Why do some people call President Bush 'Dubya'?

satguru

As his middle name is Walker, and to distinguish him from his father. So George W. Bush is the current president, and it's obviously quicker just to use the Dubya (W), which is how some people pronounce it, including in London. Jan 13 05, 5:58 PM

George Walker Bush's nickname is Dubya and comes from the Texan pronunciation of 'W' which originated as a family nickname to distinguish him from his father. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubya#43_.E2.80.94_George_Walker_Bush Jan 16 08, 4:20 PM
