John Boehner spokesman re the President's joke: “I can see no reason to discuss it." [View All]

So is John Boehner’s oft-mocked perma-tan a color that’s “not found in the natural world”?

The president said so at Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, but the House minority leader’s office wouldn’t say Monday.

Asked to comment on Barack Obama’s crack about Boehner’s glow — long the subject of gossipy speculation and derision on the Hill — Boehner spokesman Michael Steel initially declined, saying: “I can see no reason to discuss it.”

Pressed further, Steel eventually e-mailed this riposte:

“If Leader Boehner had a nickel for every time he’s heard a joke like that, he could make a serious dent in Washington Democrats’ record-setting deficit.”
