Edited on Sun Feb-05-06 10:46 AM by Stephanie

Are you listening to him try to spin his free trips to luxury resorts courtesy of lobbyists? He's clearly an oily weasel. This is my first time seeing him.

4. Russert wasn't easy on him
He asked him about handing out tobacco lobbyist checks on the House floor. Boner said that was very wrong of him. ha ha ha!

5. There are just so many bad 'puns' possible...where to begin?
At the very least, they really threw us yet another 'Boner.' This one, literally.

7. Proof the Neocons still have the Republican Party by the....

9. a couple things here: first why didn't they ask about Tom Noe (the
coingate guy) second why is he taking money from tribes not from Ohio, third why is he allowed to take money from outside Ohio when they just passed a law saying people from outside Ohio are not allowed to work on petitions to change laws here. If this guy works for his constituents why have we lost so many jobs, why is our infrastructure like that of a war torn country, why does our secondary education cost more than just about any where else in the country, why are our energy prices some of the highest in the country? This guy was only elected to that position because they think they are loosing Ohio and they want him to be able to bring some pork here so they can stay in power here.

we should let Boner keep talking and talking and talking.He is the poster child of what's wrong in Washington,they don't get that what they do is WRONG,they think they've earned the right to these gifts.

14. Even his face was creepy.
He looks like the guy who would play the over-tanned, chain-smoking, lewd boss in a 50's film.

15. My husband laughed and said, "This guy is so transparent,
you can see the MEET THE PRESS logo behind his back."

I was happy and surprised to see that Tim gave him no mercy, but later in the show I got a clue as to why. Apparently the press might be going up before the committee chaired by Specter, so Timmy is showing his "unbiased" side.

16. Lobbying reform isn't the problem or the cure.
It's corruption in the Congress that is the problem.

17. I'm glad someone else noticed his name pronunciation,
Edited on Sun Feb-05-06 10:49 PM by laugle
I swear it's pronouced BONER!!

Anyway, saw him on Russert, this guy is a total slimeball.

He doesn't want to give up the free trips, doesn't want anyone outside of congress monitoring it, talk about the fox guarding the hen house.

This slimeball is TOM DELAY II!! He needs to go..........

Transparency he says, that's the key, you know you can expect more of the same!!

Also, the guy looks like a BIG BOOZER to me, and he says his dad owns a bar!!
