The first is the obvious one: that Mr. Boehner has publicly announced he has entered at least one twelve-step program - AA and Nicotine Anonymous would be the obvious choices.

The other is that he's finally admitted he has no power over the teabaggers. I think this is the more likely one; Boehner loves his cigarettes and bourbon a bit too much to give either up, but he really doesn't have any control over his caucus.
