Obama’s National Security Chief Of Staff Goes ‘Nucular’

video

After years of the cringe-worthy pronunciation of nu-cu-lar during the Bush White House, it seemed like we finally had an administration who had a litmus test in staffing their National Security detail - pronounce the word "nuclear." Not so. During an interview to discuss Iran's weapons program with MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today, National Security Chief of Staff Denis McDonough definitely uttered the term Nucular. Gotcha! Right-wing critics eager for payback? Go! Video after the jump.

NYC Tabloids Will Have A Paterson Scandal No Matter What!

New York was promised a government sex scandal, dammit, and we better well get one! At least if the New York City tabloids have anything to do with it.
