"Democrat" as an adjective

Nothing grates on my nerves quite like wingnuts using "Democrat" as an adjective.*

Which, of course, is why they do it.

But now the BBC has begun using this grammatical atrocity.

Does Fox News have mole in the BBC?

UPDATE: In response to my email, the BBC has corrected the page. How many grammar pedant points do I get for that?

*I accept the use of "Democrat" as an adverb, when modifying the verb "to vote," as in "Vote Democrat this November."
