Ney on John Boner; He was a chain- smoking, relentless wine drinker who was more interested .....
... in the high life — golf, women, cigarettes, fun, and alcohol.”
<In Ney’s “Sideswiped: Lessons Learned Courtesy of the Hit Men of Capitol Hill,” Boehner
is portrayed as more concerned about fundraising and fun than governing. “Many felt his
money-raising focus would make up for his lack of concern about legislation — he was
considered a man who was all about winning and money,” writes Ney. “He was a chain-
smoking, relentless wine drinker who was more interested in the high life — golf, women,
cigarettes, fun, and alcohol.”
Ney goes on to say that Boehner was lazy, took thousands of dollars in booze, food and
golf games from lobbyists, and repeatedly slid around ethics rules: “John got away with
more than any other member on the Hill” because he was well-liked and well-protected
by his staff.>
