Finally! A word that rhymes with "orange"
Ok, so I invented this one myself, but it could work. The word is "storeange".

As in, "Boehner's tan can't possibly be real; you know that orange hue of his comes from the supermarket. Obvious 'storeange'".

5. There once was a man who turned orange..
But it turned out that he was just storeange
His tan was full throttle
'Cause it came from a bottle..
Now we need a third word to rhyme with orange.

Haha.

Wait! Your explanation works on several levels. If it is applied, then that might explain the tears. A little too liberal around the eyes. It might be the only thing liberal about him.

14. I'm guessing the zeros are the reason
For the "watermelon" name. They kind of look like watermelons.

18. LOL. Are you smarter than a fifth grader?
Now maybe we all are :-) I bet Boehner gets creamed on that show. I'd like to see the show, "Are you smarter than a Republican 2012 Presidential Candidate?"

Love to see Bachmann versus a fifth grader on American history!

19. dots a gud vun! and you're right about the stripes. incidentally, that bill
sold for over $2 MILLION. it's the most ever paid for paper money, at least as of the time the site on which I found it was published

btw, I bet him three thousand bucks, cause I was certain there wasn't a word that rhymed. he came up with 'door hinge' earlier, but then he got his sister to check online, and she found sporange

I really would love to see a presidential candidates' version of AYSTAFG, or Jeopardy, or a geography bee (we have one of those at our school)...quick...where are the Islets of Langerhans?

And believable: That's the best sendoff for a new word! I guess it's really a portmanteau, though, but whatevs!

24. I once wrote a short story that used only one syllable words for a class
The professor circled the word "orange." In my New Yawkah dialect of the time, "orange" was a one syllable word (ahwnj). In her standard American English, it was two syllables (o-range). Will never forget that.

25. Boehner is an idiot, but he does have a medical condition that
causes his odd skin color. He apparently has metabolic carotenemia--it's genetic and one of his sisters has it too.

I always feel kind of uneasy when I see people being made fun of for their skin color.

28. I saw him interviewed, and he blamed
his "tan" on mountain biking. Maybe he isn't comfortable going public. If so, I can understand. Do you have a reference?
