Wake up America! This man might actually become your next president. Shrubya mispronoucned the word funicular by accenting the third syllable. Anyone with any education whatsoever knows that it is the second syllable that recieves the syllable.

Fortunately Al Gore is going to save us by setting up a website illustrating the many mispronuciations made by Shrubya. This will take Al away from trying to make his tax plan add up.

I'm glad that Gore will finally begin pointing out the Shrub's defects, since Shrubby has been playing that game from day one. As far as the tax plan goes, it seems that the Shrub is the one having a bit of trouble with his math. Guess he deleted most of his arithmetic brain cells with alcohol and cocaine. No matter, he still has a good chance since a good deal of the sheeple can't do math either.

Surely you can dig up a better example than this? Betcha most people don't even know what "funicular" means. I sure didn't. (Well, I thought it might have to do with capnfunicular).

Do you have the exact quote? I can't imagine why any candidate would ever use this word.

FUNICULAR

On reflection, I've decided that "funicular" is a good word. A FUN word, if I may be so bold. In fact, I intend to work it into every conversation I have from now on, just to see how long it takes me to get punched in the funicular.

Shrubya to Gore: "Since, in reality, we are playing with "funicular money", who really gives two shits what my tax plan is?"

Gore: "Man, yur gonna let the cat outta the bag if you keep on like that. Speakin' of cats, I had a cat once that could play the piano, Tipper will back me up on that, too.

Huh?

Now, what was that about mispronunciation?

Fortunately, he has no problem at all pronouncing the words "major league asshole."

"Do you have the exact quote? I can't imagine why any candidate would ever use this word."

Well let see. Bush wanting to impress coulda said to a MLA reporter; "This campaign has me stressed out like a funicuLAR, man." Or, more like himself, "Me being the funicuLAR of this campaign, I'm assured to win."

-- (smarty@wannabe.one), October 11, 2000.

I can overlook George W. mispronouncing a word (haven't we all). But Gore's campaign fly's an American flag backwards!!!
