Has everyone called their "cousin Pookie" yet to get out the vote for the Democrats?

"Dubya" was given to him by his parents by way of middle initial. "Duhbya", however, he earned.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about that so I did not want to make a blanket statement.

Yeah - Not so original.

Pookie was one of the star dogs on the 50's Soupy Sales TV program, along with White Fang and Black Tooth.

If memory serves.

All of these names sound strangely "Appalachian".

Correction: I guess Pookie was a lion.


YouTube - Soupy Sales - Pookie does Motown

Called their Cousin Pookie what?

''Cousin Pookie'' sounds like a New Orleans thing.

I thought Pookie was the crackhead on New Jack City played by Chris Rock

Liza Minelli played a girl named Pookie in The Sterile Cuckoo.
