Norah Specifies What Kind Of Butts Boehner Likes

July 2nd, 2010 7:42 AM
The fall-out from Lazy-Gate continues.  After rolling a clip of John Boehner rebutting Joe Scarborough's assertion that the GOP House leader is lazy, Norah O'Donnell got into the act, with some [presumably] unintentional humor.

Seconding Scarborough's suggestion that Boehner is known to hang out in bars, O'Donnell declared on today's Morning Joe that:
"There's been a reputation that John Boehner likes his butts and he likes his booze."
Realizing that her words lent themselves to more than one interpretation, Norah clarified . . .
O'DONNELL: Meaning cigarette butts.

Which in turn provoked a big round of belly-laughs on the Morning Joe set.
