On pronunciation

I've been listening to the debate while writing this, and I've been thinking.

From what Governor Palin's just been saying, it sounds like - if the McCain ticket wins - we may just get another national leader who's convinced the word 'nuclear' is pronounced "nuke-yoo-lur". She just said it three or four times in a row. How depressing.

But, you might well say, she'd just be the Veep, we wouldn't have to hear it as often...

No, maybe not, as long as McCain stays healthy; but McCain's not in the clear either.
Have you heard how he pronounces the name of our nation's capital?

"I'm going to Warshington as an agent of change!"

Yes, he ads an "r" to Washington. He's going to Warshington. That may drive me as nuts as nukeyoolur.

Oh, please!
