A Message from Rahm Emanuel

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com


NBC should learn to spell his last name correctly, don't you think?

Yes, NBC should. And so should DemConWatch.

EDIT: DCW list has been fixed. Thank you.

Is that how you pronounce John Boehner's last name, like the oe is an a?

Yes, like a long 'a.' Think German pronounciation.

No, that's English mangling of German pronunciation. German pronunciation of "Boehner" would be like "Berner", except go very light on the initial 'r'. Better, leave that 'r' out but don't change how you pronounce the 'e' before it. Kinda somewhere between "Berner" and "Buhner".

Oh, as in Werner? (I have a bunch of German relatives, but I can't speak German.)

Pity they weren't able to work in something about a dead fish.

I had Phil Heder picked for the Rahm impression, but this isn't half bad.

Bill Heder? Jon Heder? these things confuse me.
