Boehner Tan 

A term used for an aging man over 50, that may be going through a mid-life crises and spends way too much time in a tanning bed. This look is supported by the current Speaker of the House Jon Boehner, Republican, representing the State of Ohio.
Bill's mid-life crises has gotten way out of hand. First he bought that Corvette, and now he is rockin the Boehner tan.

John Boehner 

The current minority leader of the US House of Representatives. AKA Mr. No. Any concept promoted by the opposition party, regardless of potential merit, is consistently deemed by Boehner as a non-starter. Regardless of the initiative, Boehner's alternate solution is always "tax cut". His apparent contributions regarding any useful initiatives within government are obscure or non-existent to date. Unless taking up space, breathing, and saying "no" qualify as a useful contributions...he may be at least holding his own.
Hey John Boehner!!!! That poor bastard next to you is choking to death! Can't you give him some help! Sure! I'll give him a tax cut!

John Boehner tears

Tears of self-aggrandizement derived from strong emotions on a specific issue, policy, situation, etc. Persons who engage in this act display a strained or overwrought pathos to others affected by the situation, and are traditionally self-centered. Similar to crocodile tears.
Man: (sobbing) So... are you breaking up with me? After all we've been through? After my success in chasing the American dream?

Woman: You are a pathetic soul. Don't you dare--fight back those John Boehner tears of yours and man up!

John Boehner 

(updated definition) After the2010 Election, Republicans took control of the U.S. House of Representitives.
They then voted to elect John Boehner of Ohio as Speaker of the House for the 112th Congress.

It seems that the G.O.P. plans to undo all the progress made during the 111th Congress!
John Boehner may well be the worst choice for Speaker of the House since Newt Gingrich! His first priority is to repeal the Healthcare Reform passed in 2009!

Pulling a Boehner 

This is how the kids are saying "grasping at straws". This is derived from House Minority Leader John Bohner making ridiculous claims to stop health care reform from passing, including the spreading of a forged document said to be leaked by Democrats.
Steve... you're really pulling a Boehner.
