Boner’s PAC spent over $30,000 on a Florida golf outing with lobbyists.


Fore!
Thinkprogress:

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), an avid lover of golf, has repeatedly used the golf course for fundraising purposes. Unlike the imprisoned former lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who famously used golf as “bait…to lure Republican politicians into his realm,” Boehner has repeatedly used golf as a means of giving lobbyists some face-time with him while raising money for House Republicans in the process.
The Washington Post’s Mary Ann Akers reports Wednesday that Boehner’s PAC, Freedom Project, “spent a total of $31,474.11 on a golf fundraiser for friends, lobbyists and anyone else who wanted intimate tee time with the House’s top Republican” at the Ritz Carlton in Naples, FL last February, raising nearly a quarter million dollars for GOP candidates.

Ok we know Boner is an idiot and freeloader. He just needs to keep living of the taxpayers and parting. Notice how Debbie Gunlack Boehner is missing in action as many other Law Makers wives. Boehner does have the hots for Nancy who is drunk herself. Mrs. Cantor saw her husband running after Britney Spears and that private meeting so she quickly made Eric come home. Yes Mrs. Cantor then attended the Obama dinner with Eric to keep him in check. Todd was watched while in New York and Sarah is looking for a sugar daddy.
