Open Mic Catches John Boehner Bragging To Biden About Golf Game Before Obama’s Jobs Speech

Video from just before Obama's speech last month.

Boehner - “Hey, I’m one of those barbarians.”

“You are,” Joe Biden agreed, lauging. “We’re at the gate.”

Boehner - “I was playing golf in August.  Seven birdies, five bogies. I shoot two under. So, we have lunch, sitting around for about an hour and and I thought, ‘Why don’t we play nine more holes?’  Six pars, three birdies and I missed a four-foot, birdie on the last hole."

Boehner - “Oh, so the next day, I go to Sandhills, I shoot a 86.  One day I play great, the next day I play awful. But this is the round of the decade. I haven’t done this for 12 years. I shot a 67 one time.”

2 professional liars. Rep. Liar (R) and VP Liar (D)

Voting with a rifle is the only effective method.

Dear NSA and Secret Service,
The voting part is humor. The Liar part is true.

Played with Boehner (I live in cincy area). No f'n way does he have 10 birdies in 27 holes. No f'n way...but he is a grit/redneck from Reading, OH and grits are known to puff about their athletic exploits, to say the least (e.g., I once had 10 (really 2) birdies in 27 holes...)

They also look like they called each other before the speech to wear matching ties.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis says Mayor Rahm Emanuel “exploded” at her during a conversation in his office about his signature longer-school-day effort, pointing his finger at her, yelling and telling her, “F--- you, Lewis.”

“I just want to call it immense disrespect for me and the Chicago Teachers Union,’’ Lewis told the Chicago Sun-Times Friday. “I didn’t appreciate the way he talked to me.

“My father never talked to me like that. My husband’s never talked to me like that.”

The behind-the-curtain intensity of the battle was evident Friday, as Lewis described her meeting with Emanuel in the mayor’s office a few weeks ago. Sitting next to her in a chair in front of his desk, the mayor talked about adding 90 minutes to the school day, saying “I can’t have kids on the street at 2:15,” Lewis recalled.

“I called out what he was doing had nothing to do with education,’’ Lewis said. She said she told him, “So this is not about education. This is about safety. ... This is babysitting and warehousing.”

At that point, the “craziness” began, Lewis said.

“He [Emanuel] got up out of his chair and started cussing at me.” Pressed for the language, Lewis said the mayor told her, “F--- you, Lewis” and dropped other “f-bombs.”

typical politicians, the taxpayer is starving and they are playing golf. At least they have their priorities straight.

[Cheyenne]

Thanks for the dope, Josie. Boehner is full of shit about pretty much everything, I guess, including his own golf game. I shouldn't have expected more.

Rahm Emanuel bought the election here in Chicago for $11MM. His nearest competitor, Gery Chico, had $2.7MM.

When Rahm the Democrat was in Congress, he got more campaign contributions from hedge funds than the top 10 Republican congressmen COMBINED.

If you still think the red Republican puppet and the blue Democrat puppet are engaged in anything other sell-satisfying fornication for a 3rd-rate cable access show, you really need to wake the fuck up.
