I think he said "NUKE-u-lar" one day and his handlers looked at it and said, NO, DO NOT CORRECT IT.

I was reading an article on politician "handlers," back at the beginning of his first campaign, that claimed he actually used to say the word correctly when he was governor of Texas, and that they must have outright TOLD him to say it incorrectly because it would make him more approachable. But of course I couldn't begin to remember a source for that...
