On Friday, 1 April 2005, White House spokesperson Scott McClellen issued the following statement about the President's social security plan:
"'Twas brilling, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe,
All mimsey were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgabe."
After a White House reporter asked for clarification, Scotty replied: "Why do you hate American English?"
Of course, this is an April Fool's joke.
No White House reporter actually asked for clarification.
