From the President, a Two-Letter Jab at the DemocratsWashington, DC | January 24 In the prepared text of the speech, sent out by the White House some 40 minutes before Bush ascended the House rostrum, the president was to say, “Some in this Chamber are new to the House and Senate – and I congratulate the Democratic majority.” When Bush delivered the line, however, he paid tribute to the “Democrat majority.” Dropping the “ic” from the word “Democratic” may seem insignificant, but it was almost certainly a deliberate move by Bush, who has used the phrase “the Democrat Party” for months as a way of needling his opponents. More "Dog Whistle Politics" Bush is such an dick. ~spk Update: TPM says this is a phrase most Democrats take as a calculated insult. Such a little, little man. So unable to rise above his small mindedness. Update 2: Here's a short video of the insult. Update 3: Media Matters has a great rundown on the whole issue. Bush will pay for this, in some way or some fashion. This was an incredibly rude and calculated insult. Sean Paul Kelley January 24, 2007 - 2:36am
