Could the Body take down the Hammer?
Article Abstract:
Political and cultural personalities have frequently been given nicknames by the media. Jackson was 'Old Hickory', Cleveland was 'the Man of Destiny', and Clinton is 'the Comeback Kid'. Criminals, such as Jack 'the Ripper' and 'Scarface' Al Capone have also had sobriquets bestowed on them. In the mid-20th century, use of nicknames seemed to be in decline, except for sports heroes. They have made their way back into politics with Jesse 'the Body' Ventura and Tom 'the Hammer' DeLay.
