#10 – “His Accidency” (John Tyler)
Became president by accident…
and folks never let him forget it.
#9 – “Tricky Dick” (Richard Nixon)
You don’t earn a nickname like that by accident.
That one came with receipts.
#8 – “The Little Giant” (Stephen Douglas)
Short in stature.
Big in politics.
Still one of the best old-school nicknames ever.
#7 – “Czar Reed” (Thomas Reed)
Ran the House like he owned the place.
And for a while… he basically did.
#6 – “Low Energy Jeb” (Jeb Bush)
Three words that ended a presidential campaign faster than a flat tire on I-81.
#5 – “Lyin’ Ted” (Ted Cruz)
Simple. Catchy.
And just vague enough to stick whether it was fair or not.
#4 – “Little Marco” (Marco Rubio)
Proof that in politics, if it rhymes or fits on a bumper sticker… it’s dangerous.
#3 – “Ron DeSanctimonious” (Ron DeSantis)
That one takes a minute to say…
but once you hear it, you kinda wish you hadn’t.
#2 – “Tricky Nikki” (Nikki Haley)
Newer entry. Same formula.
Short, sharp, and built to travel.
👣 #1 – Congressman Morgan “WoodBooger” Griffith
Southwest Virginia’s very own!
Now this one ain’t just a nickname…
It’s a whole Appalachian field guide entry.
Rarely seen in SWVAs Congressional District 9
Known to disappear when work shows up
Most active during election season with his primary activity being releasing the occasional statement of (he’s again’t it if it helps working people or releases the Epstein files) and monthly newsletter
Folks say if you ever catch a clear sighting of him actually lowering your cost of living…
you better document it. Take a picture and win a T-shirt!
Because like Bigfoot himself—
there’s been stories for years…
but the evidence is still a little blurry.
🎤 And there you have it… your Top 10.
Some nicknames stick because they’re clever.
Some stick because they’re repeated.
And every now and then…
One sticks because it feels just a little too true.
