Peter Who?

I just heard George W. Bush on the radio, saying "Laura and I were saddened to hear of the death of Peter Degen -- er, Jennings".

Oops. Almost let slip a little private nickname, did we?

I'm dense. What was Jenning's knickname?

My strong (though unsupported) suspicion is that in private, when engaged in whatever sordid activities George and Dick and Karl are into, George referred to Jennings as "Peter Degenerate".

Just a guess, but it sure smells right.

My hope is that this slip is, like his flipping off reporters and then denying it, a sign of his final breakdown in progress.
