I don't think the emperrors did this much; it was the victious generals of
the Repubic, like Scipio Africanus, so honored for defeating the
Carthaginians. It wouldn't be a middle name, anyway. ANd as for the Shrub,
ignorance and illteracy have never held him back, maybe the opposite. I
think, in fact, that it's a backlash--lots of people are sympathetic to the
Shrub precisely because he's unininterested, not too bright, and not very
well-informed--sort of like them. So making fun of him for being a moron, as
opposed to despising his politics, is probably a political mistake.
