Anyone read Bonerzs Wiki entry lately?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boehner

Must have been written by his Chief of Staff...

For example:
Fiscal cliff and Hurricane Sandy relief bill
On January 1, 2013, after passing the fiscal cliff deal, Boehner adjourned the house without passing the $60 million Hurricane Sandy relief bill. Some Representatives, especially from the Northeast and including Republicans as well as Democrats, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie harshly criticized Boehner.[42] Boehner later promised to pass the bill.[43] However, some commentators praised Boehner for not passing a bill they saw as full of pork barrel.[44]

Here are two points I would make:

a. it says he grew up in a bar. That explains a lot: probably an alky by the time he was 13
2. it says that as a night janitor he met the young lady who was to become his wife. Anyone else's eyebrows go up? That really requires an explanation if for nothing else than clarity.
