The W is for Walker as in george W Bush, but the picture on the label tries to imply that it stands for Washington.

Quote from the Washington biography on whitehouse.gov

"To his disappointment, two parties were developing by the end of his first term. Wearied of politics, feeling old, he retired at the end of his second. In his Farewell Address, he urged his countrymen to forswear excessive party spirit and geographical distinctions."


Of course two parties formed while Washington was president. Washington was accused of being a puppet for a man who felt only "certain" people should participate in government, to be determined by their family tree. The "common man should not participate in government."

If someone said that in your country, you don't think a party would form to oppose it?

It was this exact scandal that made Thomas Jefferson resign, after calling Washington a puppet.
