That is the most mis-used word in the English language.

In my most humble opinion, "that" refers to objects or animals. Examples: The dog that barked, and The tire that leaked.
Who refers to people, period. The cop who issued a ticket, and the man who died.
Using "that" with a person dehumanizes him.
We do not ask "That cut the cheese?"

I would imagine it depends on the person to whom your are referring. Saying "that stupid politician Joe" sounds better than "Joe, a politician who is stupid". I guess it depends on the context. Bob

Ahh, Bob, but in your example, "that" modifies the word politician.

You are correct. It should have said a politician that is stupid vs. a politician who is stupid.đ Bob

So he is dehumanizing politicians?

That would be scant possible for many of that ilk.
