No Creeps Allowed In This Campaign
</hdr><body>
<p>By Guy Garcia/Reported by Sidney Urquhart
</p>
<p> 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:
</p>
<p> CRAB (The Committee to Re-Anoint Bush). Considered too regal
and, uh, pinched.
</p>
<p> REBAQ (Re-Elect Bush and Quayle). Main drawback: sounds like
an aerobics shoe.
</p>
<p> PREC (The President's Re-Election Committee). Not regal
enough. Also, invites mispronunciation and ridicule.
</p>
<p> REB (Re-Elect Bush). A potential winner. Pithy and easy to
remember. Could have appeal among Southern whites...
