State of the Union reaction

You probably already know my political leanings and reaction to most of Bush's speech last night. So let me just offer this one observation:

The word is NUCLEAR... NOO-CLEE-AR. It is not, in any dictionary of the English language NUCULAR... NOO-CUE-LAR. For a president who's so concerned with such weapons (both building them at home and preventing his enemies from building them), you would think he would know how to say the word. But speech after speech proves his vocabulary's limitations.

Cheney? Rove? Condi? Won't someone PLEASE have the spine to stand up in front of the man, and say, "Um, Mr. President? The word is pronounced 'noo-clee-ar.' We just think you should be saying it right, that's all."

Unless, of course, that's also how people in other parts of the world say it. In that case, we refuse to ask for the world's permission to pronounce words the way we want...

ADDENDUM: For some interesting reading, try searching Google for the words "bush" and "nucular".
