When it comes to quoting the media,
Boehner's all about the swing and the miss.

Looks like today isn't the first time John Boehner's played fast and loose with his quotes from the media. Seems he had a little Twitter problem back in January too:

Earlier this afternoon, CNN?s Lisa Desjardins Tweeted about a Florida judge having found the new health care law unconstitutional. Specifically, she wrote: ?BREAKING ? FLASH: Florida judge finds new health care law unconstitutional. #tcot #tlot #left #teaparty.? ...

Moments later, Boehner re-tweeted her original post, but added his own little somethin? somethin?: ?MT @LisaDCNN: BREAKING ? FLASH: Florida judge finds job-crushing health care law unconstitutional #hcrcostsjobs.?

...

Desjardins did not hesitate to call Boehner out, asking her Twitter follows whether his wasn?t ?an abuse of ?MT?ing.? A few other bold names on Twitter, including Fox News? Andy Levy and blogger / Tweeter ?pourmecoffee?, also viewed Boehner?s MT as ?not cool? and ?dishonest.?

Yep, that's Boehner. "Not cool" and "dishonest." And that is a direct quote.
