Rachel - it is not Gieana

It is GUYana that is in South America - formerly British Guiana. Tell Issa the country is Guinea in Africa - as in ginee.

Issa is a dumb ass - knows nothing about anything but get the pronunciation correct please.

climate change, ReTHUGs now claim to know more than the doctors. Rand Paul is no fugging doctor.

Seriously America should vote every one of these fools out of power.

...IS a doctor. An ophthalmologist. He's the one who developed his own certification board, of which he is the self-appointed president, because he didn't like the already-existing national board.

Rhymes with ebony. The racist other side has done conflations like this before to confuse the weak minded. There was a Tea Bagger caller on the radio this morning who pronounced it the same. She kept trying to say that airports should be close because that's how they were going to get in to spread it.

Wait and see if other wing nutters start pronouncing it that way.

has been found in a whole slew of voting machines. The virus, Exploit.Airborn.Ebol.I, has similarities to the human virus, Ebola.

I personally get mixed up between Guinea, Ghana and Guyana.

Then there is New Guinea on the other side of the world and guinea pigs in South America.

Did Rachel get it wrong or did Issa get it wrong?
Or did they both get it wrong?

GTA Issa called Guinea Gieana (as did Rachel) and of course he called it Eboli.

Guyana is often confused with French Guiana and Ghana

No excuse for that at her level and in her position.

I'd expect that on Fox. Hope she corrects it.
