I’m a dinner jacket
For years I’ve clumsily mispronounced the name of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but yesterday’s N.Y. Times Maureen Dowd column about Ahmadinejad’s Manhattan visit has solved the problem for good. Katie Couric, she writes, “has dryly has told people that she remembers how to pronounce his name with the mnemonic ‘I’m a dinner jacket.’”
uh…yes, that like everybody else has been using that exact meme for the past year and a half. couric didn’t make that up at all. even stephanie miller uses it. jeez.
welcome to the party, dowd and couric.
It’s not a hard name to pronounce. Pundits intentionally mispronounce it because xenophobia and anti-intellectualism get good ratings.
I kind of miss hearing Hal Fishman say it with the dramatic pause beforehand like he was building up to something big and then he’d spit it out one syllable at a time with that “Those crazy foreigners and their crazy names” glimmer in his eye.
Bocephus = New D.Z.?
“Dammit, man! Are ratings continue to slip, despite our Special Reports and sweeps-week gimicks. There’s only one thing left to do before the network drops the hammer on us. Start mispronouncing the name of the Iranian president. It’s our only hope.”
I believe this is what Bush calls him. Seriously. I prefer Dennis Miller’s name- Aqua Velva Man.
I thought aqua velva man was Fred Thompson?
And yes, Bocephus is the new D.Z.. I’m hardly the first to make this observation. It is one of the running jokes on Colbert’s show. The first time he ever said the name on the show he pronounced it correctly. Then he ran a series of clips from the 24-hour news cycle of all these anchors mispronouncing the name, and decided it was his duty to carry the torch. Ever since he has comically mispronounced the name in some fashion.
Why else would TV news fail to get it right? Is it that hard to look up the pronunciation and practice it a few times before going on the air? I’d much rather assume that the media acts this way to pander to their cynical impression of common people. I would hate to think that the people who are providing us with our news are actually this xenophobic and anti-intellectual.
It’s all about farming disrespect for a foreign leader that the administration has propped up as The Enemy. I don’t believe that Ahmadinejad is a good guy, but he is still the head of a foreign state and it is just plain bad manners to treat a foreign leader this way when he visits your country.
I believe you are referring to Chris Matthews deeply disturbing comments regarding Fred Thompson:
“Can you smell the English leather on this guy, the Aqua Velva, the sort of mature man’s shaving cream, or whatever, you know, after he shaved? Do you smell that sort of — a little bit of cigar smoke? You know, whatever.”
That’s exactly what I’m referring to.

“Khrushchev disembarked from his plane at Andrews Air Force Base to a 21-gun salute and a receiving line of 63 officials and bureaucrats, ending with President Eisenhower. He rode 13 miles with Ike in an open limousine to his guest quarters across from the White House. Then he met for two hours with Ike and his foreign policy team. Then came a white-tie state dinner. (The Soviets then put one on at the embassy for Ike.) […]
Had America suddenly succumbed to a fever of weak-kneed appeasement? Had the general running the country — the man who had faced down Hitler! — proven himself what the John Birch Society claimed he was: a conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy?
No. Nikita Khrushchev simply visited a nation that had character. That was mature, well-adjusted. A nation confident we were great.”
Well put, Bocephus.
Khrushchev was white.
I would have loved a 21-gun salute for Ahmadinejad. I just wish they were aimed at him.
“I would have loved a 21-gun salute for Ahmadinejad. I just wish they were aimed at him.”
Welcome to Fantasies of the Right and Infamous!
Too bad for Josh Massey that Ahmadinejad is basically the puppet of Ayatollah Khamenei. It would be like standing Tony Snow in front of a firing squad (or whoever the hell is replacement is).
Y’all are so easy sometimes.
I wouldn’t want to shoot Dana Perino. She’s way too cute.
