I still insist on pronouncing his name as though it were spelled “Boner.” And I’m not gonna stop, neither.

Boehner in German is an alternative way of writing Böhner. The e is a replacement for the umlaut sign of the preceding vowel.
Böhner is pronounced as… trying in my best phonetic here… ‘Buh-ner’.

Yeah, most of us get that, but changing pronunciation of non-English names is a thing in the US and Canada. The Chicago Blackhawks has a player with a family name of Toews. Care to guess how that is pronounced here? [Hint: it’s not Mangrove Throatwarbler.]

Can we not aid the John Boehner Rehabilitation Tour?
Not liking Ted Cruz isn’t an achievement. I would question whether Ted Cruz’s mother gets beyond “barely tolerates” for Ted Cruz.

John Boner may express a sentiment we all can agree with, but he sounds bitter and angry, especially considering he had a hand in the rise of the Cruz’s and other tea party hacks. So, in fair accordance with the universal law of you reap what you sow: Go fuck yourself, John.

Yeah, the ironic thing about these GOP guys is that they don’t recognize themselves in the people they hate.

It’s the e sound but with the lips rounded as in o. Or, approximately the ‘eur’ sound in ‘Europe’ but without the e or the r. Whatever it is, it’s a sound we don’t really have in any dialect of English. This Boner prick does not warrant importing an extra vowel sound into English just so we can pronounce his name.

That weird rich dude pot cartel was why I voted against marijuana legalization in Ohio. Otherwise I would have been for it. They pretty much found a way to make pot even more illegal, just for anyone who isn’t them, and then call it “legal”.

He sounds here like the very definition of ‘lush’.

He sounds pretty drunk in that audio clip. If the whole book is like that it would be very unpleasant to listen to.

This is nothing compared to his recent POLITICO piece, in which he declared dozens of Republican reps crazy and also dunked on Cruz.

Thanks! I use a lot of usernames that are a combination between a modern profession and an old tribe / civilization, but this is the first one that sorta makes sense.
