Does John Boehner Have A Tanning Addiction?

3:06 pm EST August 8th, 2010 | Republicans | 26 Comments

I honestly tend to refrain from making quips about the physical attributes of politicians, because what they believe is far more dangerous. That said, holy cow, why is John Boehner making himself so orange? He’s past Oompah Loompah at this stage!

John Boehner

I think the minority leader has an addiction to tanning. Granted with the new tanning tax, you could argue that there’s a stimulative effect…

    He thinks he’ll be raptured before getting skin cancer

  2. durablend says:

    He’s just getting ready for his afterlife “down under”

  3. Burn says:

    Toxic orange is a color that suits him well.

  4. Henry says:

    I like how we’re supposed to believe that it’s pronounced ‘bay-nur’. Sure thing, John.

  5. jeffk says:

    The fake tank really jumped out for me when I saw that picture. Now that *could* be because I was looking at a “worst fake tans” page, but probably not. He looks even more abnormal than usual. Must be going for the “Jersey Shore” vote.

    Code Orange.

    High Alert, the country’s in danger!

  8. Dennis says:

    Judge him by the content of his character, not the color of his skin.

    Guy plays a lot golf and it’s been a scorcher of a summer. No big deal you’re obsessed with skin color, which you guys obviously are.

  9. Todd B. says:

    Content of his character? I’m not so sure that’s any better. It’s just as fake as his tan.

    Maybe we can judge him on the fact that he cares more for the rich then he does the working class? Or the fact that he’s fine with letting people die because they don’t have access to medical care? Or the fact that he has no problems bombing two sovereign nations that posed no threat to the US?

    Ah yes, here’s Denise on cue to play “LOOK OVER THERE”-slash-the race card

  11. Marco says:

    But Orange Julius is this color year round.

  12. Repack Rider says:

    Has anyone considered liver disease as the cause?

  13. The Dark Avenger says:

    Nah, his eyeballs aren’t yellow, but for other reasons I wouldn’t be surprised to find him full of bile…………

  14. White Whale says:

    “Guy plays a lot golf and it’s been a scorcher of a summer.”- apparently he plays too much golf.

    He could be working but I guess progressives are just hung on race huh Dennis?

    No. He looks like a fucking Cheetoh. Shit is FUNNY. You’re in third grade — you should be right on board with this kind of thing.

  16. Allen says:

    The GOP is the only organization that puts the mentally ill in positions of leadership.

  17. Frank Chow says:

    Perhaps he is trying to sell himself as the “minority” leader…

  18. Jamey says:

    Guy spends 119 days a year on the links. Cut him a break…

  19. Jamey says:

    Content of his character, Dennis? He plays golf 1/3 of the year while he SHOULD be on the job.

    If I were judge Boehner by the content of his character:

    I’d have very little on which to judge him
    and
    He’s a douche.

  20. Johnny Pez says:

    I think this will turn out to be one of those deals where conservatives try to appropriate the language of liberals. Just as Sarah Palin is trying to claim that she’s the real feminist, so John Boehner is trying to claim that he’s the real Great Orange Satan.

  21. jamie says:

    Never trust a sun burnt congress critter

  22. Repack Rider says:

    I’m happy enough to judge him by the content of his character.

    He’s a whore, a sellout, a sociopath, he is corrupt and pure evil.

    So much for character. Now for the cartoon. Isn’t it funny that a whore is orange? Do you think it’s possible that the chemicals he takes to be that color might have side effects, like an inability to turn down a round of golf? If he were an action figure, what would they call him? DayGlo Boy? Does he get to park in a seven handicap space at the golf club?

  23. sqeptiq says:

    Maybe he’s hoping to be the first person of color to become House Speaker.

  24. Badtux says:

    For shame! You of all people should not be making fun of people of color about their color, even if it *is* a color that does not exist in nature!

  25. I'm a Hick says:

    Badtux!

  26. Repack Rider says:

    You ever wonder what kind of nickname the other kids called Boehner in gym class when he took a free throw or stood in at the plate?

    No wonder he took up golf. No one gets to yell, “Stroke it and choke it, Boner!” while you line up a putt or hit a drive.

    It even explains why he hates everyone all the time unless paid not to. We’re not named Boehner.
