Can we stop calling him Beto?


I HATE to ask because I despise this guy, but where did he get that stupid name?

Also, I've long held suspicions about F. Chuck Todd's masculinity, so I think he has a real crush on O'Rourke. Just look at the photo of Todd and then remember how he always purses his lips. He's very prissy and yes, I know he's Jewish and married. So what?

AND, BTW, O'Rourke is NOT good looking! NOT a hottie! NOT at all. IF he's like a Kennedy, he's a tall, skinny Edward M. (Ted). Drunk, horrible driver, no conscience, liar.

The official story on how he got the name is on his wki page, if you believe it.

PS Re: Beto

A search of the Nexis news database turned up additional perspective.

A March O’Rourke profile in the Dallas Morning News said the candidate’s father, the late Pat O’Rourke, who was elected El Paso’s county judge, “once explained why he nicknamed his son Beto: Nicknames are common in Mexico and along the border, and if he ever ran for office in El Paso, the odds of being elected in this mostly Mexican-American city were far greater with a name like Beto than Robert Francis O’Rourke.
