Denise Merrill,the veteran state rep from Mansfield who will be the next House majority Leader, just held a news conference introducing her leadership team. Unfortunately, she announced new Deputy Majoriuty Leader Ernie Hewett, D-New London, as “Ernie Newton,” the former Bridgeport lawmaker who’s still in federal prison on corruption charges.
Oops.
“Oh God I did it again,” Merrill said. “I can’t believe I did that. Sorry”
Hewett: “Don’t worry, everybody gets it wrong.”
The Blogster: “My work’s done here.”
