Oh come now!  I find Muna's 'name-calling' rather amusing.  I believe it is
done in jest, not out of malice.  (There are certainly much worse names
that could be brought up!)  And, as an American, would like to affirm our
right, and indeed, anyone's right, to make fun of our political leaders.
It is a great American tradition, going back to the earliest political
cartoons.
