I wonder who will be darker, Boehner or his new son-in-law, who is clearly black. I'll bet the Speaker just LOVES that. You know what's underneath that hat, don't you? A couple feet of dreadlocks!!! ROFLMBO!!!

giggle, snort! - Life is good.

I love the hat and dreads!

I love the pic of Boehner at the brink of going into full - Tammy Faye mode!

Priceless.

Why would he? - Mrs. Tingles

I'm sure his stances on marijuana will remain the same. Just cos his daughter married him doesn't mean he'll change his position. In fact it will probably make him stronger in his viewpoints.

Wish the Boehner's well. There is no reason to think this is something to gloat about. Maybe the boy is very nice and they get along fine. Since you don't know the situation or them personally I would say your assumptions are just that.

I am sure you would be gloating if this were - Sasha or Malia

just sayin

What is there to gloat about? That someone got married? - Sorry I'm already married and happy

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't care who is married. Just what exactly is it you are assuming I'm "gloating" about.

Pretty sure Obama's kids are too young to be married anyway.

Are you Mrs. Tingles? - She is the one who

[ In Reply To ..]
said people were gloating.

I am Mrs. Tingles, but I ran out of room to write that - I wanted to make a statement in my post

When I used the word gloat it fit because that is what the poster was doing. There is nothing for me to gloat about, so the word doesn't work properly in the sentence.

Dont assume I dont know them - For all you know

I could've been bong bearer at the wedding.

That's gross. And what political content does - your post have

[ In Reply To ..]
The answer would be none.

Political content: - 1) John Boehner

[ In Reply To ..]
2) Legalization of marijuana.
Face it, if this were Pelosi or Harry Reid's kid, this would be the lead story on Fox.

don't assume - whaddyaknow

No wonder he's always in such a foul mood.

change his mind - stranger-things

Don't know about legalizing the wacky tabaccy but apparently he is on board with growing hemp :-)

I don't believe it's fair, in the political sense, to make fun of Boehner for his daughter's choices.

Further, I don't believe it's relevant, in the social sense, to make judgments about individuals who are found to have 2 grams of marijuana.

Plus don't forget that children are really supposed to be off limits - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
Doesn't matter what politician, they should ALL be off limits.

Evidently, some here don't like mixed marriages, yet will get behind legalizing marijuana and same-sex marriages, 'nough said.

What are you talking about, some don't like - mixed marriages?

[ In Reply To ..]
The talk is about the irony of his stance on pot and his new son-in-law having legal charges regarding pot. What does that have to do with mixed marriages?

Irony - and sense of humor

Excuse me? I DO love the hat and the dreads. - That's my post.

I wasn't being sarcastic when I said that, Truthhurts.

The giggle and snort were at the irony of the marijuana subject. I thought that was pretty obvious.

What does bong-bearer have to do with mixed - marriage?

???

It has to do with POT.

The only person who is making this - about mixed marriage is

[ In Reply To ..]
truthhurts. I am the OP and my post was about the irony of the staunch Boehner stand on marijuana and his new SIL. Wondered if the new SIL might change Boehner's mind. I have mixed marriage grandkids, and I certainly wasn't saying ANYTHING about mixed marriages.

I liked your post - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
until I opened it. I'm a lib who spoke up for Boehner here. I don't care for taking swipes at politicians because of family issues. That said, this thread has nothing to do with "mixed" marriages. Nuff said, I guess.

I hope the blowback to the GOP is like a death knell to the party. You don't try to score political points on the backs of those who are hurt in a partial shutdown - ordinary hardworking people from all party affiliations. I guess they thought this was THE ONLY way to get the president to negotiate, but I don't think that's true. It's because they tried to tie OBAMACARE to the vote - he was willing to negotiate anything else. Here is the unavoidable truth: NO ON ...

At least we won't have to try Boehner as a traitor then. That would just be mes ...

Boehner insists he wants to leave as scheduled at the end of October, but if Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., won't agree to replace him, it may take a while for a consensus to form around an alternative.

This institution cannot grind to a halt," Boehner told Republicans Friday morning in a closed-door session. "It is my hope — and indeed it is my plan — for this House to elect a new speaker ...

You know, the one from the Reagan and W eras that cost most of us bitterly while making a few very happy? Boehner also says he's willing to raise taxes and broaden the tax base (remember the no-tax-increase pledge almost all pubs had to sign?), so this is another good sign that we'll be able to pay some bills and speed up that economic recovery.
