Limbaugh and the President: "Democrat" vs. "Democratic"

It is instructive to take a look at Rush Limbaugh's interview with President Bush. As a quick check, I searched for the word "Democratic" in the text: zero matches. For "Democrat", there are 8. Masterful!

This is a Bush trend recently noted by The New Yorker: never say "Democratic;" say "Democrat" instead. Sample quote:

RUSH: When you go out on the campaign trail or when you're in your private moments, do you think of the consequences of governing with a Democrat majority in either the House or the Senate when it comes to things like tax cuts and the war on terror?

THE PRESIDENT: No, I really don't think about the idea of having a Democrat-led House and Senate because I don't think it's going to happen.

By the way, I'm not sure this is the answer that Rush was expecting (note his helpful mentions of tax cuts and the "war on terror"). It is interesting that the President claims not to think at all about something that is actually very likely to happen (but by no means certain).

I also like how the button for listening to the conversation reads: "Listen to Rush Conduct Broadcast Excellence."
