stupid CNN

Whoever told Aaron Brown to pronounce the name of the capital of Louisiana as “baTONNE rouge” should be shot.

Just because it’s French in origin doesn’t mean you have to sound like an idiot on national television by attempting to pronounce it that way.

(Hah! He is slipping! I just heard him say “BATun Rouge”, which is proper, as anyone from the South could tell you.)
