Ted,

Can you or anyone else tell me why G. Bush is referred to as W?

To distinguish his name from that of his father?

Joe

tejek, he has the same name as his father and he has emphasized his middle initial (W. for Walker) in public life to make his name distinct from his father. It is supposed to be Texan to use a short name to refer to people, you don't see it much around here (East Texas), maybe it is different in Midland.
