Kind of an interesting list - I have no idea who some of those people are, or why some people get two or three codenames. (John Anderson, really??)
You're making me want to dig into West Wing DVDs to find the one where CJ learns her codename.
So they name all the people in a family starting with the same initials.
Also, should they be giving out those codenames?
Todd Palin - Driller
You know this is what he makes his drinking buddies call him now.
They explained on the news this morning why it was okay for them to give them out, but I wasn't listening.
Also, should they be giving out those codenames?
This is the question I have!
just ran to the post office and it is fuhreeezing out there. Wintertime!
why some people get two or three codenames
With George H.W. Bush my guess is one for each administration (Reagan, himself, W). But that doesn't make sense for the Carters, so I don't know.
Also, should they be giving out those codenames?
It says at the top of Brenda's link. The codenames don't serve a purpose anymore, they're just tradition.
