Via Drudge, I see some Democrats have seized upon another pressing issue for the 2004 elections:
Nevada memo to George Bush: When making a first presidential visit to a state, use the right pronounciation of its name.
Bush, in Las Vegas on Tuesday, repeatedly said Ne-vah-da. To properly pronounce Nevada, the middle syllable should rhyme with gamble.
Mispronouncing the state’s name “sets people’s teeth on edge,” said state Archivist Guy Rocha. “He’s the president, and he ought to get it right. Nothing personal.”
State Senate Minority Leader Dina Titus, D-Las Vegas, said the mispronunciation shows Bush, who won the state in the 2000 election, doesn’t care much about the state.
By this logic, Arnold Schwarzanalphabet absolutely hates Caleeeeeeefornia, and both Jimmy Carter and the Current President Bush must have unprintable opinions about nucular weapons.
