Colin “Balloonfoot” Powell?

Former Treasury Secretary Paul O’Neill has backtracked on earlier claims that Bush was intent upon invading Iraq from the moment he entered office. That may be the case, but the big story is that W. insists on giving nicknames to his staff!

The president immediately began calling [Treasury Secretary O’Neill] “Pablo.” Later he started calling his treasury secretary “Big O.”

He said Bush called Secretary of State Colin Powell “Balloonfoot.”
