Pete Buttigieg has a difficult name to pronounce. It's why we say Buttgig (see Pete Buttigieg to Pro-Life Democrat: This Ain’t Your Party Anymore [VIDEO] and Pete Buttigieg Supporter Teaches Other Supporters ‘High Hopes’ Dance). It's simpler that way. Plus ... we're children. But our betters in the mainstream media seem to be having issues with his first name, so much so that they keep calling him "Poot." Which, as far as I'm concerned, makes his name officially Poot Buttgig.

I think I have this figured out. Or, I at least have two working theories. The first theory is that the United Brotherhood of Teleprompter Operators of America (UBTOA) are all secret Bernie Bros, and changing the word "Pete" to "Poot" was a secret agreement they all made.

The second theory is that the media are so nervous about being canceled over giggling about the word "butt" in Buttigieg that they are extra self-conscious about it. Because of that, they don't pay as much attention to the much-easier-to-say "Pete."

There's only one way this ends. Someone is going to accidentally call him "Butt Pottigieg." And it will destroy the internet. I'm here for it.
