Fox News host Megyn Kelly has started calling California Democrat senator Dianne Feinstein by the nickname DiFi. I was startled the first time I heard it used. I mean Jennifer Lopez may be JLo and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be Brangelina, but Dianne Feinstein with a cool nickname? Feinstein is the epitome of uncool. If she gets one of these names, then who is next?
The first person who came to mind was the other senator from California, Barbara Boxer. Will she now be BaBo? It could be BarBo, but that sounded too much like Barbie, and, believe me, no one would ever want to confuse Barbara Boxer with Barbie.
Next I thought of New Jersey governor Chris Christie. All I could come up with was ChriChri. It sounded like a line from the old SciFi series "Stargate SG-1". You know, "Jaffa Chri!" The truth is that no nickname like this works for Christie as well as what he was called in the New York media after his recent electoral triumph, "the elephant in the room".
Georgia senator Saxby Chamblis could be SaCha.
Minnesota senator Al Franken could be ALF. At least there's a resemblance there.
Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota could be HeHe. It sounds happy.
Maryland governor Martin O'Malley could be MaOmal.
Secretary of HHS Kathleen Sebelius could be KatS. She seems to be good at song and dance even if she can't do her job.
Perhaps the best is that Secretary of State John Kerry could be called "Joke". Actually, he is often called that already given his performance in office.
If you have any others, let us know in the comments.
