Dana Perino: ‘This White House, Of All White Houses’ Should Not Make Fun Of John Boehner’s ‘Skin Color’

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Former White House press secretary Dana Perino thinks President Obama really needs to give us all a break with the John Boehner tan jokes. On 'Fox and Friends' Monday morning, Perino joined the hosts for a chat about POTUS’ weekend remarks at the Gridiron Club Dinner, where he said of Boehner, “I’ve made a few jokes over the years about John’s unusual coloring. I used to think that it was a tan. But after seeing how often he tears up, I’ve come to realize: that’s not a tan, that’s rust.”

Perino found the line humorless, and even mockingly said “hardy har har” on television to emphasize her point. She also suggested that the president and his joke writers should know better than to–apparently–make jokes about skin color:
