More proof that being a republican means you can't spell

This is an article about a republican who died. Note the bolded portion:

Former Kansas GOP chair Jack Ranson dies
Jack Ranson, a stalwart leader of Kansas Republican moderates for years, died Thursday at a Wichita hospital.

He was 78.

Ranson is the husband of former Kansas state Sen. Pat Ranson, a Wichita Republican.

Ryan Wright, executive director of the moderate Kansas Traditional Republican Majority, wrote this in an e-mail blast to members: "Words do not due justice to this man who was a giant of Kansas Republican politics. Jack was as comfortable with presidents as he was with precinct people and he never missed an opportunity to serve or encourage service in others."

He was an adviser to numerous leading Kansas Republicans, including Bob Dole, Nancy Kassebaum, Bill Graves, Pat Roberts and Dick Bond.

1. Freudian slip

It's what republicans fear most, 'due justice'.

2. Not a spelling problem...

more of a word use problem. Due is a correct word as is do, but the words mean different things.

So blame it on the grammar checker and the lack of a human editor checking the copy.

7. Hmmm, "words mean things"

Where have I heard that before?

3. hmm . . .

I don't know that I'd start swinging that brush around DU - correct spelling and proper word usage are clearly optional on this forum!

4. Oh I know

I just found that interesting since it is from a party leader, not a blogger.
