Nickname Danielle
We at the buzz are having a new contest to nickname our only camera girl, Danielle. So far, the names people are sending in blow. The most popular entry right now is "Jugsy Malone." I think American can do better. If you have any better nickname ideas, send them to buzz@dailybuzz.tv.

HA--look at who is President.
"QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President.
In the last campaign, you were asked a question about the biggest mistake you'd made in your life, and you used to like to joke that it was trading Sammy Sosa.
You've looked back before 9-11 for what mistakes might have been made. After 9-11, what would your biggest mistake be, would you say, and what lessons have learned from it?
BUSH: I wish you'd have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it.
John, I'm sure historians will look back and say, gosh, he could've done it better this way or that way. You know, I just - I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn't yet.
I would've gone into Afghanistan the way we went into Afghanistan. Even knowing what I know today about the stockpiles of weapons, I still would've called upon the world to deal with Saddam Hussein.
See, I'm of the belief that we'll find out the truth on the weapons. That's why we sent up the independent commission. I look forward to hearing the truth as to exactly where they are. They could still be there. They could be hidden, like the 50 tons of mustard gas in a turkey farm.
One of the things that Charlie Duelfer talked about was that he was surprised of the level of intimidation he found amongst people who should know about weapons and their fear of talking about them because they don't want to be killed.
You know, there's this kind of - there's a terror still in the soul of some of the people in Iraq. They're worried about getting killed, and therefore they're not going to talk. But it'll all settle out, John. We'll find out the truth about the weapons at some point in time.
However, the fact that he had the capacity to make them bothers me today just like it would have bothered me then. He's a dangerous man. He's a man who actually not only had weapons of mass destruction - the reason I can say that with certainty is because he used them.
And I have no doubt in my mind that he would like to have inflicted harm, or paid people to inflict harm, or trained people to inflict harm, on America, because he hated us.
I hope - I don't want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I'm confident I have. I just haven't - you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I'm not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one."
He's so humble....

Indeed, as law school i get called Zorro, i will let you try and figure out why.
Posted by: Kledzik at April 16, 2004 12:40 PM
Um... Because you wear a funny mask, a gaucho hat, and a cape whilst bounding across campus vandalizing buildings with a sword...? Just a guess.
"Zorro" seems like not-so-great a nickname to me, T-meister. "Torro…?" Maybe... but then everyone would expect you to do that stupid "Strong like bull" catch phrase. You don't want to start a precedent like that.
And speaking of trolling: Why not just nickname poor Danielle something concise like... "Danni?" You could even leave its exact lettering up to the viewing audience!
"How should Danielle the cameragirl spell her nickname? Danni? Dannie? Danny? Dáni?"
Mind you, I'm not married to that last option; just thought it'd add some foreign flair.
