John Boehner channels G DUHbya

It has become a political rite of spring. For the second year in a row, House Speaker John Boehner has released a video of himself with his lawnmower.

Titled "Lawn Care 101," this year's clip, features Boehner going to his local hardware store to pick up a newly-sharpened blade for his Toro mower.

"This is how it's supposed to be," Boehner says while running his thumb across the blades sharp edge. "That cuts grass, it doesn't tear it."

Back home, the Speaker is seen affixing the new blade, and adding oil to the mower, before the message, "Happy Spring" appears on the screen.

A press release accompanying the video touts the Speaker as someone who “still irons his own shirts, washes his own dishes, and yes … cuts his own grass.”
