Glad to see someone's not letting John Boehner get away with terrible jokes: Johnny Cash's daughter, Rosanne, called the House minority leader an "asshat" on Twitter after she learned he’d been using her father as a punchline. "Remember when Ronald Reagan was president?" Boehner's been asking. "We had Bob Hope. We had Johnny Cash. Think about where we are today. We have got President Obama. But we have no hope and we have no cash." Rosanne tweeted, "John Boehner: Stop using my dad’s name as a punchline, you asshat."
