Last week, Jon Stewart was fretting that no matter what we do, the Bush Administration still claims we’re emboldening the enemy. Questioning the war policies? Emboldening the enemy. Sending a mixed message? Emboldening the enemy.

Thankfully, John Oliver was there to explain what the behoovus is engoing on:

Well, this is an odd, unconventional war. This isn’t like World War II where there were “winners” and “losers”. It’s a new kind of war where enemies can either be emboldened or beweakened. So we have to enscare them to the point where they rebecave themselves. We must disimagine the very figment of misunsuccessiveness. That is what we have to bedo.

Apparently the problem is that too few of us are fluent lectors of Newspeak.
