Boner has a spot to hang out and relax....

http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/boehner_lair_7SzpujPOiPgPbeN3GHaRzM

John Boehner has already found a safe and secret hot spot off Capitol Hill to relax and smoke cigars. Sources say the newly minted speaker of the House, who's known for his "Mad Men" style, is a regular at CXIII Rex, a members-only cigar club in Alexandria, Va., where lobbyists mingle and the press is strictly banned. Described as "part classic Playboy Club, part Goldfinger's lair," it's open to 200 members for a $5,000 fee plus monthly dues -- but the speaker is always welcome as an honorary member. Boehner's rep didn't get back to us.

The club must really stink. Come to think of it, so must Speaker Orangefinger.

8. there he's laughing his ugly ass off

you know the alcohol progression...happy, angry, sad.

In my mind I see him drinking and smoking and glad handing getting really drunk; abusing the hat check girl on the way out and when the real world hits him like cold air, he begins to cry.

7. I don't begrudge any politician having a place to go to get away from

the press hounds and oposers. If it were me, I'd sure want a place like that. What I DO hate is that lobbyists aren't banned as well!

9. "where lobbyists mingle and the press is strictly banned"

Where deals can be made under the table and we will all get screwed.

Do they sell the orange spray there?
