I wanted to link to this, but they don't have a way to link to a specific entry. Here's a part of the funny, but not so funny, entry on Rod Paige:

"On Monday, Education Secretary Ron Paige declared that the National Education Association, the country's largest teachers' union, is a "terrorist organization" because it opposes the No Child Left Behind Act.

"The White House quickly swept up after Paige, saying the secretary misspoke and was deeply sorry for doing so. But it seems that Ron's little slip provides a certain insight into how strategic this administration has become in using the T word and the dread it inspires in most Americans. What's next? Hollywood figures slammed for being terrorist sympathisers (oh, wait... that's happened). Civil libertarians and rights advocates investigated as threats to national security (hmmm... that's happened, too). It's so comforting to know that we've put the un-American practices of McCarthyism in our past."
