Does John Boehner Spend All of His Time in a Giant Hamster Ball?

Minority Leader John Boehner, to Politico:

"I'm still trying to find the first American to talk to who's in favor of the public option, other than a member of  Congress or the administration" said Boehner, whose sole recent foray into a public discussion of health care reform was a tea-party-style event in Ohio a few weeks back. "I've not talked to one and I get to a lot of places," he told reporters at his weekly press availability. "I've not had anyone come up to me -- I know I'm inviting them -- and lobby for the public option."

Just ponder for a moment about what it means if John Boehner isn't lying -- because as we know, it's wrong for politicians to lie and they almost never, ever do -- but that he really, honestly has never met anyone who was in favor of the public option during this entire debate.

Let us all pause to reflect the sheer magnitude of the insular, self-inflating bubble that would be required of Boehner to never meet or talk to a single American that thought that way, when 2/3rds of the country do, and the majority of people in his own state do. He must roll to and from work in a giant, government-provided hamster ball.
