WEST CHESTER, Ohio - A bomb squad was called to House Speaker John Boehner's West Chester office Sunday.

A West Chester officer on patrol spotted three black suitcases at the door of Boehner's office around 11:30 a.m.

West Chester police and fire and the Butler County Bomb Squad responded to the scene.

The bomb squad spent two hours disrupting the packages one-by-one with a robot to ensure the area was safe.

2. I sure hope that wasn't a publicly funded bomb squad
It'd be a shame if such a strong advocate of private sector profits and "personal responsibility" had to pay taxes in support of such endeavors.

15. Did he pay in cash?
Hopefully that bomb squad visit wasn't paid for using taxpayers' money. That would just be too liberal...

20. Jobs and Oil?
"There were messages on each of the briefcases that included the words "jobs and oil."

What do you think was meant by that. I get the "jobs" reference but coupled with "oil"?
