Jack Bauer's stupid mis-pronunciation of nuclear as nukular can only be seen as another tactic of the dumbing down of public intelligence to the level of non-President George Dumbya Bush. Bauer's ignorant mis-pronunciation helps provide propagandistic cover for an ignoramus Commander-in-Chief who has led the most corrupt, inept, and catastrophically unintelligent "presidency" in US history. Republicans thrive on degrading standards wherever they gain influence -- lowering standards for air and water pollution, toxic emissions, public well-being, forests, oceans, rivers, voting technology, corporate accountability, torture, civil rights ... whatEVER they touch, they degrade. 24 colludes in the degradation on a weekly basis.

Think about it...just...think about it.

KieferBauer has pronounced nuclear properly (new-clear) two times so far in season 2. In the more recent episodes he says "nucular." Whatbeupwiddat?

For instance, in the three years between Seasons 1 and 2, CTU wasn't infiltrated, because they didn't show it to us.
