Quick quiz: Speaker of the House John Boehner is puffing on a cigarette…

a) in his own back yard.

b) in Ohio or someplace like that.

c) in an airplane lavatory after invoking his Congressional Smoke Detector Disabling Privileges.

d) at a White House picnic.

You’re not going to believe this, but he is indeed at a White House family picnic, complete with foot-long hot dogs, a pie-throwing contest, and impressionable children.

“Look Sally, see that man over there, the orange-looking guy with smoke coming out of his nose and mouth? He’s the Speaker of the House!”

Given Boehner’s reputation for weeping at the drop of a hat, it brings to mind that classic Platters song.
