Boehner-Living High on the Hog

Those teabaggers shouldn't be looking too far when they pretend to be 'outraged' by political games. They've got Boehner in their camp.

GOP's Boehner raises money -- in style

...the 59-year-old Ohio Republican, who grew up the second-oldest of 12 children in a two-bedroom home, is raising money while staying in some of the finest hotels, dining in gourmet restaurants and golfing on famous courses.

A Gannett analysis shows that in the past two years:

Boehner has walked the fairways of the Greenbrier Resort's famed Old White course in scenic West Virginia, where greens fees run $195 and golf legends Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer have played. Tom Watson is the current golf pro. He has stayed at the Peninsula Beverly Hills, the highest-rated luxury hotel in Southern California, where the cheapest room goes for more than $500 a night. He has dined at Bar Boulud, which is frequented by a who's who of New York City Upper East Side regulars and whose chef has been honored for his contribution to French culture.

Expenses include nearly $1 million for airfare, hotels, meals and golf split about evenly between the two committees, according to reports from January 2007 through August 2009 for Freedom Project and January 2007 through September 2009 for Friends of John Boehner. Each spent a little more than $50,000 on air travel. The Freedom Project spent at least $472,000 on lodging, food, entertainment and events, with about $417,000 of that spent outside Ohio. Friends of John Boehner spent at least $416,000, with about $143,000 in Ohio for events, entertainment, food and lodging.

Did they say the word 'FRENCH' ?!!! The Republican is eating FRENCH cuisine?!! FoxNews better hurry up and do an in-depth piece on this un-American practice of Republicans dining on anything but American cuisine. With all that spending on accounts of 'corporate supporters', another GOP politician learns the art of pretending to be a 'man of the people' while living like 'queen of the land'. Let's see what the tea baggers say. You can't cherry pick your outrage.

And thus require lots of special luxuries as they raise mega-cashmoneybucks and plan how to have Fox 'news' & Rush 'DraftDodger' Limbaugh ($30 million a year) extend their propaganda campaign to keep convincing their kool-aid legions to continue to vote against their own interests with brilliant strategeries like Tax Cuts for the Wealthy, and Ongoing Massive Profits for Health 'Care' Corporations

How perfectly unAmerican the "Elite" Republicon Homelanders are.

Boner's obstructionist ways are not from any deep seeded political ideology but from the fact he is living the good life thanx to lobbyists and fund raising .....
$1,000,000 from Jan 2007 (when he became House minority leader) to August 2009. That is a hell of a lot of rob roys, golf, and prime rib.

And still he's crying like a baby? Maybe his diaper needs changed too?

the "Patriot Act"

Everything about Boner is as bogus as his studio tan...

This story might get some real "legs" because it was published in a small town Ohio newspaper
and Ohio is hurting and "the Boner's" good time express will not play well here even among
some of the red voters.

Don't forget the time he handed out tobacco industry "campaign donation" checks ON THE HOUSE FLOOR minutes before a vote on the tobacco industry!

The man is a fraud and a hypocrite, and likely a criminal as well. He's hardly doing what's best for his constituents in Ohio, unless that also happens to benefit and profit him, personally.

Boehner is a fake tan disgrace. Everything about him is fake.

sleazeball. He reminds me of a two bit snake oil salesman.

I can't count fast enough.

and it's perfect for Boehner :hi: :rofl:

"the faster we counted the spray-on tan cans." He and Sanford have people counting everything in sight.
Ol'RWE would probably start counting just looking at him. :hi:

he's depleting tanning resources from Americans who really need it
