Whoopi Goldberg screws up Texas GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold’s surname, includes the word ‘fart’
“It seems like Republicans may be starting to turn on each other a little bit over this health care battle,” Whoopi explained. “Congressman Blake Fartenhall…Farenthold ….complained on a radio show about how Sen. Susan Collins holding out on voting and her response wa scauhg on a hot mic. I don’t know what that means. …Susan Collins was heard saying something about this particularly senator.”
(He’s actually a member of the House, Whoopi, but no biggie.)
The other female co-hosts laughed and informed her that the “t” comes later in Farenthold’s name.
So it’s not actually pronounced “Fartenhall.”
Co-Host Joy Behar added, “Susan better watch herself because her mic is always on.”
