Could Boehner's speakership be history? His daughter is set to marry a black man.

[aaaaaa5a]

John Boehner's 35 year old daughter Lindsey, (far right in family picture) is engaged to a Jamaican man who has been busted several times for marijuana. House speaker John Boehner opposes marijuana legalization.





The right wing of his party is not going to like this.

Lindsay Boehner, the anti-pot House Speaker’s eldest daughter, is getting ready to marry Jamaica-born construction worker Dominic Lakhan, according the Boca Raton-based National Enquirer.

And the 38-year-old groom was once arrested by sheriff’s deputies for possession of marijuana.

Records show, the Enquirer reports, that Lakhan was pulled over for a traffic violation in Pembroke Pines back in 2006.

And not only was Lakhan driving with an opened can of Natural Lite beer, the report reads, there was an “odor of burnt cannabis emitting from the interior of the vehicle.”


“A search of the vehicle revealed two bags containing approximately 2 grams cannabis . . . inside the center of the ashtray. Suspect admitted to the possession of the cannabis, stating that it was for personal use.”

Lakhan was arrested and charged with misdemeanor pot possession.

Lindsay Boehner and Lakhan, by the way, are already living together in a rented house on east side of Delray. Both are described by neighbors as “really cool.”

Meanwhile, the perpetually-tanned John Boehner, a GOP congressman from Ohio, is adamantly against the use of pot, even for medicinal purposes.

To be honest I don't know how newsworthy it is to some people here. But in an era where so much of the GOP movement is based on demographic animosity, I think its thread worthy. And yes, I think the groom's ethnic background more than trumps his drug past when it comes to politics.

1. Daily Mail sourced by National Enquirer? Really?

Boy, hard to make worse when it comes to reliable sources. I dont know if it would be newsworthy with a real source, but just like that, it is really NOT newsworthy of anything except the trash.

[aaaaaa5a]

7. The story can be found at several more reliable sources.

I took the links that had pictures. But its all over the net. I wouldn't post the story if I thought for a second it was untrue.

[sendero]

42. Folks who pay attention..

... know that since the Enquirer lost a lawsuit a long time ago they are careful about what they publish. I would believe their story over something the NYT published, as an example.

Every year or so this happens here, someone cites an Enquirer story, derision follows and the story is ALWAYS EVENTUALLY PROVEN CORRECT.

[onenote]

2. why does the caption refer to "several" busts

when the stories all refer to a single misdemenor possession charge from 7 years ago?

[aaaaaa5a]

9. Apparently he has been busted for marijuana twice. I posted 2 links for the full story. nt

[ecstatic]

3. They make exceptions for Allen West, Clarence Thomas

types. I think it depends on if he thinks/talks like a teabagger. On the other hand, I don't hear much about politicians' kids so it may not matter.

[LittleBlue]

4. She's not bad looking

Bizarre pairing. She looks like your typical high-class politician's daughter, he looks like a Rastafarian or something.

Boehner must have shit himself.

Good luck to them.

[aaaaaa5a]

6. I was thinking the exact same thing! nt

[TexasTowelie]

5. Is he a Muslim?

My apologies, but that is the question that I would expect to hear this area.

[aaaaaa5a]

10. I don't know. But its worth asking. I'm sure his right wing friends want to know LOL! nt

[undeterred]

8. The orange cannot marry the black...

I think Halloween colors would be fun for a wedding.

[Nay]

11. Boehner only likes people with FAKE tans, not the real thing. nt

[Leslie Valley]

13. The only place I've seen this made an issue is here.

3 or 4 times today already.

Congratulations.

[aaaaaa5a]

16. Um... no its an issue in a lot of places. Check the right wing hate site blogs. nt

[JI7]

14. i bet Boehner uses also

[SpartanDem]

15. I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall the first time she brought him home.

[Marrah_G]

17. Good for her

And maybe he will make the Speaker change his views on a few things.

[onenote]

18. The short answer: no

This marriage will have zero impact on his speakership.

[840high]

20. Correct.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

19. I wonder if he has his hair done up in dreadlocks inside that big floppy hat

Looks like something's stuffed up in there. Maybe he's a Rastafarian? It'll make an interesting wedding reception to see him next to the Boner. The reggae music will at least be good I'll bet.

[shanti]

21. i love it!

way to stick it to pops, lindsay!

[DeSwiss]

22. A 21st century version of ''Guess Who's Coming To Dinner?''

- Congrats and Good luck!

[brush]

23. HOLY SHIT! nt

[LeftInTX]

24. He's gotta have some serious hair stuffed in that hat!

Hope he doesn't cut it cuz I wanna see the wedding pics.

[DreamGypsy]

27. Hey, DUde...

that my ganja hat.

[bhikkhu]

25. I don't think being black is a detriment

...and I am getting over the idea of smoking pot as a mark against anyone's character. I think the repugs are well along the way as well.

So what are we talking about?

[Wounded Bear]

26. This is no problem to the reality challenged...

No problemo, bro!

[Niceguy1]

28. really?

I can't believe I wasted my time and electrons reading this drivel.

[DreamGypsy]

29. Best news I have EVER heard about Boehner...

...that his genes are not reality, diversity destroying.

Hey, Lindsey, any time you and the ganja man want to drop by...don't hesitate. Just lock the old man in the liquor closet and come on over.

There is hope for Amerika yet!


ps: Got a question , in that 364 Time 3:31 photo - is the central figure Mrs. Boehner, or is that John in drag?? Inquiring minds must know.

[HiPointDem]

30. weird that she's going to marry a jamaican construction worker. how does she meet a jamaican

construction worker in the first place, at a club?

it just doesn't seem like their paths would cross that easily.

second, both those daughters have the same expression their mother does.

[Historic NY]

32. Hum...is this implying he isn't legal....

anyway Christmas dinner ot the Boehners is going to be interesting...

[HiPointDem]

33. no, i just wonder how she'd meet a jamaican construction worker. it doesn't seem like they'd

travel in the same circles.

white congressperson's daughter -- jamaican construction worker

[Historic NY]

34. I meant the article..

[HiPointDem]

35. ah. i was thinking that he was actually residing in jamaica (i didn't read the article)

partly it was the hat. not fashionable in the us, i think.

[malaise]

41. Construction worker my ass

Not true

[HiPointDem]

43. i dunno, but that's what it says:

" Jamaica-born construction worker Dominic Lakhan"

if he's not a construction worker, what is he?

[shanti]

45. yes, at a club

a reggae show, a jamaican vacation. any and all of those places. trust me

[BlueCheese]

31. Come on.

The Republican Party had a black chairman not too long ago. Their last presidential nominee was a Mormon. Don't overestimate the power of that fringe of the party. The main party couldn't care less about Boehner's daughter.

[malaise]

36. Are you freaking serious?

He is not Afro-Jamaican. His father is 100% Indian from Trinidad. His mother is Jamaican. Muslim? As you can see those are locks. I'm literally rolling on the floor laughing.

[dixiegrrrrl]

37. Gotta admit it IS marvelous to picture the uptight orange man

as father in law to a non-Ivy League man.

[malaise]

38. LOL

It is funny given what he's about to face from his baggers. No wonder the ReTHUG scumbag is always crying.

[RudynJack]

39. Boehner's far from ivy-league

He has an undergraduate degree from a very small college in Cincinnati - and it took him 7 years to get that.

[reformist2]

40. They'll do what good Republicans do with embarrassing relatives... they'll pretend he doesn't exist.

[TheCowsCameHome]

44. I feel bad for the SIL, having to explain

having that jerk Boner for a father-in-law.
