Do we say his last name like I think we say it?
He doesn't look excited! *snicker*

Some of us do. I think that the way he pronounces it is so that the first syllable, instead of rhyming with "go," rhymes with "gay," though.

Could they have possibly found a worse picture of him. He looks like someone just threw salt into his eyes.

It's pronounced "bay-nur." I learned that one the hard way...oops!
I think the photo is very appropriate, munzilla.

I don't know how he pronounces it I just know he must have had a rough time in school.
I was wondering the same thing. Whether he is wearing eyeliner or not, I am certain he's wearing foundation.
Is it just me or does he bear a striking resemblance to that Stuart character on Mad TV?

I think he looks sort of glazed. Like a figure from a wax museum.

I still think he's lying about that being the "correct" pronunciation. Personally, I think he should just accept what the gods have dealt him and run with it, like that fellow from Growing Pains.
Nice to see such intellectually stimulating conversation on Newsvine. Did anyone else involved in this string of comments not even bother to read the piece?
hehe, Blunt is Boehner's whip... Oh why am I so juvenile... And no, I didn't read the piece...

I hope the Republicans figure out what they're really all about. They've been lost in the desert of neo-conservatism for so long that I'm wondering whether it will take forty years (like Moses) for them to find their way again. Just read the writings of Eisenhower, guys, and get your bearings again. Get rid of the Delays, Frists, and other out-of-touch right-wingers. Be the party of the loyal opposition and try to make America good again. But, first, you have to get rid of the dildo at the top.
