Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is having a “minor, unscheduled” medical procedure to address recurring back problems, spokesman Michael Steel said Wednesday.

Boehner, 64, was in the Capitol on Tuesday and not in any obvious discomfort when speaking to reporters.

Steel would not provide further details on his procedure. The Speaker had been scheduled to attend a Holocaust remembrance ceremony in the Capitol’s Statuary Hall, where congressional leaders are dedicating a tree in honor of Anne Frank. Boehner’s back problems date to when he tended his family’s bar as a young man, and he had surgery at the Cleveland Clinic about five years ago.

No, he does have a spine, it only shows when he is attacking the Tea Party and Conservatives though.

Weak spine? Yep the jokes write themselves

What spine?

[GladesGuru]

Somebody raised the ghost of Margaret Thatcher and convinced he to do a backbone transplant on Bohner.

Time will tell if it took or not.

Well we all know his healthcare is better than the rest of ours. He is a top pig in the animal kingdom.

This is a joke, right? Satire perhaps? If the expedition does ever find anything, I can hear it now .... Dr. Backbone, I presume?

Raise your hand if your first thought was “Gee that’s funny, I didn’t know he had a spine”. That’s what I thought!

[Timber Rattler]

Microsurgery required.

[Mouton]

Just below the spine is what his problem is.
