"The root word for befuddled is fudd, and the prefix for fudd is Elmer. He's the poor little dupe with the lightbulb head (with nary a watt in it) who is the volunteer foil for Bugs Bunny's lightning antics. He's practically taunted by the universe. Thank goodness he's too dim to realize it.
Elmer is most often cast as the hunter on the trail of Bugs or Daffy Duck, or both, although he often turns in his shotgun to take on other roles.
Because he takes everything at face value (he is not deep enough to take things any other way), he is easily confused. Elmer brings Bugs home for dinner (rather, as dinner) only to have the "wascawwy wabbit" dupe him into thinking there is a terrible outbreak of "rabbititus" and that they must be quarantined.
He is easily influenced, even by his enemies, and is more than willing to believe anything he is told, which plays right into Bugs's specialty. He is like a child, curious and incapable of true wariness, which makes him the perfect target for Bugs, whose well-being Elmer is constantly threatening.
The thing that sends Elmer into a fury is being made a fool, but he is such a fool that most of the time, he never notices. And he's got dozens of cartoons to prove it. "

Did you ever notice that our President speaks like Elmer Fudd? He makes up words too! Like the word "Suiciders" ( used in the second debate in describing the terriorists of 9/11) There is no such word in the dictionary! Our president slurrs his words as if he has been on a bender for three days at the Holiday Day Inn partying with Rummy and the Gang! Too many days hanging out at the ranch recovering from wild coke paries with Powell and Condi! Time to get this cowboy out!
Ahhh Dear Flora, your sense of humor delights me. judi
