Russert implies NYT's article about Boehner can't be so 'cause he came from such 'humble beginnings'

[flpoljunkie]

What a brown-noser! On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Luke Russert was given a tour of the old Boehner family home and talked about how John Boeher was one of 12 children raised in a Catholic family--who, because he worked so hard putting himself through Xaxier in seven years, believes in self-reliance...blah, blah, blah...

That's right because he came from such 'humble beginnings' he cannot be the lobbyist tool he is (famous for handing out tobacco company lobbyist checks on the House floor in 1996).

He (Boehner) maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R. J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.

They have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaigns, provided him with rides on their corporate jets, socialized with him at luxury golf resorts and waterfront bashes and are now leading fund-raising efforts for his Boehner for Speaker campaign, which is soliciting checks of up to $37,800 each, the maximum allowed.
