Mike Stark: National Enquirer working on John Boehner story.

[RandySF]

Remember the videos under the fold? I posted them last September on the day that Boehner made his "Pledge to America" (ah... the irony...)

Anyway, the aftermath saw Page 6 of the New York Post claiming that the NYTimes was working on a story. That story never ran, but evidently Boehner hasn't been successful in making the story go away. I was recently contacted by a reporter from the National Enquirer, and now I have confirmation that their story will hit the newsstands on Thursday.

I wonder how well Boehner's zero-tolerance pledge regarding corruption will hold up when it comes out that several hundred paper-making jobs were lost in his district and he refused to do anything about it at the same time he was sleeping with a lobbyist for the printing industry that was very happy to get their cheap paper from China.

Gotta give it to Lyons though! She's one hell of a lobbyist!

9. This must be why he cries so often...

He knows the fan is going to get hit, big time, and all those lucky breaks of his lifetime are going down the tube.

I can't wait.

11. Yes. That is why he is crying so often.

12. I swear I thought that too when he was just getting elected to Speaker

He had a deer-in-the-headlights look, bordering on panic IMO, like he was not really ready for what was coming and knew it wouldn't last and that it was all too good to be true.
