The 'mispronounce' bit is regional or cultural elitism.

<snip>
The volitilization of vowels is so subtle in most words that the outside
hearer supplys the vowel (isn't aware that the word is being pronounced
differently) only they hear it as a strong accent. In fluent conversaton it's
Appl'Pie, two syllables. The phenomenon only occurs because in may forms of
Southern
speech polysylabic words of more than three syllables put a strong primary
accent or emphasis on more than one syllable. This occludes the short syllable
and it disappears.

The ignorance does not lie with Bush, but in linguistic and cultural elitists.
