John Boehner’s Holiday Party Snub
by Michelle Cottle Dec 5, 2012 4:45 AM EST

Speaker Boehner declines to be photographed with President Obama at a holiday party. Michelle Cottle on the roots of political pettiness—and what Boehner should do next year.

As party fouls go, John Boehner’s declining to get his photo taken with President Obama at the White House Christmas soiree is pretty innocuous. It’s not like the Speaker lit up in the Blue Room, or started snacking on the traditional gingerbread White House, or tied one on and began crooning Clarence Carter’s “Backdoor Santa” to FLOTUS. (Although, how fantastic would that have been?)

Nonetheless, Boehner’s photographic demurral—like his ongoing refusal to attend State dinners—stands as yet one more example of the lack of civility and general pettiness that now reign inside the Beltway.
