While rank and file Republican Congressmen continued their solemn duty last week of political posturing on the House floor during Congressional recess, their fearless leader was nowhere to be found. Apparently it's hard to protest the fact that Congress is out of session when you yourself are on a week long golf vacation back in your home state.

That's right, House Minority Leader John Boehner spent last week golfing at the Wetherington Golf & Country Club in West Chester, Ohio, a trip he was able to deftly conceal until he made the fatal flaw of posting his own scores on the USGA website. (In all fairness, the guy scored an 85 one of the days! Could you have kept that a secret?)

When Boehner finally did return to work on Friday, the Democrats were waiting for him. According to Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill…

About a dozen Democratic interns dressed up in golf gear Friday morning to welcome Boehner back to the Capitol, carrying signs that read 'Golf & Oil Party' and 'Fore! Dollar Gas'… Boehner, who offered no comment, was not amused.

Yeah, he's a hypocrite and the textbook stereotype of a stodgy Republican out golfing with the elite, while mendaciously claming to be the guardian of the middle class.

But an 85? That's awesome!

I'll bet Nancy Pelosi doesn't even know which end of the club to hold!
