HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Speaker of the United States House of Representatives John Boehner will be visiting Oakwood University to speak to the historically black university’s White Student Association (WSA) at their first major event for the 2014 – 2015 school year. Speaker Boehner’s press office released a statement saying that his topic would be “Results-Driven Tanning Practices.”
“Being white at an historically black university puts some pressure on you to at least walk around with a half-way decent tan,” said WSA President and Junior Communications Major, Hunter Blanche. “Nobody in America is quite as dedicated to tanning as John Boehner so we are delighted that he has taken us up on our speaking invitation.”
“This is a man who is as dedicated to tanning as he is to politics,” said Sophomore English Major and WSA Director of Public Relations, Holly Mosley. “We ask everyone to put aside their partisan differences for an evening and come listen to Speaker Boehner, a political leader who literally is orange from tanning.”
The WSA event, scheduled for October 1 is open to anyone who would like to attend.
Don’t you know that excessive tanning either by the sun or the salon is dangerous to your skin? Think Skin Cancer!! Basel Cell Carcinoma!! Watch out for the red blotches on your skin, especially the areas exposed to the sun. Are you trying to change the spots on the leopard or the skin of the Ethiopian? Woe is me!
Does John Boehner have a real tan, or does he use tanning cream?
Can anyone trust a man who may be using tanning cream?
I see a possible analogy to the June 16, 1980 newspaper report about then-candidate Ronald Reagan (“Only his hairdresser knows for sure”), . . .
