Maybe it’s just the lighting on the State of the Union podium. Maybe it’s too much tan-in-a-tube.
Whatever the cause – John Boehner’s skin appears several hues darker than Obama’s tonight.
(Photo of my TV doesn’t quite do justice.)
I keep thinking that with a tan like that, there must be pictures of Boehner in a bikini somewhere on the internet. So far, the google is failing me. If he were a female politician or a Kardashian, I’m sure I’d hit the jackpot.

I was thinking the same thing!
Was it any different on other channels? Some channels make people’s skin look darker or lighter.
Y’know, I didn’t check other channels. I think Boehner’s orange is more than skin deep by now, though!
Your comment got stuck in the spam filter again, darnit! I’m sorry; I don’t know why that keeps happening, except maybe the fact that you post using just your initial?
I was getting ready to adjust the color on my TV until I noticed who it was!
Now *that’s* a scary thought. If you tune Boehner to a normal white-dude color, what does that make Rachel Maddow? Mauve, perhaps?
Don’t mess with that TV, or Boehner will mess with you!
I have wondered if its also related to his nicotine habit.
Hmm. So he might be turning brownish orange from the inside out? Or does he bathe in eau de nicotine?
Could well be……
Nicotine bathing – the logical extension to the patch I suppose!!!!!
