Morning Oopsy: Mika Butchers Congresswoman's Name

This morning GOP Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to discuss the fiscal cliff. Host Mika Brzezinski appeared ecstatic to talk with her and have her on the program. When it came time to say goodbye, Mika grew flustered. So much so that it’s difficult to write out precisely how she butchered the congresswoman’s name, but it was something like this.

“Congressman Cathy mmmmcrkmmm McMorris Russell…WOW!” she said.

McMorris Rodgers smiled and didn’t try to correct the host.

But actually her last name is Rodgers.
