...
Despite Boehner's year-round tan and ties to the industry, Milne told the Daily Caller that there is not a tanning bed in the Speaker's apartment.

"There is not nor has there ever been a tanning bed in the residence!" he said.

9. So Cheetos whined he was being discrimnated against, having to pay taxes to get color for bucks?

Or crying because he was afraid of Madame Speaker?

Either way, it looks like Cheetso is still gonna get some goodies from his masters.

The true color of the GOP isn't bronze skin, it's greenbacks.

14. Question: How is this NOT an ethics violation at least, if not a felony or misdemeanor? I

I mean, really. How? They all are just so cozy about it, just so nonchalant and casual about it. This is the kind of stuff that just hurts my head. We need an absolute overhaul of government at this point, I really don't think that an election is gonna do it. I know I have brought this up before, and got shot down, but I really think a few constitutional amendments are in order.
