The Mikado, how am I making fun of women? I read about the Senator in the newspaper a lot and hear about him on TV but I never saw a picture or anything. I thought the name was Cheryl! How is that an insult?
Also, I said he was a Democrat because I thought he is. Democrat, Democratic...same thing. I'll use Democratic though if people are going to go crazy now!
"Democrat" is the noun, "Democratic" is the adjective. I am a Democrat; I am a member of the Democratic Party.
People like Rush Limbaugh like to call us the "Democrat Party" because it sounds cacophonous and subliminally makes people uncomfortable.
