Lovely form. Nice tan.
Another Boehner boner:
House Minority Leader John Boehner torched President Barack Obama Wednesday for his European trip to pitch the Chicago Olympics bid, criticizing the president for "going to go off to Copenhagen when we’ve got serious issues here at home that need to be debated."
[...]
"Listen I think it’s a great idea to promote Chicago but he’s the president of the United States, not the mayor of Chicago," Boehner said. "And the problems we have here at home affect all Americans and that’s where his attention ought to be."
Let’s tee this one up:
During the ongoing saga of the House’s "Phantom Session," two items have caught Capitol Briefing’s eye:
Item 1: On Monday, John McCain joined the party by declaring "Congress should come back into session," for an energy vote. "I am willing to come back off the campaign trail," he said.
Item 2: On Tuesday, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) issued a release commending McCain for his call, trashing Barack Obama and adding: "While Democrats left town for a month-long break, House Republicans have stayed behind and continued to demand a vote on the American Energy Act, which will help lower energy prices and liberate America from its dependence on foreign oil."
Boehner was around for the start of the fake House session Friday but then left town and hasn’t been back since. Even former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) showed up today to rally with his GOP comrades, but the current party leader was nowhere to be seen.
What’s Boehner been up to? His office says he’s been in Ohio raising money for his political action committee, the Freedom Project, and that he should be back in D.C. later this week. He’s also doing 18 events in August for GOP candidates across the country.
But Boehner also has found time to squeeze in a couple rounds of golf. Scores reported by Boehner himself to a United States Golf Association site show that he posted an 85 sometime this week at his home course, Wetherington Golf & Country Club in West Chester, Ohio. Boehner spokesman Michael Steel said he wasn’t exactly sure of the details of Boehner’s 18 holes, but that he felt confident that "if he did play at home, it was over the weekend."
Golf carts are electric. I just thought I would mention that….

Well since there is noone to debate the “serious issues” at home, what with the Repubs trying to obstruct Herr Glorious Leader Jesus Obama at every turn and many Democrats cowering in fear, why not go off and at least do something he has a chance at succeeding at?
Nice legs by the way, John. You ratfuck asshole who doesn’t give a damn about the United States.
Did your government health care pay for the spray-on tan, Boner?
Yeah, it’s not like Ohio would ever get to host the Olympics, but hey — check this out:
The Ohio GOP must be thrilled. Boehner-boy will no doubt be attending with his favorite golf club… Maybe he’ll team up with Tom DeLay. They’d fit right in.
Did Democrats make a big fuss every time Bush went out of the country? From what I remember, we just started betting pools on the nature of the inevitable humiliating faux pas.
I remember winning a bundle on “bad touch” that one time.
How many fucking Michael Steel’s do these idiots have?
“It’s a baby carrot.”
“What did you do, hump a bowl of yams?”
“It’s a hairy Cheez Doodle.”
“Looks like a bald George Hamilton.”
“If it was a movie, it would be “A Cockwork Orange.”
Leave it to
GarrityBoehner to jerk-off using self-tanner as lube. He’s as dumb as they come.http://www.cliqueclack.com/tv/…..ange-dick/
Hey, does “Lovely form. Nice tan” have its roots in the last moments of the Who’s classic “Dogs”, in which Townshend can be heard to admire his hound of choice by saying “Lovely form…lovely buttocks!”
That color region site is referencing a NYT article today that quotes AEI and a PNAC warmonger saying that President Obama is not paying enough attention to Afghanistan. Bleck!
Here’s a pacifier, Boehner. Now, suck on it.
Boehner boner? Isn’t that redundant?
what a fucking queen!
–whistle–
Those hips were made for child-bearin’
There’s gotta be some man-boobs on that one
Well, no, I sympathize. I mean, here he is, having his temper tantrum, kicking his feet and pounding his fists and screaming and crying, and Daddy just gives him A Look and walks away not even nine months into the thing. You go to all that trouble to make a scene, you can start to feel really neglected when the adults ignore it.
uh-oh, he’s gonna have some issues
ifwhen he grows up!Golf Carts cost American Oil Jobs!
Damn, he looks like a leather pear with white stripes painted around it.
If Chicago’s running a deficit now, and it probably is, trust me when I say it will be even more broke after the Olympics.
The Olympics is the biggest economic con job EVER. Talk about a pyramid scheme.
Vancouver is hosting the Winter olympics next year and we’ll be paying for this 2-week circus for YEARS. Plus you lose civil liberties, plus your homeless people get rounded up and herded out of sight, plus jobs are lost due to security and on and on. The Olympics is always promoted as a boost for the local economy but it’s more of a boost for the IOC and all their pals and a few hotels.
After seeing the results locally, I recommend the IOC establish an Olympic City in some big space in Europe, build what they need and then maintain that instead of this round the world wine-and-dine-the-IOC bullshit.
Oh yes, and BOehNER is a jerk.
Ah yes, the finely-tuned physique of the amateur golfer. Woo woo.
Name something that has the shape of a pear, is the color of a saddle and is dumb as a rock.
I think the photo ID he appears to be wearing in the otherwise unoccupied region of his genitalia must be necessary to ascertain that yes, yes indeed, he is a Caucasian because he certainly doesn’t look white and that could lead to a most unpleasant situation.
