Why can't Bush learn to pronounce "nuclear" properly?

Its not like he hasn't heard it a billion times... or have the experts to tell him how its said.

Update:

Ok, but he just can't be THAT stupid. He is able to write and read and generally function in society, the same as some other mildly disabled folks. I'm thinking he does it on purpose, but doesn't it set a bad example?

    Most people cannot pronounce the word nuclear. In my experience in broadcasting I have only met a handful of people (non-professionals) who even know how to pronounce it. If the media had not jumped on his mispronunciation, most American s would not have even known his pronunciation was incorrect.

    Nu-clear. (Only two syllables)

    not

    Nu-Kle-ur
