Watch House Minority Leader John Boehner mispronounce Tuskegee (saying "Tuskejee") like a zillion times during the presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal to the Tuskegee Airmen.
Come on, Boehner! Didn't you ever see The Tuskegee Airmen? Laurence Fishburne, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Andre Braugher, Courtney Vance…? The story of America's first black fighter pilots? Is this ringing any bells at all, dude?
You'd think a guy with a name spelled b-o-e-h-n-e-r, but said bayner, would be a little more sensitive to proper pronunciations.
