I never knew much about Hoover until high school/college (early-mid 80s), but I always remember hearing about the Hoover Hog, the rabbits that apparently became standard fare for many families during the early 30s (which was cleverly reprised in its grisly reality in Moore's Roger and Me, which I still can't watch).
If I were terribly clever I'd come up with something analogous about Bush and Ramen noodles or bankruptcy (I need some alliteration) and build a local editorial around it, but I'm too busy working on a grant deadline, and I'd rather just throw this out to the much more clever people in the DU community.
Framing is everything . . . we aren't serving Brunswick stew with suburban squirrels (yet) to our kids. (Somedays I want to when they execute a particularly stunning group maneuver to pilfer my strategically "squirrelproof" birdseed.) But is there a similarly jolting lifestyle/personal financial change due to this pathetic incompetent enabled narcissist that could get analogously coined around the average family's suffering? I know he's guilty of far more evil crimes against our soldiers, their families, the citizens of Iraq, and our planetary climate, but I'm talking about something related to the daily lives of most Americans that can immediately tie him to the way everyone saw Hoover as our most pathetic president ever (until today, of course.)
