NY Times Expose !!! **John Boehner affair with Lisbeth Lyons**

[kentuck]

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/24/john-boehner-affair-lisbeth-lyons_n_738007.html

<snip>
Mike Stark, an activist and DailyKos blogger, intercepted Leader Boehner after his highly publicized "Pledge to America" unveiling to ask him about the accusation:

"Speaker Boehner, have you been cheating with Lisbeth Lyons, the lobbyist for the American Printing Association?" Stark asks. Boehner did not respond.

Stark later contacted Lyons, the Vice President of Government Affairs at Printing Industries of America, to get a comment on the allegations. She didn't provide any.

The New York Post has since caught up with Lyons, who said the rumors were "unfounded."

"As you can imagine, I was stunned by such a question," Lyons told the Post. "I found it to be highly insulting, particularly as a female political professional, as well as unfounded. Beyond that, I have no further comment on the matter."

[heirique]

[happygoluckytoyou]

118. VERDICT: He's LYON... and she got the BONER.... case closed

[Orsino]

128. Get your fill now.

The TV usually makes GOP scandal dissipate quickly.

[marmar]

2. Wow. What a verbose non-answer from Lyons.

nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

39. love behind the photocopier and shredder?

[intaglio]

97. No, no on top of the photocopier,

it's how he tops up his tan ;3

[Rosa Luxemburg]

130. so that's how!

[Gormy Cuss]

87. Lobbyists are good at that.

No surprise there.

[bluestateguy]

3. I hope the NYT has their shit together

Beucase if they fuck this up there will be a backlash that makes Boehner out to be the "victin"

No time fort spellcheck.

[CJCRANE]

60. Exactly. Just like their non-story

about McCain's alleged affair.

[babylonsister]

4. Another rethug screwing around? Say it isn't SO! I bet Cantor is

salivating. And I wonder if the NYT timed this release. :think:

[Bravo Zulu]

32. cantor "You orange pervert,

I'm going to knock you out of the leadership and take over!"

[HughBeaumont]

49. Rock-em, Sock-em NO-bots?

[11 Bravo]

74. Et tu, Eric?

[DFW]

79. Hell, Cantor probably leaked it

That way, he can take Bonehead's place, either as minority leader or (God forbid) as Speaker.

[gateley]

96. Ha! You're right about Cantor! Hope it's true (forgive me Father, but I do!) nt

[blondeatlast]

6. Boehner stands up for marriage and family values!

While petting a Lyons.

[11 Bravo]

7. Orange and lily white. By God, I think we've got a Creamsicle here!

[blondeatlast]

11. Get a load of her creepy FB photo:

[JuniperLea]

17. Looks like The Joker meets Runaway Bride!

EW... just the thought of someone doing the nasty with the Big Orange Boner really makes me ill... ew.

[Bravo Zulu]

33. Some people will do anything,

for money!

[JuniperLea]

35. Whores...

EW... I think I'd have to starve. I'm no prude, and no saint... but The Great Orange Boner is, from my POV, getting way into freakish monster territory!

[NBachers]

76. Some people were even attracted to Spiro Agnew

So whatever happened to America's favorite pot-smoking defiant teenybopper-of-the-moment Kim Agnew, anyway?

[formercia]

122. She must not have a gag reflex.

I wonder if her tongue is stained orange.

[formercia]

124. Boner, the Official Baked Ham of the GOP. n/t

[gateley]

99. Cheaper than having it professionally airbrushed. nt

[MrMickeysMom]

112. Why... she looks as if she could use some color!

What goes with ORANGE?

[IDemo]

50. Paging Swamp Rat...

[Guilded Lilly]

72. had to laugh, how rude of me (grin) (n/t)

[Rozlee]

91. Dude !

:rofl:

[JuniperLea]

8. It will be fun to compare and contrast this statement...

With the irrefutable truth once it's all out there... oh, please make it so! I do believe! I do believe!

:rofl:

[blondeatlast]

23. Won't it though? Things like this make politics tolerable and hell,

downright fun!

[JuniperLea]

24. And we deserve the hilarious outlet!

That asshat has made our lives miserable for such a long time... even if this isn't true, he deserves the razzing!

I'm betting it's true... oh please! Please, please, please let it be true!

:rofl:

[sufrommich]

9. I have no sympathy for " do as I say, not as I do" Boehner,

but I don't like the idea of bandying this womans name around until I see some proof. So far, she's denied it.

[VermeerLives]

12. There should always be proof

regardless of who's involved. Otherwise, it's salacious gossip. Don't we want to be above that?

[JuniperLea]

19. No... this thread is hardly serious...

If it turns out not to be true, you'll be invited to the mourning party.

[blondeatlast]

20. No, I really don't. If we can't have fun at the expense of those who

control our lives, then I give up, because without it, living in this county would be intolerable.

[JuniperLea]

22. +1!

[tavalon]

120. Salacious gossip sells

BTW, kudos on using Salacious in a sentence!

We're just playing with a mouse here. If it isn't true, we've had a little fun, if it is, it's just an advance on the schadenfreude.

[mitchum]

13. C'mon, she's a lobbyist, it's not as if she has any dignity to lose

[glitch]

44. !

:spray:

[daleanime]

73. ......

:rofl:

[tavalon]

121. Oh no, that's the moneyshot, right there!

[Orsino]

129. Yeah, but what about Boehner?

He's a Republican member of the US Congre....uh, never mind.

[mitchum]

14. C'mon, she's a lobbyist, it's not as if she has any dignity to lose

[Bozita]

10. We need photos. The value of this thread doubles with photos.

[blondeatlast]

21. How about her creepy FB photo?

Thanks to DUer blogslut for the tip:



No joke--that's her profile photo. Check it out.

[lumberjack_jeff]

51. You'd think the american printing association would know what "halftone" is.

Maybe she simply needed a color infusion. :shrug:

[flamingdem]

58. hah! nt

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

15. American Printing Association??

So he was cheating on the Phillip Morris tobacco lobbyist that he usually sleeps with?

[SteveM]

89. Yeah, but those aren't ink stains you see. nt

[davidwparker]

115. cool handle ... also, Ben David

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. I'm getting a Boehner just thinking of a RW scandal brewing.

[blondeatlast]

18. Boehner stands up for marriage and family values!

Yours, that is, not his.

[KoKo]

25. Good Catch...Who woulda thunk that "The Tan Man" might have something goin on...on the side..

Interesting.

He always looked a little "too full of himself." And, most of the Repugs who despise "Family Values" but deceive their Supporters with their SWILL...seem to always have at least one or more skeletons in that closet.. Sometimes they all fall out...but one at a time is enough for a little scandal.

Sad thing is that there's no real sense of morality or ethics on the Right...it's all fake and spin to them. And, their corrupt supporters probably have the same skeletons in closet so THEY CHEER THEM ON...BOTH THE MALES AND THE FEMALES!

Ever see those HOOTER and TOY GIRL/NUDE BABES BILL BOARDS in the so-called "BIBLE BELT STATES" when you are travelling through?

"JERSEY SHORE" might be kinda SEEDY AND RAUNCHY...but WHEN I LIVED IN NJ/NY/CT....I never saw a BILLBOARD on any of the ROADS advertising "GIRLS FOR HIRE...GET YOUR HOT BABES HERE at the NEXT ROADSTOP" kind of BILL BOARDS...ANYWERE!

HYPOCRACY! IT'S THE RIGHT WHO LOVE IT...AND WHO LIVE IT...EVERY DAY!

[jannyk]

27. What a Gift!!! nt

:bounce:

[True_Blue]

28. Boehner in bed with a lobbyist?

Who would have guessed? :shrug:

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

29. Wait. What? This ISN'T a metaphor for something?

:rofl:

[tavalon]

123. Well, if it isn't, it should be!

[SpiralHawk]

31. Yet another example of Republicon Family Values?

At least it seems there are no diapers or wide stance faux lesbian b&d rentboy luggage handlers in this one -- yet.

[spanone]

36. if it turns out to be true, this will be soooo sweet to watch this arrogant prick fall

[quakerboy]

111. I wish it were so easy

IOIYAR

[pintobean]

37. Has she been checked for orange hand prints?

[flamingdem]

59. Crap! Does he shed? nt

[icnorth]

84. No evidence so far...

John says he is adheres to that old republican family values motto: "You can't beat our meat but you can squeeze our buns." :popcorn:

[steelyboo]

107. Exactly, It would be easy to confirm

Just look for the smears of that "Chernobyl No. 238: Sassy Orange" Self-Tanning Lotion he bathes in around her pelvis.

[stevedeshazer]

38. New name for Agent Orange: Cheeto

[pintobean]

42. It aint easy

being cheesy

[Canuckistanian]

40. Wow, the NYT decided to run with it

They wouldn't run a negative story on a powerful Repub without proof. They must have more than one source.

Otherwise they're taking a risk.

I just realized - Mike Stark the "Hannity Sucks Ass" guy?


Awesome!

[BlueCheese]

41. I don't see anything on the NYT site.

Am I missing something?

[kentuck]

45. from the link:

<snip>
House Minority Leader John Boehner was asked by a DailyKos blogger Thursday to answer questions about an affair with a lobbyist, an allegation that will reportedly be the focus of an upcoming New York Times expose. Boehner ignored the question outright.

The Post sees a journalistic plot to drop a bombshell on the upcoming midterm elections by smearing a high-profile GOP leader:

[rug]

43. Maybe he was looking for a color correction.

[rurallib]

46. On the plus side for repugs - at least it is a woman.

could have been so many other things (human - animal hybrid maybe). They can hang their hats on that bit of good news.

[louis-t]

81. Repugs will spin it into "He's a MAN'S man."

[Moosepoop]

105. Could have been a mouse

with a human brain. :D

[Ramulux]

48. Please be true

I have got my fingers crossed. I'm thinking the NYT wouldn't run this story without some kind of proof.

[Bravo Zulu]

52. boner might wish he had just kept masturbating,

oh wait...!!!

[B Calm]

53. A lobbyist = WHORE

[Contrary1]

54. "According to the latest reports, NYT denied it had plans to run a story...

on John Boehner and Lisbeth Lyons"

This according to WisePolitics. Don't know if this is a Right Wingnut site or not.

[kentuck]

55. This story seems to originate with the NY Post...

Who owns the Post? And why would they spread such a rumor if not true??

[Contrary1]

56. Can't answer that...

Usually when there's this much smoke, there's a fire. I hope it is true. If it turns out to be unfounded, the Democrats will be blamed, no matter who is responsible.

[kentuck]

57. Perhaps that is the idea?

Why is the Post blaming the Times??

<snip>
Insiders on Capitol Hill are buzzing about an upcoming New York Times exposé that will detail an alleged Boehner affair. Sources say the Times is looking for the right time to drop the story in October to sway the election, similar to how the Times reported during the 2008 presidential campaign on an alleged John McCain affair that supposedly had taken place many years before and that was flatly denied by the woman in question.

[gateley]

98. Hope it doesn't fall flat like the McCain story. Is this supposed to be current

or in the past? The "many years before" affairs don't have the punch needed to really sock it to him.

NYT (I read upthread) is denying they have plans to run any such story, damn it!

[old mark]

61. But he's a republican! How can this be true? Obviously a planted story by the

socialist Democrats out to steal America...

:rofl:

:kick:

mark

[DCBob]

62. Wow. the perfect scandal...

with perfect timing!

[geek_sabre]

63. This isn't 2006 or 2008

This won't cost any votes. Their priority in voting is to get democrats out and shrink the government. Family values are on the back burner, as can be seen from near unanimous support/obsession for social moderates like Christie.

Even if this is true, and he admits it, if he's committed to his so-called Pledge for America, his voters are going to turn out. Lets not kid ourselves, their turnout will be big across the board. If we lose the house, and Boehner is denied for Speaker, someone else will gladly step up (Bachmann, perhaps). What is the net gain for our side then? Why attack him, when we should be defending our seats?

And even if it is true, I agree with some posters upstream that said that it is irresponsible to put this woman's name out there without any kind of proof. So she's on the other side of the aisle, and she has a questionable (but legal) profession. This blogger put her career, reputation and future employment in jeopardy based on a rumor. Hope he's equipped for a potential lawsuit.

[DCBob]

64. Its starting to feel like 2006.. lots GOPer scandals in the news..

Depending how this plays I suspect it could be major. We will see.

[bvar22]

65. Oh NOoooo!

The gays destroyed Boner's marriage.
Only a matter of time with "those people" getting married an all.
The Defense of Marriage people told us this would happen.

[Kablooie]

66. At least it's not with Lisbeth Salander

[Connie_Corleone]

67. +1

[PCIntern]

90. Can you imagine what she'd tattoo onto his body?

"I'm an orange pervert and rapist."

[Iggo]

68. Is it October already?

[veganlush]

69. Is the Boehner even married? ...n/t

[Rozlee]

93. He got married in 1973. His wife's name is Debbie.

:(

[DirtyDawg]

70. Found it interesting...

...that the other day he, or his office, claimed that he had never used a tanning bed or tanning products. The interesting part is that nobody immediately chimed in with a 'So it is the booze after all' - drunken SOB (no offense to other drunks or SOBs)

[anachro1]

71. Keep an eye out

for all the women who have ugly orange-brown smudge stains all over their faces.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

75. The Orange Blossom Special.

:smoke:

[Hepburn]

77. Photo

[geckosfeet]

78. Surprised to see The Post getting in on this. But they are only giving the rebuttal.

In general I consider the Post a bastion of lunatic fringe droppings. But if they want to keep the rumor mill grinding away at the bastard I will support them.

[WinkyDink]

80. If only Lyons were as honest as Lewinsky. Need photos, or the Republicans win.

[rucky]

92. Check her clothes for orange stains. n/t

[liberal N proud]

109. Lewinsky honest?

:spray: :rofl:

[gauguin57]

82. That guy has had mid-life crisis written all over him for years. That fake bake of his!

Who, me? Never!

[earcandle]

83. Touche Ole!

[ooglymoogly]

85. Give it up for the Cheeeeesy Doodle. nt

[xchrom]

86. doodle -- oh! gack! ew! nt

[husky92]

88. It's the Tan, Man!

Hey, this babe probably likes rolling around in the sack with all his tanning oil on as well as a few other oils.

This comes as no surprise to me. That guy looks like a chaser. Hope they nail his arrogant ass.

[Myrina]

94. Dear Goddess, who would shag him ?!?!?

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[NewJeffCT]

104. Maybe she has a thing for Tigger or Garfield

or some other orange character, and Boehner is the closest thing to that? Or cheese doodles or fritos?

ok, that's a stretch.

I got nothing.

[Guilded Lilly]

95. Other than the very thought of this making me ill...

VERY ill (shudderrrr) I doubt this will sway any votes over to the Democrats. A heterosexual affair would make the Republicans proud of their candidate.

Republican candidates are immune to heterosexual affairs, pathological lying, homosexual affairs, Constitutional criminal activity, cheating, campaign fraud, misuse of funds, stomping on their fellow citizens and any other moral repugnancy.

Having a moral conscience and behavioral/professional accountability have no value to Republicans.

[tavalon]

126. Yep, the only things that seem to bring them down

are dead girls or live boys, and even that isn't always enough (Just a little call out to Joe Scarborough!).

[Motown_Johnny]

100. She is "Vice President of Government Affairs"?

I wonder who the President is doing?

[NewJeffCT]

103. A little over 2 years ago, the NY Times accused McCain of similar

and nothing ever came out of it. That was also an affair with a lobbyist.

[theothersnippywshrub]

106. Lisbeth Lyons? I thought this woman was his mistress.

[LawnKorn]

108. K&R

[HipChick]

110. move along..nothing to see here...

just more Republican hypocripsy at work..

[davidwparker]

114. Another one went "hiking the Appalachian trail"

[KoKo]

117. LOL's ...Can't wait to see how this one plays out...!

[Yavin4]

125. Which Begs The Question

Is Boehner the same color....all over??

[CLANG]

127. I love the smell of scandal in the morning...

[bertman]

131. If Agent Orange actually was boehning Ms. Lyons, does that mean she will be

eligible for government disability benefits if she suffers side effects?
