It's clear that House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio doesn't get out much. Even though a Quinnipiac poll just two weeks ago found that Ohio voters support 57 to 35 percent the idea of giving American consumers the option of buying health insurance from a government-run plan, Congressman Boehner told Politico's Glenn Thrush that he has yet to meet anyone who is for a public option.

"I'm still trying to find the first American to talk to who's in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration" said Representative Boehner, whose sole recent foray into a public discussion of health care reform was a tea-party-style event in Ohio a few weeks back. "I've not talked to one and I get to a lot of places," he told reporters at his weekly press availability. "I've not had anyone come up to me -- I know I'm inviting them -- and lobby for the public option. This is about as unpopular as a garlic milkshake."

Moreover, Boehner's remarks have drawn a sharp rebuke from Brian Bowe, the executive director of the Gilroy Garlic Festival, an annual garlic celebration in Northern California that draws hundreds of thousands of people each year and donates proceeds to charity.

"I would invite him to our festival and would urge him to try the garlic ice cream," said Mr Bowe. "It's the longest line of people at the festival every year. Everyone loves it."

Avocado-Garlic Milkshake

1 California avocado, peeled, pitted and halved
1/3 quart whole milk
1/2 cup lowfat yogurt
3 tablespoons sugar
2 scoops garlic ice cream

Directions are real easy even for an out of touch Republican. Just throw everything in the blender and blend until smooth. Serves one.

Born with a poopy face in Cincinatti
Turned into the Senate's biggest cry baby.
Got him a tan when he was only 3,
Goes on a bender every time he's on TV.

3. I've had and enjoyed garlic ice cream.

Not nearly as disgusting as it sounds, it's actually vanilla with a bit of a bite.
