GOP online revolution - now with links!

So did you hear the one about how the House Republicans are using the latest online tools to spread the word about their hippie sit-in?

Yeah, Twitter, Qik streaming video, YouTube, all that crap.

And a whole bunch of Republican Members left their mom's basements and their Cheetos behind, put on their suits, and came out to play Model Congress again this week. Because, well, they don't actually have any other jobs.

So there they were, busting their humps for their Sugar Daddies in the oil biz, but noticeably absent from the barricades was Republican Leader, Melanin Johnny Boehner.

Where was Boehner while his troops were Tweeting, streaming, blogging, IMing, and uploading?

Why, he was on the links, of course!

No, not the hyperlinks. The golf links.

Boehner was around for the start of the fake House session Friday but then left town and hasn't been back since. Even former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) showed up today to rally with his GOP comrades, but the current party leader was nowhere to be seen.

What's Boehner been up to? His office says he's been in Ohio raising money for his political action committee, the Freedom Project, and that he should be back in D.C. later this week. He's also doing 18 events in August for GOP candidates across the country.

But Boehner also has found time to squeeze in a couple rounds of golf. Scores reported by Boehner himself to a United States Golf Association site show that he posted an 85 sometime this week at his home course, Wetherington Golf & Country Club in West Chester, Ohio.

Ah, the marvels of the modern online life! (Good thing he has nothing to hide, eh?)
