John Boehner says it was at his family's tavern in Cincinnati that he learned all the skills he needs for his job as House minority leader.
"Great food. Great people. I did dishes. I waited tables. I tended bar."
By his own account, Boehner is an "accidental congressman," especially the Republican part.
"I grew up as a Democrat. I've got 11 brothers and sisters and my dad owned a bar. I'm the last guy you thought would be here, but I'm a product of the American dream," Boehner says.
Yup, just what we need. A folksy plutocrat. He seems to have taken to the golf links and clubhouse bar quick enough. Maybe his background helped prepare him for that.
The Wulfshead club is a well known watering hole for all the strange and unusual people in the world. And for those just passing through... No one's quite sure exactly where the club itself is located, and the very anonymous management likes to keep it that way, but there are authorized access points at locations all around the world, if you know where to look. And if your name's on the approved list. ~Simon Green, Daemons Are Forever
