I am about 500 PENL msgs behind in my reading, so I don't know whether
it has already been discussed, but there is something much more important
than whether Shrub can speak.  Everybody has known for a long time he can't
speak English (or any other language) very well.  But he HAS had the 
Marines engaged in "urban exercises" in Little Rock, AK and other places,
which has included posting snipers, stopping and seaching cars, searching
houses, etc.  It is unconstituional to use the military for domestic policing.
He has also ordered the Pentagon to develop strategies for the first use
of nuclear weapons for offensive purposes.  It is pretty irrelevant whether
he can pronounce "nuclear" correctly as he orders the use of these weapons.

Anyone listen to W's press conference?  He kept saying "nucular" for
nuclear.  He also said "commiserate with" when it seemed like he was
trying to say "consistent with".

That tradition was started by Eisenhower.
