Bush Mispronounces Nevada in Visit

[MariaS]

Score another one for America's monkey boy.

CARSON CITY, Nev. - Nevada memo to George Bush: When making a first presidential visit to a state, use the right pronounciation of its name.

1. A guy put himself through college with this bumpersticker:

Ory-gun.

Ore-gone is a no-no.

Go, Nuh-vah-duh!

2. And AP misspelled pronunciation

"Nevada memo to George Bush: When making a first presidential visit to a state, use the right pronounciation of its name."
Coincidence? Or vile conspiracy to mutilate the English language?
We report, you decide :-)

3. At least he didn't threaten to bomb Nevawduh's harbors.

Nor has he threatened to privatize the gambling industry.

4. Er....

I say Ne-vah-da. If no one had told me how they say it out west, I would have made the same mistake.

I'd be surprised if someone hadn't told him, though.

5. Same here

I probably would have said "Nev-AH-dah", not "Nev-AAA-da", too.

This could have been worse. It could have been "Ar-Kan-sus". Personally, I get hives when I hear "New Hamp-shire"; it's "New Hampshuh", damnit!

And don't get me started on the topic of our state capital. It is NEVER pronounced like the name of the recently retired supersonic airliner. Properly pronounced , it comes out something like "CON-kuhd" or KONG-kid".

As dim a bulb as Shrub is, we should chalk this one up to really poor advance work.

... To properly pronounce "Bush", the syllable should rhyme with "war mongering chickenhawk deficit-spending jerk off liar a-hole".
