Yet George W. Bush, whose scandals have been the most frequent, severe and damaging, has emerged largely unscathed. Uniquely among modern presidential outrages, Bush’s have gone unnoticed, unexplored, underreported, unpunished and most of all, unnamed.

That is, until now.

To commemorate George W. Bush’s second inauguration, Perrspectives.com is holding its first ever “Name That Bush Scandal” Contest. If Reagan had "Iranamok" (Iran/Contra) and Clinton had "Bimbroglio" (Lewinsky scandal), what should Bush's contributions to posterity be? Simply send us your suggested names for any or all of the Bush scandals below and you could win great prizes like an Apple Mini iPod, Amazon.com gift certificates, and international acclaim. More important, you could earn the eternal thanks of a grateful nation.

How to Enter

To play “Name That Scandal”, simply send Perrspectives your unique, catchy and original name(s) for any or all of the Bush administration scandals below.

1. Iraq WMD (or lack thereof)

3. Abu Ghraib torture scandal
4. Medicare reform fraud (including budget lies, tax-payer funded fake new stories)
5. Enron (including stock disaster, California energy fraud and Bush denial of Ken Lay friendship)
6. Secret Cheney energy plan
7. "Mission Accomplished" speech on USS Abraham Lincoln
8. Valerie Plame CIA agent outing

What You Can Win

Beyond the lasting respect of generations yet unborn, you can win valuable prizes and awards by playing Name That Bush Scandal:

• The George W. Bush Award.  An Apple Mini-iPod goes to the person with the best overall list of names for all 10 scandals. By constantly playing your iPod, you’ll be able, like the President himself, to hear no evil over the four years.

• The Mission Accomplished Award. The single best scandal name earns a $50 Amazon.com gift certificate for winning a contest that is, like the President's May 2003 speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln, meaningless yet tragic.
• The Dick Cheney/Karl Rove Award. A $25 gift certificate awaits the person with the most heartless, vicious or otherwise mean-spirited entry.
• The Michael Powell Award. A $25 gift certificate goes to the most tasteless scandal moniker which can be announced over the public airwaves without incurring a fine from the FCC.
• The Bernard Kerik Award. A $25 gift certificate goes to the person whose humorous scandal name is the biggest joke of all.
• The National Guard Records Award. A $25 gift certificate goes to the person pointing out and naming a Bush scandal missing from the Top 10 List above. (Other GOP disgraces, such as Tom Delay in general, the Texas redistricting in particular, Manuel Miranda’s Senate Judiciary Committee memo theft or Rick Santorum's "Man on Dog" diatribe, do not qualify.)

Winners’ first names and state or country will be published on Perrspectives. (As described in the Privacy Policy, all personal information are confidential.)
