The Sarah Palin and George Bush "Nucular" Disasters
Putting aside the fact that I am insulted that McCain played the mom card purely for a campaign tactic, what I really look for in a potential VP candidate is if they are intelligent enough to lead our nation (potentially being the first in charge). Sarah Palin supporters say they find her "like-able", which makes me shiver - because I am looking for leadership, not pageant queens. I have this eery feeling that Sarah Palin reminds me of someone.... But it was her "like-able" interview with Charlie Gibson where I realized that Sarah Palin reminds me of George Bush. Starting from her speech writer to her mispronunciation of the word nuclear as "nucular".
So I decided to check it out for myself....
Sarah Palin interview with Charles Gibson:
George Bush press conference:
Here is alittle help from a 3 year old, that has no problem pronouncing "Nuclear":
This is hilarious, even the 3-yr old can say it right! Just found a shirt that says obama is the NEW CLEAR choice. I may have to buy it from baloneysandwich.net We need a prez that can speak properly! 'nuf said.

I had to listen to the VP candidate debate tonight......oh that is horrible. She continues to say "nucular". If I was in the crowd I wouldn't be able to stand it, I would have gotten up and shouted to the top of my lungs "It's nulear you dumb shit!"

Not only did she say "nucular" umpteen times, she kept saying "Eye-rack" repeatedly. Its very sad people running for or holding office that feel compelled to speak like that don't realize that they make Americans look like ignorant morons to the rest of the world. All I can say is NO CLASS.

First of all why has no one slapped Bush for his pronunciation?! And now Palin too??? Come ON people, it's simple first grade pronunciation! Sound it out... I am so forwarding this link to all my friends. The kid pronouncing it just takes the cake!
Oh, and I second the comment on that Baloney Sandwich shop. I went to the link after seeing it here and that "nucular" shirt that says "Obama is the new clear choice" is totally awesome. I may just have to buy one or a sticker or something. Obama 08!!! Go proper pronunciation!
