that gave him the presidency. Like back when Maris broke Babe Ruth's record but did it in more games so he got an * besides the record.
It meant Bush didn't win the Presidency legitimately. He was selected not elected.

Nawwww that would require some testicular fortitude from the DUmmies. As we've seen all they can do is threaten, bitch, whine, wail and moan about anything. BUT make suicide a poll and they're all over it!

Um, what books? Except for the DUmmie's Cheeto-stained keyboard--and the primitives' campfire-- where is this permanently recorded?

Because the DUmbasses have an average mental age of 11.

This is actually a very telling comment.

Average, or total?

It's in the margins of their "Buy Blue" notebooks. Kinda hard to read from the cheetos stains and french fry grease...but it's there.

Hmmmm.
The warped primitive in particular looks in an especially bad mood today.
I don't know the gender of the warped primitive; if femme, probably it's that time of the month for the warped primitive, if male, probably the warped primitive didn't get any last night.
When one looks at individual primitives, rather than the whole mass of them, one notices things like this.

Gosh,these folks are shallow and silly. ::)
