An interesting thing about the debate which I hadn't noticed at the time was
pointed out by the New York Times.

The candidates agreed before the debate the manner of address which would be
used.  Bush choose to be referred to as "Vice President Bush", which everyone
consistently called him (I prefer more colorful terms), while Ms. Ferraro
choose to be called "Congresswoman Ferraro", which she was consistently called,
with one exception...George Bush, Esq. chose to call her "Mrs. Ferraro".

Bush is one of two things: stupid or rude (or both).  He should either read
net.etiquette or go ram a CIA mine with a canoe.
