1. How come in every photo it looks like Boehner

needs to barf in the toilet bowl?

2. Pres. Obama correctly refers to Kenny as "Taoiseach Kenny."

"Taoiseach" (pronounced TEE-shock) is the Irish language title equivalent to Prime Minister.

BTW, what is Boehner doing: crying or blowing his nose?

4. Boehner was crying as someone

sang "Danny Boy". I saw a clip on CNN.

3. Boehner always looks unhappy.

I think he might need some career counseling to find a job better suited to his personality. The contrast with President Obama's upbeat (often smiling) demeanor is striking.

7. Has Boehner been under a tanning bed?

compared with the Irish prime minister he looks sun tanned?

8. Good Obama pictures. It was nice of him to bring Orange Boehner along.

9. Friends of Ireland? So why all the Scots and Great Highland Pipes?

Why not Irish pipers?

10. Good catch
