nukular, Lisa... nukular

I was watching Fareinheit 9/11 yesterday night and I wonder why people would elect president a guy who keeps saying "nukular" instead of "nuclear". It's like voting for Homer Simpson and trust him to run the country.
I guess Americans were tired of the intellectual types, I can understand why. Snotty guys are pretty hard to swallow when they look down on you like you're nothing, especially if they consider that you are stupid, that your whole culture is worthless.
In that sense, it was easier to root for the cowboy with a drinking problem (an Andy Sipowicz if you will, Homer Simpson's idol) than a contemporary art and culture lover.
Still, "nukular" sounds bad (even for a cowboy).
