You Say "To-may-to", I Say "To-mah-to"

We noticed Wonkette's take on a blog by right-winger Mark "Dumbass" Krikorian where he has a tantrum at National Review Online about having to pronounce Judge Sotomayor's name in the correct Spanish way. He obviously has a problem with the Judge's ethnic background, and wants to Anglicize the pronunciation. He writes that "insisting on an unnatural pronunciation is something we shouldn't be giving in to." Unnatural for who, idiota? Pronouncing the name "Krikorian" naturally, we could come up with "krik-or-REE-an," "krik-or-ree-AN," or "Crack-whore-ian."

The marginalization of the right wing continues. . . .
