Where will John Bohener Go?
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 12/23/2012 15:55:02

Poor, poor, John. Poor, pour John, yes, pour him another drink. He wants to go home and sit at his favorite bar. Turn in the large gavel to someone else. Paul Ryan maybe? So far, it doesn't look like anyone really wants the job. It's become the 'hot potato' of Washington.

His own party abandons him on his Plan B. Some of them later admitting they thought they were talking about a form of birth control.

It's pretty embarrassing to walk around touting a fabulous plan for the President and then turning to your party and finding they would not vote for it. This is what it feels like to have no friends John, maybe you should go pour yourself another drink and complain to the bartender.

But lets get to the real nagging issue. Why does John Boehner pronounce his name wrong? According to the internets it's because his name is German and so that is why its pronounced "bay-ner". But it also says, on his wiki page, that his father was "of German descent", which is not really being German. I mean, I am from Irish descent but I sure as heck ain't Irish.

This conspiracy of his name MUST be addressed. First, he is American, not German, and even if he were German, it's about time he assimilate! I mean, he is 3rd in line of of the Presidency of this country which, last time I checked was America!

Second, even if is was of direct German descent and his name was pronounced 'bayner' wouldn't it have an umlaut over the 'o'? Granted, I'm no wordsmith or English major nor do I speak a word of German other than what you'd find in one of those old black and white war movies where the German bad guy would speak in English with an occasional "Nein" or "Heil" thrown in. But it just seems to me that now that we've all but abandoned the IBM Selectric we can at any time put the little dots over the 'o' of his name. Like this >> ö

John Böehner. Jöhn Böehner. Jöhn Böëhnër if you want... not sure how that'd be pronounced though.

So John, what's the deal? Amy Poehler don't pronounce her name funny and frankly, she looks more German than you. Do German youth living here in America go around saying, "that's so goehy"? You need to admit your failures, not just in the inability to get your own party to follow you, but in trying to deceive the public with your name. It's Boehner - boner. And it suits you just fine.

Until then, some of us will call it as we see it. And those of us that do, call that: Honesty.
