    Words mean something

    It was post-Iowa caucus, Friday morning - and NPR’s Mara Liasson was describing the goings-on the night before. She began by saying…. “it was a good night for insurgents…”

    According to my Webster (ok, ok, it’s copyrighted 1973, but Merriam-Webster’s online version says exactly the same thing)

    1. a person who revolts against civil authority or an established government; esp. a rebel not recognized as a belligerent. 2. One who acts contrary to the policies and decisions of his political party.

    And here’s Moby Thesaurus II – 36 words for “insurgent”

    agitator, anarch, anarchist, brawler, breakaway, contumacious, extreme, extremist, extremistic, factious, frondeur, insubordinate, insurrectionary, insurrectionist, insurrecto, malcontent, maverick, mutineer, mutineering, mutinous, nonconformist, rebel, rebellious, revolter, revolutional, revolutionary, revolutionist, rioter, riotous, seditionary, seditious, subversive, traitor, traitorous, treasonable, turbulent

    Ok, so Obama and Huckabee surged in the polls. And I guess you could say they're acting contrary to some policy or decision (??) or another of their respective political parties, given that all the candidates have scads of policies and decisions to choose from. Truth be told, Mara was searching for an intro that was something different from everything else we’d heard the previous 12 hours about the results in Iowa. However – and especially in the weeks in which we continue to hear of U.S. deaths from true Muslim/Iraqi/Sunni/Shiite insurgents - I’d say Mara used the wrong word.
