If Boehner becomes Speaker will the lobbyist checks be handed out before or after a vote on the House floor?
"...business as usual for Mr. Boehner, the House minority leader and would-be speaker if Republicans win the House in November. He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R. J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.
They have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns over the years, provided him rides on their corporate jets, socialized with him at luxury golf resorts and waterfront bashes and are now leading fund-raising efforts for his Boehner for Speaker campaign, which is soliciting checks of up to $37,800 each, the maximum allowed....
...Mr. Boehner won some of his first national headlines back in 1996 after he was caught handing out checks from tobacco lobbyists to fellow Republicans on the House floor. Then the fourth-ranking House Republican, Mr. Boehner said he had broken no rules and was simply assisting his lobbyist friends, who were contributing to other Republicans’ campaigns.."
So...he will be looking out for all Americans if he is elected Speaker....right? :)
Will he demand a ride on a corporate jet over to Capital Hill?

They are going to direct deposit. If Boehner has any questions he can call Gingrich or Delay for tips. Jack Abramoff should be out of the halfway house by then, for those nice golf trips to Scotland.

Boehner replaced DeLay as Speaker, he learned it from the master...you can bet that Boehner will be discreet with his ill gotten gain from big business....the losers in the travesty of justice is the American people. Why would the people of Ohio, re-elect someone who has publicly said he was working against the current administration? Boehner is a ring leader of the Party of NO....definitely what is NOT needed in any elected office.

And I'm sure the insurance companies will be offering to bump him up to first in line for a free liver transplant. His skin is a hideous color.

I think that it will cash as usual, on one of the 45 trips he took on one companies private jet.
It's legal of course as long as his office remits an economy class ticket fare to the company.
