Boehner rents Capitol Hill apartment from tanning bed lobbyist (http://dailycaller.com/2013/12/18/boehner-rents-capitol-hill-apartment-from-tanning-bed-lobbyist/#ixzz2nqoIznm4)

Speaker of the House John Boehner has long denied that his perpetual tan skin color is the result of sunless tanning. He just spends a lot of time outdoors, the Ohio Republican is known to say.

But despite his repeated denials of using tanning beds, Boehner has ties to the industry. Not only has he accepted campaign contributions from a group called the Indoor Tanning Association, Boehner actually lives in a D.C. apartment owned by a lobbyist for the American Suntanning Association.

Boehner rents a Capitol Hill English basement apartment from John D. Milne, a lobbyist with the firm mCapitol, Milne and Boehner’s office confirmed to The Daily Caller on Tuesday. Milne lobbies for the American Suntanning Association, which retained mCapitol for $90,000 in 2013.

This how much money John Boehner received for the 2012 congressional cycle. This is for a congressional seat, not a senatorial or presidential election bid. This does not include cash spent by political money bundlers and launderers, like Sheldon Adelson and Karl Rove... et al. John Boehner is as bought and paid for as any street hooker.

He's in an R+14 district and he's Speaker. He doesn't have to worry about a Democrat challenger and in case he gets primaried, he can raise $1 million in 24 hours just from other GOP Congressmen donating to him, not to mention the resources the national GOP and NRCC would pour into the race to help him out if he needed it.
