You may, or may not, be pleased to see your choice of "Irving" leads
the pack in a contest by the on-line gossip monger Wonkette. My own
choice "Ben Dover" did not make the semis.

"Lately I Get Nicknames

We've gotten a lot of responses to Ana's query about Scooter Libby's
prison nickname. Hooray...yes, most of you have surmised, correctly,
that the dull days of prison life are broken up by constant assfucking.
So, shout-outs to all the Gimps, the Loose Lips, the Sphincters, the
"just Bitches", and the Leakies. Many of you picked one of Tina Fey's
favorite words: "Cooter." Especial thanks to whoever proffered
"Traficant's Bitch." We're still wrapping our mind around that. Beam us
up!

Without further ado, here are our top ten favorites:

10. Token
9. Crutchy
8. (imagining an Islamic conversion) Scooter X (Razr, for short)
7. Asspen
6. Target of Probes
5. Slam Dunk!
4. Yellowcakes
3. Ham Sandwich
2. I Am A Fugitive From a Cheney Gang
1. Irving "
