- While the rest of the Administration worries about Scuds and
- tanks, a few of George Bush's advisers have turned their
- attention to the weighty matter of what to call the President's
- re-election effort. The straightforward CREEP (Committee to
- Re-Elect the President) will simply not do: too many
- associations with the tainted Nixon and Watergate years. Other
- possibilities discussed, albeit none very seriously:
-
- CRAB (The Committee to Re-Anoint Bush). Considered too regal
- and, uh, pinched.
-
- REBAQ (Re-Elect Bush and Quayle). Main drawback: sounds like
- an aerobics shoe.
-
- PREC (The President's Re-Election Committee). Not regal
- enough. Also, invites mispronunciation and ridicule.
-
- REB (Re-Elect Bush). A potential winner. Pithy and easy to
- remember. Could have appeal among Southern whites . . .
