According to the expert professional lip-reader team at Entertainment Tonite, chain-smoker John Boehner asks professed ex-smoker President Obama if he ‘had a chance to catch a smoke’… and then adds ‘hah, sooooomebody wouldn’t let you’.
As the female half of a long-term couple, let me assure you that Couple Etiquette under such conditions not only allows but requires an eyeroll on the part of the spouse. Failing to do so would indicate that one was deliberately ignoring Boehner’s roughly joke-shaped jape, and that would be rude, which our First Lady never is (undeliberately, as Mr. Wilde would say).
Dipping into one’s handbag flask to signal the social embarrassment one’s spouse is incapable of feeling, as some vulgar observers claim Mrs. Boehner responded, is not required but certainly understandable.
