Behind Boehner's Decision To Shut Down The Government: A Self-Pitying Personal Life

Will Boehner's son-in-law introduce him to Peter Tosh's music?

It's not a secret around Washington that Speaker John Boehner is an unstable alcoholic. Anyone who's ever gotten within a couple of feet of him has smelled the booze. Dozens of Members who have been sworn in by him have told me he was somewhere between drunk and staggering drunk when he asked them to put a hand on the Bible and take the oath of office. And reports are rampant that his drinking went completely out of control this year.

Boehner got his wife Debbie got married 40 years ago. A vain and pompous little man, he's been having a series of affairs for many years. And he always resented that his wife never had a son, just two daughters, Lindsay and Tricia. But if you think his hankering for a son who have been satisfied when Lindsay got married this past May, well… no one thinks he's smoking' a fat one and playing a few rounds with his son-in-law, Dominic Lakhan. The New York Daily News reported on the nuptials that drove John Boehner insane and helped cause the government shutdown.

The daughter of House Speaker John Boehner tied the knot over the weekend with her Jamaican-born love, who was once busted for marijuana possession.

Lindsay Boehner, 35, and 38-year-old Dominic Lakhan wed Friday evening in Delray Beach, Fla.

Lakhan was reportedly arrested in 2006 when Florida cops found 4 grams of pot in his ashtray after a routine traffic stop.

Lakhan, wearing a dapper gray suit and sporting dreadlocks extending to his waist, exchanged vows with Boehner at a small bed-and-breakfast as the bride’s straight-laced Republican father and another 80 guests looked on.

Lakhan’s new father-in-law is an observant Catholic, a strict conservative and an opponent of marijuana legalization.

His daughter's strapless white wedding gown exposed a huge tattoo on her arm which Boehner held as he escorted her down the aisle and gave her away.
