Why Do You Think They Call Him Rummy?

On Tuesday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld stopped the Iraqi insurgency - by banning the use of the word insurgent. He suggested that as a substitute reporters call them "enemies of the legitimate Iraqi government." Or EOTLIGs for short. He's expected to start calling the Iraqi war the "Gulf unpleasantness," refer to dead U.S. soldiers as "permanently immobilized forces," and talk about maimed Iraqi civilians as "flotsam."
