The Republican National Committee expressed dismay that in these troubled times the "loyal" opposition would use terms such as "engagement" and "disengagement".

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer was quoted as saying that, like Clinton, the Democrats are using English as their language of choice in an attempt to lull the public into believing they are loyal citizens.

"That was a well-known trick that the Democrats tried in the Clinton Administration, and we know that Bill didn't even know the meaning of "is". We believe they are being especially devious. English is only the sheep's clothing of these wolves, but the American public is too smart to fall for that!"

Fleischer went on to say that the use of 3 and 4 syllable English words is a despicable display of doubt at a time when national unity is needed. He said that any questioning of national leadership at a time like this by such devices as big words is especially heinous ("that means "bad", doesn't it", he asked in an aside) and that only desperate politicians would do that.

Mr. Fleischer added the White House is creating a 10-point "Bill of Wrongs", and one of those will be confusing a President after He has declared war through the use of big English words.

Etc.
