In 2007 Boehner said he didn't trust what the CIA was telling him either
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0509/22546.html

House Democrats were none too amused when John Boehner went after Nancy Pelosi for saying the CIA misled her during a 2002 briefing on enhanced interrogations.

Boehner defended the agency’s record and said it was “hard” for him to imagine “anyone in our intelligence area would ever mislead a member of Congress.”

No sooner had the words come out of the Republican leader’s mouth than Democratic staffers were passing around Boehner quotes in which Boehner — you guessed it — questioned the effectiveness of U.S. intel agencies.

On Dec. 9, 2007, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Boehner: “Are you suggesting, as I think you are, that you don’t necessarily have confidence in this new NIE ?”

Boehner: “Either I don’t have confidence in what they told me several months ago or I don’t have confidence in what they’re telling me today.”

2. Mr. Boehner did a lot of drinking back then. I'm sure his memory of those days is a bit fuzzy.

4. Sorry -- I never intended to imply he had stopped. My favorite Boehner moment...
... was his sobbing into the microphone on the floor of Congress in 2007 for no apparent reason.

5. You mean Boehner, the Representative from Ohio with such high ethics?
Is this the same John Boehner who handed out campaign donation checks from the tobacco industry on the floor of the House in 1995 RIGHT BEFORE A VOTE ON TOBACCO SUBSIDIES?

That John Boehner?

Every time this son of a bitch opens his filthy mouth, someone ought to ask him about this.

The man should not be representing the people of Ohio. In fact, the man IS NOT representing the people of Ohio, he's representing corporations who pay him money for things. Is it any wonder Ohio has lost so many jobs since Boehner has been in office?
