Overheard: Give Bush a dictionary

Discussing the overused, inaccurate term "fascism" in another overused, inaccurate term in "War on Terror," Wayne Fields of Washington University in St. Louis in this CNN article says this:
Typically, the Bush administration finds its vocabulary someplace in the middle ground of popular culture. It seems to me that they're trying to find something that resonates, without any effort to really define what they mean...
I suppose it would be too much to ask the Bush administration for specifics or substance on anything they touch.
