A big tip of the hat to Don Surber for noting a little bit of absurdity from the KOSsacks.

Ordinarily I let lying blogs sleep, but this post at the Daily Kos was too insipid to ignore: “Partying Down with Bush in His Radio Address” by Susan G:

If the President of the United States goes on a stark raving mad lunatic partisan word salad spree in a purportedly non-partisan venue in which he is — at least on paper — supposed to represent all of America, would anyone notice? Apparently not.

Really? So what was this act of insanity by President Bush?

He called the Democrats “Democrats.” And Susan G counted:

He mentioned “Democrats” or “Democratic” 22 times, in almost every instance linking the chosen term to America’s biggest bugaboo, taxes.

I would call her complaint childish but my wife and I raised 3 children and they never did~anything like that.

Surber then goes on to note that the Dems have plenty to be paranoid about over this truth-in-labeling by the President, given the bankruptcy of an agenda that has failed every time it has been tried in the last three decades. And he also notes that the Dems are troubled by a sometimes-missing syllable.

I am curious as to what Susan G wants us to call Democrats. Some of them go off the deep end if you fail to include the “ic” in Democratic Party.

How about the “Icks” then? Icky Frye did seek the party’s nomination for governor in West Virginia in 2004. Harold Ickes is a very familiar name in presidential politics.

I’ve been doing something like that for a while, referring to them as the DemocratICK Party. But hey – if “Democrat” really offends them, I can go with calling them the Icks.
