Will John Boehner Sex Scandal Bring Him Down?

Boehner has been involved in extramarital affairs with at least two women, according to a new report in the National Enquirer. We don't normally cite supermarket tabloids as primary source material. But the Enquirer was first to write about the John Edwards' infidelity, and the newspaper proved to be right on target. And back in the early '90s, the mainstream press picked up on the Bill Clinton/Gennifer Flowers story after it broke in a tabloid.

In Boehner's case, the Enquirer gets into specifics--and that gives the story a ring of truth:

Capitol Hill insiders and political bloggers have been buzzing about an upcoming New York Times probe--detailing an alleged affair that the 61-year-old married father of two had with pretty Washington lobbyist LISBETH LYONS."

    My god. The GOP has a hatrick on house leadership scumbags

    This is Amazing.

    This is an amazing run of GOP house leadership that are either criminals or have a serious ethics problem.

    Tom Delay sentenced for 3 years. Newt Gingrich Charged with ethics violations and disiplined by the house and forced to resign as speaker and give up his seat. Now Boehner.

    Why might want to or might want to favor to it? Crucifying human beings for his or her sex existence has with suggestions from no means been the left wing's motivation. At worst that is going to probably be the placement remember of a few comedy routines and ammunition for the Democrats to call hypocrite on the Republicans.

    Why would or should it? Crucifying people for their sex life has never been the left wing's motivation.

    At worst it will be the topic of some comedy routines and ammunition for the Democrats to call hypocrite on the Republicans.

    Of course not. The political class has their own set of laws.
