His middle name is Walker.
Walker begins with the letter W
thus dubya (W)

People call him Dubya because his name is George W.(Walker) Bush, as opposed to his father, George Herbert Walker Bush. So it is W not really Dubya...

He is a junior. George W. Bush. Dubya is the phonetic spelling for the W that characterizes him from his dad. Also, since he is from Texas, his accent further pronounces the W, sound it out loud thinking of the W and its sound.

To add on to what Airborne has said, we generally think people from 'down south' pronounce the letter 'W' as 'dubya,' instead of 'double-you' or 'double-yuh.' George Bush is from Texas (well, Connecticut really...); hence the insults people hurl at him because of the way he talks.

The idiot monkey in my display picture pronounces the letter "double-u" (his middle initial) as "dubya".

I don't know, I call him a 'git' and a 'moron', though. Hope 'Dubya' has got a really nasty and foul meaning.

Because his father cries for him being dumb dubya (W).
