Infinite MonkeysDennis Miller's comment: "I'll worry about how the President says 'Abu Ghraib' when someone in the Arab world learns how to pronounce the word 'Democracy.'"
My comment: it was absurd almost to the point of surreal to hear the snide commentators on local L.A. public radio's AirTalk mock the President's pronunciation while mispronouncing the name themselves.
Slate's Explainer explains it. It doesn't rhyme with "babe."
And, yes, Dennis pronounced it wrong too. But he said "democracy" just fine, and that's what matters.
