“D” after the name means the name doesn’t mean sh*t. The possessor is an idiot.

It’s coming, folks, it’s coming.

That this is even considered a “news” story is ridiculous. It feels more and more every day that I’m reliving junior high school.

As much as I would like to agree with the hate here, getting someone’s name pronounced correctly is kind of a big deal in terms of being polite and respectful.

The tone used on both sides was pretty shitty.

But if you are going to dump on someone, get their name right.

This was so childish.
Lesko should have ignored her.

I’d agree with your statement. Take the high road in the debate but yet slam them to the ground.

She is the reality of immigration in the modern era:

Born in Madras (since renamed Chennai), India. Moved to America because India is a shithole country and then moved into the public sector as soon as she could. Spent the last 29 years mooching off the public while working to undermine the USA and jam open the door for the rest of the third world to follow in her footsteps. What an asset.

Diversity is their strength in the war against America.

My Italian last name has three vowels in a row in the middle.

Hasn’t been said correctly by anyone outside of friends and family since I can remember.

It makes me chuckle.

Don’t care. Doesn’t matter.

Well yes it does. When I have to spell it over the phone.

Even spoken slowly, people can’t seem to type three vowels in a row :)

Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was testifying on the Louisiana coastal restoration process in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. He began to answer one of Boxer's questions with "ma'am" when Boxer immediately cut him off.

"You know, do me a favor," an irritated Boxer said. "Could say 'senator' instead of 'ma'am?'"

"Yes, ma'am," Walsh interjected.

The then Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) didn’t like a Brigadier General calling her “ma’am” at an EPW hearing and insisted that he use the proper title: SENATOR.

To quote her: “Do me a favor,” she said, “could say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am?’ It’s just a thing, I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it, yes, thank you.”

These people are so full of themselves.
