John Boehner won’t say whether he talked to Chris Lee
Source: Politico

House Speaker John Boehner said Rep. Chris Lee made the right decision to leave Congress following a report that the New York Republican had sent a suggestive photo to a woman he contacted on the Internet.

But Boehner wouldn’t say whether he had spoken to Lee and had urged him to step aside, stating that his private consultations with scandal-plagued members will remain private.
...
Boehner drew laughs from reporters when he was asked why sex scandals continue to occur on a regular basis in Washington.

“I wouldn’t know,” Boehner deadpanned.

I continue to remain amazed that The Orange Boner could be involved in a sex scandal.

Him? Really? The Tan Man? Really?

6. There's one thing unfortunately missing in the Boehner scandal - evidence
So I'm guessing he just called Chris Lee a "damn fool" and kicked him out of his office.

9. Ridiculous
Edited on Thu Feb-10-11 08:47 PM by Nossida
Rep. Chris Lee did the absolute 'wrong' thing stepping down.
Sex 'scandals' involving consenting adults are Witch Hunts.
Are we living in the Middle Ages?

Did Chris Lee get elected for Vestal Virgin, or Congress?

Its as if Politicians are expected to be Spayed and Neutered
at the door of the Congress House. Does this indicate the
Speaker would resign if found in a similar situation?

10. The witch hunt hardly got going...
because the spineless congressman folded like a cheap lawn chair.

He should have stood up and defended himself against the baseless 'accusation'. The public was cheated out of a good 'sex scandal'.

The Speaker of the House has spine, he would fight even if a 3D video surfaced, it its splendid glory; he's tough that way.
