Move over Osama and Al-Queda, White House education secretary Rod Paige has comfirmed the next organization of evil terrorists -- The NEA.

Democratic Governor Jim Doyle of Wisconsin said Paige's words were, "The NEA is a terrorist organization."

The White House has rejected the NEA's plea to axe him.

Paige said later in an interview that his comment was "a bad joke; it was an inappropriate choice of words." President Bush was not present at the time Paige made the remark.

"As one who grew up on the receiving end of insensitive remarks, I should have chosen my words better," said Paige, the first black education secretary.

Paige followed up this comment by saying "Did you hear the one about the Jew and the dutch oven?"
