NE quotes StarkReports.com regarding allegations he's fooled around with lobbyist (she's great at her job!) Lisbeth Lyons, but Lyons herself would only say:

"I do not want to have a discussion about John Boehner. I have no comment."

The story also includes reports of Boehner hooking up with congressional press sec Leigh LaMora:

"...The Enquirer learned that Deborah was nowhere to be seen where the ruggedly handsome [sic] congressman attended a casino party at the home of a D.C. lobbyist in August 1997—and reportedly hooked up with pretty congressional secretary Leigh LaMora."

Apparently, Boehner and LaMora were at a party and sought out a bedroom, where they stumbled upon another couple who'd beaten them to the punch.

Obviously we have to consider the source for being both notorious, and breaking the John Edwards scandal as well.

Stories about affairs aren't even worth discussing. That's why I hate shows like Oprah and "Biggest Loser"....stuff isn't even worthy of making the news.

and frankly, I don't give a damn...

Yawn... unless he's one of the "moral majority" or "family values" types, really don't care. (And even if he is, if he's like most pols, it would be just one more instance of hypocrisy among many.)

I wonder what peeps would have thought if Pelosi was banging lobbyists for solar panels.


I'm sure people would've just yawned it off....

Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) who told abstinence education advocate Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) that he had to resign from Congress after having an affair with a staffer

John Boehner moved fast against Mark Souder - John Bresnahan - POLITICO.com

Souder spoke to Boehner personally on Monday. During that discussion, Boehner advised Souder to resign immediately, the sources said. Boehner also sent a letter to the House ethics committee informing the panel of his conversation with Souder, a GOP leadership aide said.

Lobbyist does make it worse, yes.

But generally I don't care about pols' affairs. Like I said, I view it as worse when they have played the holier than thou card as part of their campaigning, but then it's just another instance of lying and hypocrisy, which I now expect from politicians.

chicowalker

This does make it a bit more interesting.

Are you implying that Boehner -- IF any of this true -- might think differently when it's his own actions?

LiveLeak.com - Boehner Hands Out Lobbyist Checks on House floor for subsidy vote

This is the same dude that passed out checks from the tobacco lobby on the house floor....He is about a sleazy as it gets. I would put nothing past him.

If I heard Boener raped a puppy, it wouldn't surprise me.

Real World

$1 million says he wouldn't resign if this is true.

The NE earned some street cred with John "the Fraud" Edwards, so who knows here. If there is more to it as the weeks and months roll along, then they might really have soemthing.
