The Speaker of the House of Representatives is a wind-up toy?
“Every 15 to 30 minutes, they come in and wind me up and I do my thing,” Boehner says in the video."
Who could have known?

That’s so old fashioned.
Now he’s grain alcohol powered.

It’s the deluxe model. Comes with the cocktail shaker attachment.

So, Boehner used to be the Phantom of the Opera. Who knew? Terrible plastic surgery, by the way.
So many jokes, so little time…

Also included, the companion monkey head ashtray that follows him around.

If the Speaker means pointless motion with no observable results then yes the toy monkey is almost exactly like the Speaker…
If the toy was a wind-up orangutan then it would be exactly like the Speaker.

I really don’t think anyone wants to watch a video of Boehner playing with his monkey… Especially with child on his lap…

Why are all of you mocking what is clearly a cry for help? It’s long past time to rip up those “Free Katie” T-shirts and print up “Free John” ones instead.
I’m speechless. For once.

“He’s cracking…” + “8 year olds, dude.”
That puts a DaMPer on things.
Guess John is eating for two, now. He’s fatter 'n Lindsey.
You know who else used to play with those monkeys?
Dr. Gene Scott.

Your staffers equate you to a wind up monkey and you’re proud of that?

If he would use Duracell, The Copper Top Battery, he could keep going and going and going…

®s are a humorless lot.
GWB searchin’ for WMDs. (Not funny at all)
Rep Steve King’s cantaloupe-calved-drug-mules. (Bizarrely whack)
Speaker Bonehead’s windup-monkey-time-waster. (Adolescent)
I’m guessing ® men must make up the bulk of focus groups who find the
World’s-greatest-video-shows of men/boys receiving testicular damage just hilarious.
Misery loves conservatism.

When they want to remake Lost Weekend here’s their guy. He’s available for long stretches of time, he’s tan which will look good on film, and he knows how how to order drinks even in a drunken stupor…
