In the tradition of Ambrose Bierce’s biting “Devil’s Dictionary“, Toronto Sun columnist Eric Margolis has a list of definitions for translating the Fleischer-isms (and now McClellan-isms) relating to Mideast news. My favorite is:
New Iraqi government – An august body that leaps to its feet when a U.S. soldier enters the room, and has total authority over garbage collection and sewers.
