When you say ānowā you mean a month ago, right?
That really is embarrassing.
Misspellings make for new ways of looking at things!
I fixed the title. (Failure to spellcheck before posting is a pet peeve of mine.)
Of course that means itās no longer a āBoingā and is now a āDizzy.ā
Fresh from his stint at the White House Correspondentās Dinner ā¦
This video was shown at the dinner as part of that stint.
Doink.
Managing editorās day off?
Also, heās not truly a lame duck until after the election.
President Obama is not nor will he be a lame duck so stop using the GOP narrative.
A lame duck President, is one who comes back after the election in November having lost but is still in power until the new session in January 20th the next year.
Well. . . I guess this has been on the internets for a while now, but itās the first time Iāve seen it, and it was genuinely funny. Kudos to Boehner for being able to poke fun at himself and appear with Obama in a joke video.
It also means ineffectual. Over the years it has been used to describe 2nd term presidents with an opposition or hostile Congress.
i had already seen this, but itās still funny watching again. barack and biden play so well off each other, itās comedy gold.
Iām very happy someone has now corrected my misspelling of the presidentās first name. I write Boing Boing pieces late a night after my regular 10-hour day of writing is through, and sometimes mistakes slip in.
I had not seen the video before encountering it on YouTube, and thought it was very funny. Even if some people have seen it before, certainly there are many Boing Boing readers who will likely not have seen it. My only goal was to bring them a smile.
Well I hadnāt seen it so Iām glad it was posted.
I guess I shouldnāt be surprised that Boehner came off fairly naturalistic and at-ease on camera, since it was a big part of his job. Maybe Iāve been conditioned by the Daily Show, Colbert, &c. to expect politicians to appear stilted and awkward.
Um, yeah, lame duck you are with your extraordinary ājournalismā. I only stay on this blog for Cory.
