I wonder if Boehner's state (Ohio) had anything to do with the decision.

This is from Boehner's website:

Quote:

John Boehner (Bay-ner), elected to represent the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio for an eighth term in November 2004, continues to be a key leader in the fight for a smaller, more accountable federal government.

This is funny for 2 reasons:

1. He knew people would think his name was pronounced 'Bo-ner' so he clarified the way to say it.

2. Quote: "smaller, more accountable federal government"? Hahahahaha!

No, he isn't concerned about boner. I'm guessing he was afraid people would think it was pronounced "bee-ner" and he wouldn't want to be confused for a Mexican.
