New Majority Leader

I just have to do this...

Published on February 2, 2006 By InfoGeek In Politics

The Republican Representative from Ohio has been elected the Majority Leader of the House.

This gives the House its first Major Boehner since the Tip O'Neil Christmas party.

However the House still substantially lags behind the Clinton Administration.

John Boehner (R-Ohio) was selected by the House Republican caucus today to replace Tom DeLay as majority leader. It's one of the top jobs in Washington, so we might as well start pronouncing Boehner's name correctly from the outset.

Name: John Boehner

Title: Member of Congress, Majority Leader of the House of Representatives

Last Name Pronounced: "BAY-ner"

My way is funnier and probably how it was "pronounced" in high School.
