Folks, I was on the floor laughing at this. Bad karma for Boner. Hat tip to the White House website and CNN for doing their fact check on the stimulus money in Boner's district and catching Boner in a flat out lie.

As Seen on CNN…Republican Recovery Act Claims Disputed
Politifact.org: "There Are Just a Lot of Claims That Are Being Made without A Lot of Attention to the Facts"
Last week, CNN ran a piece challenging John Boehner's comments that no federally funded economic recovery projects have started in his state of Ohio. The segment also included a Republican sheriff from Boehner's own district who two months ago received nearly $1 million in economic recovery funds and is using the money to keep correctional officers on staff. According to Sheriff Richard Jones, "The stimulus is working for me here in Butler County because I am keeping my deputies and I am not having to lay them off."
