Turd Blossom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turd Blossom is a Texan term for a flower which grows from a pile of cow dung.[1] The term has gained notoriety in the United States, as reportedly this is one of former President George W. Bush's terms of endearment for his former chief political advisor, Karl Rove.[2] Bush is also reported to call Rove by the nickname "Boy Genius."[3]

In July 2005, several newspapers declined to run two Doonesbury strips portraying Bush addressing Rove by this nickname. [4]
