Missouri seems to be pronounced Miz-oo-rah by a lot of people, so it might be her accent Hekate Feb 2015 #15

We need a few more good men and women to get in their faces..

My reaction is the exact same as Whoopi's, when I heard wannabe Rudderman Rudy open his mouth - what a poor excuse for a man...

Whoopi has opened the door..now let's see who will follow - speak up loudly - make noise - I'm sick of it...nicey nice just left the room!

Whoopi pronounces the racists name "Julianna" instead of correctly in the beginning.

A small point, but "the other side" mispronounces all the time in childish attempts to slur, and it's a peeve of mine.

Especially when they say "The Democrat Party" instead of "the Democratic Party". I fondly remember Keith Olbermann playing a clip of GWB, who used the pejorative version, and Keith scolded him; ".....And, it's dem-o-crat-ic party. SHOW SOME RESPECT!"

A small point. MSM mispronunciation is rampant some days. There's enough facts on our side that we don't have to resort to slurs and name calling.

I don't remember where she's from, but accents and intonation can make something sound different than it was intended. It also is obvious she is pissed. I know when I am pissed I tend to not care about how I pronounce things. Just a thought....

Guliani does not love our Democratically elected President, therefore Rudi DOESN'T LOVE DEMOCRACY! He obviously didn't grow up with the same American values instilled in me from a wonderful public education. Rudi, being of Italian descent, must have learned a lot of his values from the Mafia?
