I don't like how your sexist insult was inserted in a way that could
seem like I wrote it.

Chairman Dean is, of course, the party chairman, and Durbin is the
Senate Majority party whip:

   "To -- to Chairman Dean and my great friend Dick Durbin, and to

    all my fellow citizens of this great nation, with profound

    gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for

    presidency of the United States."

I certainly don't find the address to the Party Chairman and a Party
Whip as jarring as the "great humility" rhetoric, but it still stands
out to me. YMMV, of course.
