He talks like Ike

Listening to NPR on the way to work and I swore I heard a clip of Bush saying nucular. Has any politician ever pronouncd it correctly? I can’t remember if Carter did or not.

Puh-lease. Do you think they’d have made Ukulele Ike a moderator if he couldn’t da Englich langwich proper-like?

I thought this was about Ike on South Park.

Don’t kick the baby!

I hope Carter pronounced it correctly. He was stationed on a nucular summerine when he was in the service, wasn’t he?

For the record, I sound like William F. Buckley Junior, only more pretentious.

UNfortunately, I distinctly remember that Carter pronounced it “nucular.” I was shocked, knowing that he was on a nuke sub. Shocked!

And, Uke, I’m even more shocked that you can get your head that far up your wazoo, as they say up your way.

Oooh! Oooh! Let me be the first to rehash what will happen in this thread!!

Pinko liberal: Bush says nucular. What a maroon! How did he ever graduate?
Right-winger: Well Jimmy Carter said nucular too, so what do you say to that?
Pinko liberal: Jimmy was from the South where everyone talks that way.
Right-winger: Well Jimmy did graduate work in nuclear physics so he has even less of an excuse than Bush.

(horrible mêlée ensues)

And I’m too late, it’s already started! :frowning:

Arnold I forget–which part do I play in this one? :smiley:

Polonius.

Or if you don’t want to be Polonius you can be the loyal Doper, fighting ignorance.

Who wouldn’t want to be Polonius?

If sam doesn’t want to be Polonius, I call dibs.

Just remember that curtains don’t kill people, people kill people.

I will demonstrate my theatrical prowess by playing both Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern.

I thought they were dead.

Not as dead as the last production I saw.

Is this the dawning of the Age of Polonius?

I shall stab myself in the arras.

Dibs on the ear-poison.

If they weren’t before, they will be when I’m through with them.

(glaring at all the other Men in Tights)

…so how many Poloniuses do we have here, anyway?

Doesn’t anybody wanna be Laertes?

Is andygirl Ophelia or Gertrude?

I swear, it’s getting so I can’t tell a hawk from a handsaw around here any more.
