Meet John Boehner's New Son in Law
2013-05-15
Children pick spouses who suit them and their own aspirations, not what the parents might have wanted for them... at least in America, where class is a fluid thing.
Next: A new little Focker er, Boehner.

#10  Soooo.... Boehner's daughter, who *isn't* a politician, married a black guy from Jamaica who happens to be a construction worker. He's a Rastafarian who once got arrested for smoking pot, and he has a reasonably nice home in a reasonably nice neighborhood. They had a pleasant, private wedding and their both in their late 30's.

Is there supposed to be some kind of story here?

#8  That is some inside info, extensive background, and long range photo taking. If there was only a profession which supported this sort of investigating journalism.

#7  Sounds like the congressman behaved like a gentleman. The same cannot be said of a number of progressive commenters.

#6  However, one waitress on hand said she could not believe the wedding party had opted for a buffet, saying: 'YouÂ’d think that theyÂ’d splurge on a five-course, sit-down meal! I thought theyÂ’d all be much richer!'

Just after 10pm, John Boehner was spotted asking the groom to allow him to dance with his daughter as a three-piece band played The Turtles‘ So Happy Together. The congressman also cut a rug with his younger daughter, Tricia.

The Jamaican side of the family, it seems, including Dominic's sister Delicia, reportedly stayed off the dance floor.


Such trash. I can't believe our son married her.

#3  Hypergamy (colloquially referred to as "marrying up") is the act or practice of marrying a spouse of higher caste or status than oneself.

The term is often used more specifically in reference to a perceived tendency among human cultures for females to seek or be encouraged to pursue male suitors that are higher status than themselves.
