I am not inclined to back Griffin for higher office after his flaky actions.

“French Hill” is quite a name. It’s also a neighborhood in Jerusalem. I have no idea if “French” is really his given name or a nickname.

What is with some these names, Willard “Mitt” Romney, Reinhold “Reince” Priebus, great names if you are late 19th Long Island Republican.

Some of the more amusing names of current politicians:

Patrick McHenry... one Mc away from being a revolutionary war figure

Thaddeus McCotter... sounds like a pre-civil war 19th century politician

William Clay... sounds like a pre-civil war 19th century politician

Daniel Webster... IS a pre-civil war 19th century politician

Tom McClintock... sounds like a stock character in B-western

Ted Yoho... sounds like an annoying game show host

Hal Rogers... sounds like a 1940s era cartoonist (Looney Tunes, Disney, etc.)

Tammy Duckworth... sounds like a character from Duck Tales

Dutch Ruppersberger... sounds like a character Arnold Schwartzenegger would play

Billy Long... sounds like a character Jackie Chan or any silly dubbed Hong Kong kung fu movie would have

Jeff Fortenberry... sounds like a character from a Mark Twain novel

Joe Heck... sounds like the true “secret identity” of a bad ass superhero in Marvel comics

Bob Latta... sounds like a drink you’d order at Starbucks

G. K. Butterfield... sounds like a brand of popcorn

Jim Cooper... sounds like a character on The Andy Griffith Show

John Carter.... “of Mars”

Adam Smith... “The Wealth of Nations”

Paul Ryan... George, Jim, Jack, etc.

French should’ve gone by Bubba. A good thing his parents weren’t Fats Domino fans or they might’ve named him Blueberry.
