John Boehner Deflects Questions About His Tan on 'GMA' (VIDEO)

Boehner was on 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC) and George Stephanopoulos made sure to bring up Boehner's most famous characteristic:

"I have to note, if you do win, and you do become speaker, you'll probably have the deepest tan of any speaker in American history."

Then Stephanopoulos produced a poll that stated that 30 percent of the people in Boehner's home state believe he spends too much time on his tan, and asked Boehner if his tan could become a problem.

"They probably weren't there yesterday when I was out cutting my grass, or when I was out riding my mountain bike, alright," Boehner shot back, eliciting studio laughter.

"So no worries there?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"Thanks George," Boehner responded, after a comic pause that suggested he won't be doing too much elaborating on his tan going forward.
