Will SOMEONE Tell Donna Brazile ...  

The word "gesture" is pronounced "jes ture" and not "guestshure."

I'm really getting weary of seeing her on CNN and using the word "guestshure" in error, not once, but MANY times.

Lordy! You'd think a public figure like Brazile would know better ... or that SOMEONE on the shows she appears on would say, "Er, Donna, you keep mispronouncing 'jes ture.'"

I can accept her not using "ing," preferring to use "in'" for words like ending, singing, talking, etc., but to mispronounce the same word time after time isn't very acceptable.

What do you think? Should a person who deals with the public as her life's blood be expected to speak correctly? Never mind George Bush. If he hasn't learned how to speak correctly by this point, a few months more won't really matter.

Brazile is a Democratic political strategist who has worked on many Democratic presidential campaigns and as Campaign Manager for Al Gore in 2000.
