"Yes, I am cozy with lobbyists, but I have never done anything unethical."
—new House Majority Leader Rep. John Boehner
VERSUS
"One day last summer Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, chairman of the House Republican Conference, decided to play Santa Claus. … In any event, Mr. Boehner took it upon himself to begin handing out money from tobacco lobbyists to certain of his colleagues on the House floor."
Boehner stopped handing out the checks only "after being questioned about the practice by two freshmen who’d heard about the handoff on the House floor" [Charleston Gazette, 5/11/96]
