Every time I hear that "Jenjis Khan" I cannot help but be ill. I know that it is a small point, compared to the bigger picture, but his pretentiousness is sickening.

Kerry is a despicable man. I despise him as a vet, I despise him as a Catholic and I despise him as a man. I once tried to engage him in conversation on the streets of Boston during a Clinton visit. He looked at me as if I were dog dirt on his shoe, me a blue collar guy with work boots on. So much for the "common man" bs.

I agree and in a way, his pronunciation of that name is the big picture.

LOL I thought I was the only one who was irritated by that pronunciation, then I was thinking maybe I'd been pronouncing it wrong all these years. JF'nK is a pretentous boob, God save the United States if he gets in. With the media going full court press for him, he may just sneak in.

What really infuriates me is that with all the talk of Vietnam JF'nK is essentially getting a free pass and running out the clock. He still hasn't given ONE specific proposal for what will happen in a Kerry administration

I would be very interested to know how the North Vietnamese and Chicoms pronounce Gengis Khan.

I repeat.

John Forbes Kerry is a condescending imperious fop.

There are some words and names you are not supposed to pronounce correctly, lest you come across as hopelessly effete. Genghis Khan is commonly pronounced with hard "Gs" by regular guys.

I'll bet Kerry even says, "pah-tinah" instead of "pa-tina
