Methinks thou doest taketh thou correspondent too seriously.

RIGHT ON, ANDY!!! No one could have said it any better! Mr. Bush couldn't write his own letter to Santa Claus, much less a SPEECH to the Nation... His chronic and STUBBORN use of his word "NUCULAR" is as irritating as nails on a chalkboard! As a world dictator - oops! I mean LEADER - he, of all people, should know how to pronounce the word CORRECTLY... Every time I hear him say "the N word" I get this image of him with his finger poised above the Big Red Button, with no clue as to what he is doing... A man of such ignorance should not have such power...

The one thing I have to disagree with, as far as your own well-written speech is concerned, is your comment about Mrs. Bush not trying to correct him. She has TRIED to do so, with no success. The President was roasted not long ago (Kennedy Center Awards?) and she made a joke about his misuse of the word in front of a room full of people, which was broadcast on nat'l TV (PBS)... SHE was BRILLIANT! Sorry you missed it!

Bush understands neither ideals, concepts nor espouses any of them!!!

Ainttaken: Very good points. I think anyone born into the lucky sperm club should just automatically be given a Yale MBA and a military deferment - don't make them waste precious horse riding time appearing to earn them.

Well said, Andy. Thanks for being the best thing on Sunday night television.

Andy, you have been told that Jimmy Carter also mis-pronounces "nuclear"...It gets worse!...Jimmy Carter is nuclear engineer, retired from the US Navy nuclear submarine service...

Hey Andy, Jimmy Carter pronounced nuclear the same way. Must be the way it rolls of the southern tong.

I see that you have once again made fun of President Bush for mispronouncing the word nuclear. How many times have you made fun of Sens. Kerry and Kennedy for saying "idear" instead of "idea"? You should criticize every mispronounced word or none at all.

Minority Leader McConnell from Kentucky is up for reelection in 08 The people from Kentucky are not stupid he will be voted out! The 101 is stationed at Fort Campbell Kentucky and has had many soldiers killed in Iraq. This senator supports Bush at his own policital peril!

When he came to Missouri and gave two speeches, both identical, he kept saying "gooder" instead of "better". I also wondered about the value and quality of a Yale education.
