Can anyone top the hilarious irony in the acronym "CREEP"
That's GOT to be the most hilariously ironic acronym in history of the world.

For the younger people: CREEP is the Committee to Re Elect the President ...... Nixon's 2nd term campaign committee.

1. We thought it was bizarre during the Nixon reelection campaign
wondering why on earth would they ever name a reelection committee that. No doubt they did it on purpose. The question is why?

3. Operation Iraq Liberation

IIRC, this was the original name for the invasion. It was quickly scrubbed.

Nevertheless, it doesn't match up with CREEP.

8. I first Read about CREEP in Fear and Lothing on the Campaign Trail.

For years i thought it was something that Hunter Thompson Made Up.

10. My brother was offered a job in CREEP from Donald Segretti (SP?)
They were both stationed at Fort Ord and worked together. My brother felt that Nixon had to be elected or else there would be anarchy. He didn't take the offer though.
