The Audacity of Nope -Vanity Fair article on Corporate Bugger Boehner
http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2010/10/boehner-201010

By Todd S. PurdumWEB EXCLUSIVE October 26, 2010

With his perma-tan, two-pack-a-day baritone, and natty wardrobe, House Republican leader John Boehner is a backslapping, deal-making throwback to the G.O.P.’s past. But his recent “Hell, no!” anti-Obama strategy, as he seeks to ride the Tea Party wave, may point to an ugly future.

If a visitor from a faraway place fetched up in Washington in search of a single person who embodied the manifold complications, contradictions, and pitfalls of the modern Republican Party, he would be well advised to look long and hard into the heavy-lidded blue eyes and smooth mahogany face of John Andrew Boehner, of Ohio, the minority leader of the House of Representatives. Boehner’s personal journey over the past three decades—and especially over the 20 months of Barack Obama’s presidency—neatly parallels that of his party, and presages the warfare to come.

3. Funny thing. I grew up close to the area as he did and went to Catholic schools too.

Our high school use to play his high school. Martin Sheen went to my high school. I knew him and his brothers. We didn't turn to the dark side when Reagan came riding in.

9. "Opama"? What kind of keyboard are you using?
On mine, the 'b' is nowhere near the 'p'.
