Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle accuses the Bush administration of "Enronizing" the economy -- raiding retirement and health funds to enrich the affluent. Senate Minority Leader and noted sexless lump of hair dye and pig gristle Trent Lott, fired back with his own new verb: "Daschle-ize," meaning to raise taxes and coin unclever terms that pretty much any 5-year-old would agree is childish and lame especially since he didn't think of it first which makes him a copycat loser dinkweed. Daschle fired back with the term "Lott-a-palooza," which presumably means to dream about being a real human and also to regularly gyrate your creaky hips in front of Congress' large reflective windows when you think no one's watching and thereby nauseate small children and force-sterilize any female in a 500-meter radius for a month. Lott then came up with "Daschle-whacker," which was quickly followed by Daschle's "Lott-itis," then "Daschlectomy" and "Trentuberculosis." Then they rolled around on the ground punching and kicking and squealing and all the other dirty little snot-nosed boys gathered 'round and cheered and picked their noses and voted to prolong the war and quadruple the sinister homeland security budget

(01-27) 13:15 PST (AP) -- With BC-Enron-Cheney, BjtWASHINGTON (AP) -- It's a war of non-words. Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle accuses the Bush administration of "Enronizing" the economy -- raiding retirement and health funds to enrich the affluent. Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott fired back with his own new verb: "Daschle-ize." Daschle, the South Dakota Democrat who uttered "Enronize" last week, faced questions Sunday about whether he had gone too far in comparing Enron's possibly criminal activity to the administration's stewardship of the economy and budget. He didn't back down. "I don't want to see happen to all of the country, to our retirees, what happened to employees of the Enron Corporation," he said on CBS's "Face the Nation." The Enron collapse wiped out the retirement savings of thousands of company employees, as well as investors nationwide. Lott, R-Miss., called Daschle's new word "very inappropriate." "When Senator Daschle uses a term like that, I don't think that's a good way to start off the year," Lott said on CBS. "And we don't want to Daschle-ize the budget, which to me means raise taxes, increase spending and obstruct." Republicans blame Daschle for blocking a vote last month on an economic stimulus package. "We need to be coming together and not using adjectives or verbs to describe each other's motives," Lott said. President Bush stayed well clear of the scrap Sunday. He went to church with his wife and parents, then ventured out on an unseasonably warm winter day at Fort McNair with the first lady and his father. Later Sunday, they were going out to dinner. |
