1. Bush* simply refers to the fact he was NOT elected, but selected..

And someone (blogger or journalist) referred to the fact that he would always have an asteric behind his name for that reason, which we here acknowledge...

3. Doonesbury
also depicts Bush as a cowboy hat with an * under it instead of his face.

Lately Doonesbury has been showing Bush as a Roman helmet with an * under it.

4. G. Trudeau also portrayed in Doonesbury...

...Bush Sr. as a feather.
....in any case the symbols indicate that both are lightweights.
....Doonesbury has been kicking *'s ass lately by the way....hope he's not flying in private jets these days.



and remember: no question is stupid if you don't have the answer.
