Euphemism of the Day

Gerry Adams, speaking in Belfast, April 22, 2003
IRA gunmen = "activist constituency"

The full quote: "I know there is a lot of unease [about the stalled peace process] within the republican constituency, especially within the activist constituency."

PS: Gerry went on to say:
No one expects that P O Neill should write the Joint Declaration for the two governments

To which I say, why not?
