Boehner reacts to Nuxhall death

Rep. John Boehner, a West Chester Republican, had this to say today about the death of Cincinnati Reds legend and Butler County native Joe Nuxhall:

“Joe Nuxhall personified Cincinnati Reds baseball for six decades. He was an icon to generations of Southwest Ohioans, and to millions of baseball fans and families throughout Reds Country. He was also one of Butler County’s most distinguished citizens – a humble, good-natured man who never lost touch with his roots and always had time to lend a helping hand in the community he loved.

“Summer nights in Cincinnati will never be the same again without the voice of the Ol’ Left Hander crackling over the airwaves. To millions, even those who never met Joe in person, his voice was the voice of a good friend. Our community has lost one of its most beloved citizens. He will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with Joe's wife, sons, and all of his family and friends.”

Republicans should be embarrassed to have Boehner as their so-called "leader." Check out his behavior on the House floor.

Mr. Boehner's behavior is human. I am an independent and I see nothing wrong in the above mentioned video. Let's worry about the important things.

You leave politics OUT of these matters. Remember Joe don't use it as an opportunity to play politics. While I don't agree with Boehner politically, talking about that here is repulsive.

The fishwRap is to blame, not the bloggers !

THEY decided to politicize the old left hander !
