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.
