After rebuffing years of requests to appear on the "Tonight Show," House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) finally showed up Thursday night to spend a few minutes on Jay Leno's couch before the talk show host steps down next month.
The exchange began as what appeared to be a carefully choreographed exchange that allowed Boehner to talk about his personal life and deliver a few one-liners. It later segued into topics on which the speaker's opinions are well known.
So here are some of the more notable highlights from their exchange.
What about Chris Christie's problems?
"Doesn't appear he knew anything about it. ... This is not going to go away anytime soon. ... It may happen in New Jersey, but it doesn't happen in Ohio."
What do you think of Vladimir Putin?
"I just think he's a thug, I think he's treated his neighbors in a disrespectful way and frankly, I think the president ought to stand up to him and better protect America's interests and our allies, especially in Eastern Europe."
this is what i mean, we have the Olympics coming up there has been good discourse between Putin and Pres. up pops a whack a mole and slams him and says Pres. ought to step up to him, this from the guy who can't look at his boss without crying, heads the most unsuccessful do nothing congress in history and he's giving man up advise?
btw did he ever fix that bridge?
