Alberto Rasputin Gonzales ???

The Name Game
By Joshua Glenn, November 21, 2004, The Boston Globe

“TEN DAYS AGO, in a news story on President George W. Bush's decision to nominate Alberto R. Gonzales as attorney general, New York Times reporters laconically noted of the Bush administration's top lawyer that "the White House declined to release his middle name, saying that Mr. Gonzales prefers the initial."

“What, one wonders, is the big secret?" … "It's possible, of course, that Gonzales' middle name is merely a personally embarrassing one: Rosebud, for example, which in a memorable episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show" turned out to be the middle name of Rob and Laura Petrie's son Richie. And then there's Ragnar, Reuben, Rico, Romeo, Rudyard. But given the fraught atmosphere in Washington these days, I suspect the name in question is one that might prove politically embarrassing. Perhaps it's French: Rémy? Rene? Robbe-Grillet? Or a left-leaning original coinage: RoeWade? Racialpreferences? Rightsfordetainees? Or maybe it's too right-wing: Reagan? Rove? Rambo?”
“Whatever it is, let's hope this question is raised at Gonzales' confirmation hearing. The American people have a right to know.”
