I found an article on the free online encyclopedia at www.wikipedia.org.

I don't know how accurate this is, but the encyclopedia article claims George Bush's nick name in the Yale fraternity Skull and Bones was "The Beast".

Nicknames of selected Bonesmen
  1. William Howard Taft: Magog
  2. F. O. Matthiessen: Little Devil
  3. Averell Harriman: Thor
  4. Henry Luce: Baal
  5. Briton Hadden: Caliban
  6. Archibald MacLeish: Gigadibs
  7. McGeorge Bundy: Odin
  8. Potter Stewart: Crappo
  9. George W. Bush: The Beast
  10. William F. Buckley: Cheevy
  11. Anson Phelps Stokes: Achilles
  12. Reuben Holden: McQuilp
  13. Charles Seymour: Machiavelli
  14. Donald Ogden Stewart: Hellbender
You can read the whole article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skull_and_Bones

I personally just picture a heavy drinking party machine everyone calls the beast, just curious what other people's thoughts are.

Actually, his name was Temporary. He could not come up with a name and was given that one temporarily, and never bothered to change it.
