a Rob Roy. He's saturated with Rob Roys, hence the color.

13. And Ronald Reagan didn't dye his hair
but his barber used to "put something on it."

And Ronald Reagan didn't have cancer, but "there was something in me that had cancer, and it was taken out." (colon polyp, iirc)

So now the big question I see is: who is tanning the Boehner???

15. What, he's saying he did it using only walnut juice?
Sorry, Bonehead, if there's one thing you are a little light on, it's credibility.

25. Well, maybe he lightens it up with a touch of rouge?
Or maybe just mixes it with leftover orange juice from his morning screwdriver?

Republicans operate in mysterious ways........

17. Nothing to see here. Boehner is just practicing stand-up comedy.
Edited on Thu Sep-23-10 10:14 AM by political_Dem
After all, he might need another line of work in the near future.

18. He eats nothing but Cheetos.
That actually happened to my ex wife's little sister. She ate Cheetos so much that she turned orange (when she was a kid).

19. Um, then I hope he has discussed his complexion with his physician.
Because he is either:

1). Burning himself to a crisp and turning himself into a walking melanoma by laying out in the sun constantly.

2). Suffering from a serious disease such as Addison's or liver failure.

Bottom line, his skin color is not natural or normal.

38. I worked for a guy who always had a tan.
Actually, he had a pool at his house and spent a lot of time there, however, he always liked to joke that the bar he hung around had a skylight.
