Stop us if you've heard this one before, but Governor Jan Brewer had an
incredibly difficult time spitting out words.

Brewer was commemorating those famous African-American pilots from
World War II yesterday -- you know, the Tusakee, Tusks, Tuh-see-gee,
Tuskegee, Tuska-skee, Tuske-tuh, TUSKEGEE, Tus-kee-kee, Tus-kuh-kee Airmen.

Yes, those were all of the actual pronounciations of "Tuskegee Airmen"
Brewer attempted yesterday.
