John Boehner doesn't remember how he spent his summer vacation

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Boehner forgets his golfing vacation, says he was at GOP drilling protest 'each and every day.'

Last month, House conservatives engaged in a political stunt in the Capitol, demanding a vote on oil drilling while Congress was adjourned for recess. Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), however, was absent for part of the protest, squeezing in a couple of rounds of golf in Ohio while his colleagues were in Washington. Speaking today on the floor, Boehner claimed he was there "each and every day":

Well, Mr. Speaker, let me say welcome to my Democratic colleagues. Welcome to the House. …

While you all were out, I and my Republican colleagues were here each and every day

with the lights dimmed, the microphones off, no one in the chair, the cameras off, talking to visitors who were coming through the Capitol about our plan to produce all of the above.

lol.. just saw this link from another thread.

You think Republicans were genuinely outraged? Maybe at not getting a fatter check or a mulligan for their crappy drives. Boehner probably hits from the lady's tee-off area anyways.
