Rumor on the Rumor

DelCo Dem — Sat, 28 Jul 2007 20:24:49 -0700

Bummer. A rumor on the rumor is that we will have to wait.

From "Bighead DC": We asked one of Larry Flynt’s trusted associates whether he’s going to be making an announcement regarding an Ohio Republican Congressman anytime soon. “Nope,” said our well-connected source. “But something else is coming soon…”

EDIT: Howie Klein from "Down With Tyranny" states: "Every single person we've contacted so far says it's Boehner."

I live in his district. I never voted for him and hate his politics, but I don't see him as the type to do this. He seems too straight laced. I would love to be wrong though. But I would love it even more if it was Boehner--he's just so loathesome.

Make those phonecalls

Why let Larry Flynt have all the fun? Call your Repub Ohio House reps and ask them. Repeatedly. Until you get a confession. Tell them Flynt is going to out them anyway. Who know maybe they'll all confess!

Call them all and ask them.

Actually you're both wrong...

In German 'oe' is represented by 'o' with an umlaut, which is pronounced (approximately) as 'uh'. So Bo[umlaut]hner is pronounced roughly as 'Buhner'.

Rampant speculation

My guess is that if it were Boehner the rumor would say something about leadership. I have to root for Tiberi, since he's mine, and on the wrong side of pretty much everything.

Two vowels...

No Vested Interest — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 22:06:18 -0700

But not in German. The second vowel is pronounced in German: ex; Stein sounds like Stine; Friel sounds llike Freel. However, over the years, many German-origin names have become anglicized and use the first vowel. But the Boehner family sticks with the German..

How about Rep. Buyer in IN? Pronounces it Boo-yer.

Remember 'Dean of Corn'!

Remember that Jean Schmidt's campaign chief, who followed her to D.C., is apparently the infamous 'Dean of Corn". Perhaps he kept borrowing her phone!

As they say...

Steve "monster comb over" Chabot?

Turner (OH-3)?

Something about this story just screams Turner to me.

I really wouldn't like to touch THAT seat unless I was wearing gloves.

Rumor: Ohio Republican Implicated In Hooker Scandal

I can't go too far into details - because frankly I don't have all the dirt - but I want to throw this one out to the wolves. Sources close to the Flynt Hooker investigation tell me that they've zeroed in on one Republican, from Ohio's House Delegation, whose contacts appear repeatedly throughout the DC Madam's listings.

I don't know where this is going to go, but I'm hearing that they're zeroing in on this one specifically. More developments as/if I can post them.

UPDATE: On a semi-related note, don't forget Ohio's other nickname, "Sexual Playground for all young GOPer's"
