JOHN BOEHNER, THE CLOCK IS TICKING

I previously noted that I was skeptical how long John Boehner, Tom DeLay's replacement as House Majority Leader, would last. Things keep popping up and popping up, tying him to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Now there's a report tying him to another lobbyist. So far they are these ties are indirect or incidental, but where there's smoke there's fire, as far as I'm concerned. He may not be quite as "dirty" as DeLay, now fighting felony charges, but all this just shows that "clean" Republicans still have an awful lot of dirt clinging to them.
