I have been watching TV and have seen in spelled at least 3 different ways. I know this is dumb, but is there more than 1 guy? Ive also seen it spelled with a Q.

The "how to spell it" went on for months in the 80's the last time we bombed him. I thought they finally all settled on an single spelling back then -- has the new generation of media forgotten?

I Googled it. There was a site that has about 8 different spellings from 8 sources.

I think it's spelled D-O-U-C-H-E -space- B-A-G.

When he strikes that gazing upward and away pose with his little hat on, I'm trying to figure out what famous old-time actress he's supposed to be. He has a moustache, so i do mean OLD-time actress.

Maybe the other Donald, who is quacking it up about this dead canard, might take an additional " 2 seconds" to locate his own! :lol:

Do any of you guys have a legal birth certificate ? ;)

Maybe, but if he does it's in Arabic and there isn't a one-to-one mapping from the Arabic to the English alphabet. Thus, all the spellings are correct.

Yes - easy to get.
Am I that much more resourceful than Obuma?

Hmmmm, can't spell his name, either.

We won't have to worry about how to spell his name much longer I predict. He'd better run for cover.
