Peggy Noonan, K. Parker, et al are going to have another melt-down over the ice cream stop.....””

Did anyone else catch Kathleen Parker on Crissy Mathew’s show Sunday AM?

I sat straight up in bed when at the end of the show in the segment “Tell me Something I Don’t know”, she said MIAMI==MEE-AAH-MEEE. Long “E” on each syllable.
I have never heard that pronumciation before.
Am I wrong?
I thought it was pronounded MI-AM-MEE. Long “I” and Long “E”, and short “A”.Both words accented on the middle syllable.

How can someone who is that much of a writer, talk show celeb, etc make such an error?
Since the show was taped, why didn’t they catch it and retape that comment???

Yes, MEEE-AHHHH-MEEEE is the "Hispanic" pronunciation, donchaknow. If you want to sound appropriately snooty you need to start pronouncing it that way.

Just like Pockeystahhhnn! LOL
