So the Wash Post runs a story about how John Boehner rents an apartment in DC owned by a lobbyist. Three paragraphs down, we read: “for $1,600 a month, he rents a two-bedroom basement apartment near the House office buildings on Capitol Hill owned by Milne, Boehner spokesman Don Seymour said yesterday. Boehner’s monthly rent appears to be similar to other rentals of two-bedroom English basement apartments close to the House side of the Capitol in Southeast, based on a review of apartment listings.” If Boehner is paying a market rate, which is what the Post says, there was no justification on earth for the Post to run this story at all. No reason.
