Name that species

According to the August 2005 issue of Discover magazine, scientists Quentin Wheeler and Kelly Miller recently found 65 brand spankin' new species of slime-mold beetles to name. So Wheeler named one each for George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld. Wheeler says he meant it as a compliment, and he says Bush took it that way. Make of that what you will.

He should've included Paul Wolfowitz and perhaps George Tenet. And what about Karl Rove? Doesn't he deserve to be honored? We enjoyed this.
