The Decider and his Press Suckertary Tony Snow claim that the State of the Union reference to the "Democrat" Party was inadvertant. Riiiight. Like this hasn't been recurring for, oh say, 50 years at least. See, the Rethugs don't like the fact the when people hear "democratic", they respond positively and associate the term with democracy, which is what we defend here and abroad. The Rethug Party base is, at its core, undemocratic, elitist, authoritarian and exclusionary. This is imbedded in their political DNA, and they're hoping people won't notice their little "tic."
