and, and......NUKULAR

I guess these DUmmies have forgotten that Jimmy Carter, who billed himself as a "nukular engineer," used to pronounce it the same way.

Apparently, the father of the Fusion bomb (Teller?) also pronounced it this way.

Jimma Cahtah is ancient history to 19 year old college dropouts, and they don't know much about him except that he hates DA JOOS in Israel just like they do.

That is true...Carter, the “nukular” engineer, DOES pronounce it that way. It’s really a colloquialism, sort of like the way some people pronounce “wash” as “warsh”. But I could swear that I heard Palin pronounce “nuclear” correctly.

Most of these DUmmies are too young to even know who “Jimmah Cahrter” is/was.
