On the Nov. 17th. edition of Hardball, Chris Mathews interviewed former Bush
advisor Ron Christie.

Christie was bloviating along, using the usual left-handed slap of referring
to the Democratic Party as the 'Democrat Party.'

Suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, Mathews said "It's 'Democratic Party.'
Why can't you say that?  What's the matter with you?"

Gosh, do you think that Chris Mathews can keep his head pulled out of
his own ass long enough to realize that it's also "President Bush" and
not "Mr. Bush"??

Hmmmm?

"Mister" has been used as the honorific for the President in broadcasting
for some three decades now.

Why is Bush different? Should we call him "his excellency" or something?
