Asked whether he would agree to what Obama has jokingly called a “slurpee summit,” Boehner replied, “I don’t know about a slurpee. How about a glass of merlot?”
And Boehner claims Obama is the one in denial?

Boehner’s infamous “HELL NO WE CAN’T!” healthcare speech. Things get volatile around the 1-minute mark.
Interestingly, when MSNBC’s coverage went back to the anchor desk following this passionate speech, the first thing anyone said corroborated any suspicions of Boehner’s sobriety. Conservative-ish reporter Bob Franken, formerly of CNN, said something like it appeared Boehner had had an extra drink before the speech.
“Listen, I don’t have much of a life, but I have a little. And that little bit of life I have — I like to cut my own grass, wash and iron my own shirts, drink some red wine, smoke a few cigarettes from time to time, play golf,” he said. “And frankly, I’m not willing to give up that little bit of life that I have for some job I don’t need.” – John Boehner
John Boehner’s liquid courage infused charm is working. Case in point, Democrat Bill Owens (NY-23) is indicating he may jump ship and leave his longtime girlfriend Nancy Pelosi and move in with John Boehner, by supporting the incoming Minority Leader for Speaker of the House.
Well, it turns out Owens himself may have been riding a little high on the false confidence of a few too many, now backing off of his initial comments indicating that he was merely “…blowing off a little steam because [he] was agitated that neither one of them had responded to [him]…”
There’s one the thing for certain: alcohol = drama.
Everyone knows Boehner throws the best parties.

C-SPAN viewers who tuned in to watch the late-running House votes at around 6:30 p.m. were treated to an odd sight. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) insisted that the clerk read an unusually long 55-page motion to recommit aloud — a process that took an excruciating 40 minutes, halting House business.
Squirmy Democrats began wondering what was going on. Soon an aide pulled up a blog post reporting that Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) had scheduled a 6 p.m. “Beach Party” fundraiser — at $250-$5,000 a head — at DC’s waterfront Cantina Marina.
I call bullshit…
(BONUS SIGN YOU MAY BE A DRUNK: Random Vomiting. I’m pretty sure Boehner just narrowly missed an up-chuck around the 1:59 mark in this video)
