Luke Butchers 'Boner' Surname

This morning NBC Capitol Hill Correspondent Luke Russert fell into the unfortunate trap of mispronouncing either House Minority Leader John Boehner‘s or Rep. Jo Bonner‘s (R-Ala.) last name. Russert was on MSNBC discussing the House ethics proceedings against Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.). “It’s up to Zoe Lofgren and John Boner, John Bonner…it’s up to those two to schedule it. The Republicans say it’s up to the Democratic chairwoman. So now it probably won’t happen until 2011.”

It’s hard to know who Russert was referring to since both Boehner and Bonnor have roles in Rangel’s hearing.
