Bush has trouble adding 'ic' to Democrat in press conference

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- When it comes to referring to Democrats, some habits die hard for President Bush.

...

"Democrat leaders in Congress seem more interested in fighting political battles in Washington than in providing our troops what they need to fight the battles in Iraq," he said, dropping the "ic" at the end of "Democrat."

"If Democrat leaders in Congress are bent on making a political statement, then they need to send me this unacceptable bill as quickly as possible when they come back," he added.

...

Later in Tuesday's press conference, Bush used the term a third time, but corrected himself.

"In a time of war, it's irresponsible for the Democrat leadership -- Democratic leadership in Congress to delay for months on end while our troops in combat are waiting for the funds."

And even though I realize why he's doing it, it's still like fingernails on a chalkboard when I hear it.
(Come to think of it, anything he says is like fingernails on a chalkboard when I hear it. OK then. Never mind.)
