Accidental Bulimia

If you're not on Lindsay Lohan's diet plan, you should probably look away:
I hadn't been at an event with the President (who is looking slim and trim) in four years and didn't know if he would recognize me. But the minute he saw me in the line he called out "Horowitz" with a big smile on his face, then embraced me in a bear hug. In the moment I had his ear I said, "Thank you for taking all those arrows for the rest of us." Graciously, he said "You take more than I do," which I don't and said so. Then as I was walking away he called out, "Don't let them get to you." I called back, "Don't you either," and he replied in a strong voice. "I won't."
The Horowitz, of course, is David Horowitz. Which prompts the obvious question, what is Bush's nickname for Horowitz? Turdblossom'd be great if it weren't already taken. Any proposals? How about nicknames for Bush?
