Double-u.  "Dubya" should only be used to refer to the idiotic former president.

My name starts with it and I always say, "Call me anything you want, as long as it's not late to supper".

Easy bashing on Former President Bush's speaking. The only reason Obama can pronounce it "correctly" is because he's reading it off of the teleprompter!
