It was shown a long time prior where he used “corpse”, and pointed out that he should have been told by a staffer of Emanuel or Axlerod that it was “corps” so he didn’t make the mistake again. Obviously, that didn’t happen.
Has anyone dared to tell him yet? He is so insulated and out of touch that I suspect no one has the balls to tell him that he is an idiot.
They probably didn't know either. OR maybe he did it on purpose to signal his disdain for the military. Maybe he knew that his base would get the code word and the rest of us would just think he was dumb and this would be their little inside joke.
Obviously, zero watched “Gomer Pyle, USMC” as a kid, and thought Gomer was a reliable guide to pronunciation.
I believe he did this purposely to get his digs in at the hated military.
