BOEHNER CANCELS HIS DINNER PLANS
(UPDATED BELOW)
Uh oh. Shit got heavy in the beltway...and now Mr. Ohio has to stay late in the midst of a budget crisis on Capital Hill and will totally miss dry, tough chicken dinner a la Ashland University.
So uh, Mr. Speaker will get here when he gets here, which is now a dinner engagement scheduled for the "future".
That's too bad, because progressive students had planned a riveting protest concerning Mr. Speaker's horrendous/awesome civil rights record, depending on what way you were born.
