Since when is Rand a representative in Texas?

I wonder if Boehner misspoke --hard to believe that he would. The reporter misheard him or the reporter just made sh*t up and is an uninformed dumbass.

There weren't any quotation marks around "Rand Paul", I suspect it was the reporter's error.

Here is another version of the story; clearly Boehner was being asked about, and answered regarding, the House member candidates. http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/123822104.html The reporter just blew it in the link in the OP.

The reporter just blew it in the link in the OP.
The reporter just demonstrated that reporters nowadays are just as uninformed and stupid as anybody else in the link in the OP.

Why so aggressive? The R. Pauls are popular! It doesn't matter who it is.

It was meant to be less aggressive and more a note of disgust with the unprofessional amateurism of modern day journalism.
