John Boehner spokesman re the President's joke: “I can see no reason to discuss it."

[Jackeens]

So is John Boehner’s oft-mocked perma-tan a color that’s “not found in the natural world”?

The president said so at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, but the House minority leader’s office wouldn’t say Monday.

Asked to comment on Barack Obama’s crack about Boehner’s glow — long the subject of gossipy speculation and derision on the Hill — Boehner spokesman Michael Steel initially declined, saying: “I can see no reason to discuss it.”

Pressed further, Steel eventually e-mailed this riposte:

“If Leader Boehner had a nickel for every time he’s heard a joke like that, he could make a serious dent in Washington Democrats’ record-setting deficit.”

1. If so many jokes are being made about Boner's unnatural skin tone,

maybe he should take the hint and try to look a bit less like an Oompah-Loompah.

4. Hey-

9. I demand he tell the American people what he puts on his skin

2. 5 packs a day

and a secret hoard of Man Tan, i think, is what gives Dear Leader Boner his amber aura.

3. Funniest part is the dude's name is Michael Steel

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Boehner idiolizes the guidos.

10. Please tell me that was taken on Oct. 31 or at a douchebag party

Just think of the pollution released into the environment every time those fuckers have a shower

6. The money spent on boner's "orange" could

make a serious DENT in bush's throwing money down the rabbit hole in Iraq.

First Bombing it to rebuild it with cheney's haliburton..who the fucking do they think they're kidding?

7. Oh no. I've spotted a rare two-eyed boner.

I think this may make medical history.

[Peacetrain]

8. Well Jackeens... Boehner is a true "orange man"

:rofl:

At times, the man truly looks orange with that tan.

11. Boner is florescent. He should be used to light the Capital at night.

[Vinca]

14. You have to wonder - how on earth does a person get to be that color?

Does he lay in a tanning bed then go to one of those places where they spray you with tanning stuff then go to the beach? It's very weird. Not the usual overtan you see on the "leather" people who sometimes frequent southern beaches.

15. Boner's new identity
