**************
Two US scientists have paid tribute to their favourite politicians by naming three species of beetle after them.
President George Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney and Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld were all honoured.
The three beetles who now bear their names are among 65 newly discovered species which feed on mould.
The scientists, Quentin Wheeler and Kelly Miller, discovered the insects after collecting thousands of specimens for study and classification, according to a press release from Cornell University where Mr Wheeler used to work.
They named them Agathidium bushi, Agathidium cheneyi and Agathidium rumsfeldi!!!
