Commander Koo-Koo Bananas
n.— «Homer Simpson, that cultural icon beloved of all men younger than 45, last week coined a new nickname for Bush that lit the blogs up like Christmas lights. Will it stick? In a rant about son Bart getting kicked out of school again, Homer despaired of finding another school to take him. “Yeah, and if you get kicked out of that one, you’re going straight in the Army, where you’ll be sent straight to America’s latest military quagmire,” Homer railed. “Where will it be? North Korea? Iran? Anything’s possible with Commander Koo-Koo-Bananas in charge!”» —“Bush aims Social Security plan at young” by Julie Mason Houston Chronicle (Texas) May 22, 2005.
