What the fuck is with people in the media pronouncing the word 'nuclear' as 'nucular'?

...and rightfully so, may I add :)

Metathesis-shmetathesis, they should learn to speak properly. First time I heard this was from our beloved President and I remember chuckling about yet another bushism. But then Jon Stewart said it on Daily Show (not as a prank), then Robin Williams in his Live On Broadway show (also not as a joke), and then it made it to official network news.

I cringe every time I hear it from somebody who's supposed to be intelligent :)
