from DailyKos:


It was Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) who told abstinence education advocate Rep. Mark Souder (R-IN) that he had to resign from Congress after having an affair with a staffer. It was also Boehner that told members of his caucus that they had to stop using the "party house" to entertain young Republican female lobbyists.


While everyone knows that John Boehner enjoys the good life of luxury travel and golf junkets, many are convinced that enjoys a mistress, too.


I began hearing this from several sources last month with increasing amounts of detail, including the name of the lobbyists Boehner is supposedly having a relationship with - Lisbeth Lyons, Vice President for Government Affairs for the American Printers Association.


Mike Stark's diary :: ::


I decided I’d look into the story, but I hadn’t decided how to pose the question directly to Boehner. Last night, I learned the location of the House Republican Leadership’s "Pledge to America," event.

I was able to catch up with Boehner just as he was leaving the event. His silence (which does not equal an admission, of course) in the face of the repeated question does not, it seem to me, to be one you’d expect from a happily married man confronted with an accusation of being unfaithful. Note the complete lack of outrage at being asked about allegations that are unfounded or untrue. There wasn’t even a simple "no," to put the issue to rest.

Here’s the video. You be the judge of his response:

6. I can't wait to see it! This time, I hope they have the woman

that he is involved with, plastered over all TV networks for 2 weeks before the election.

Maybe they can find a few dozen OTHER Republican candidates or incumbents, and one or two Dems who aren't running for election to throw into the story...all with past extra-marital affairs in their resume.

Of course, that might backfire and get the supporters of Christine O'Donnell out in droves in Del.

But we can indict her for election campaign fraud before January.
