Boehner says he hasn't spoken to the WH for "months and months" - except for earlier this month

http://www.politicsdaily.com/2009/10/22/boehner-white-house-hardball-beneath-the-presidency/

<snip>

Boehner said that other than a visit to the White House earlier this month, he has not spoken with the president or the White House for "months and months."

When a reporter asked Boehner if the Obama administration isn't just replicating tactics used by the Bush White House to discredit its critics, Boehner said, "No, I'm not aware of that."

The reporter followed up by asking if revealing the identify of Valerie Plame, the wife of critic Joe Wilson, as a CIA agent wasn't a retaliatory move by the Bush administration, Boehner said, "I don't recall seeing any of it."

1. I fear the orange dye he uses on his skin has seeped into the cavity that would
have held his brain.

3. Shorter Boehner
We can dish it out, but we can't take it.

4. Republicans and video tape
Bill Frist sees videotape of an individual and can perform a complete medical diagnosis, with a thorough and profound understanding of the patient's condition without posing a single question.

Boner sees video news story after news story, interview after interview in the Valerie Plame affair and doesn't remember it, never heard of it, and knows nothing about it.

5. It's the Reagan defense
"I don't recall."

6. You have to give Boehner credit, though.
He went months without meeting anyone that was for the public option.

He hasn't had contact with the White House for months and months.

He knew nothing about the Plame scandal.

And yet, he travels freely from Washington, Dc to Ohio.

Really, he gets a lot accomplished for a guy with his head up his ass.
