Bill O'Reilly ran across the phrase "Jimmy Carter Redux" either at the Spectator site or elsewhere and was talking about it a few nights ago, but he apparently was under the impression that redux was a French word, so he pronounced it "re-do."

It is, of course, a Latin word, so the "x" is pronounced.

Of course, "Jimmy Carter re-do" also works.
