This photo taken March 7, 2013 shows House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio meeting with reporters on Capitol Hill in Washington. Boehner says former Republican colleague Bob Ney is a disgraced congressman who went to jail and that Ney's criticisms of Boehner in a new book are 'baseless and false.'Boehner was asked at a news conference Thursday about Ney's reported accusations in his book that Boehner was more interested in playing golf and drinking than making policy and that in 2006 Boehner had reneged on a promise to get him a job if Ney left Congress. Boehner says Ney is making false statements in order to sell his book. Boehner said, quote, 'It's sad.' Like Boehner, Ney is an Ohio Republican. Ney spent 11 months in prison for his involvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)

NEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 28: People wait in a security line at John F. Kennedy Airport on February 28, 2013 in New York City. Should the $85 billion in automatic federal budget cuts, known as the sequester, go into effect Friday as scheduled, airport control towers in a number of states could close, putting pilots and staff members at risk. In addition to the closed control towers, Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers could be furloughed, leading to long waits and confusion at many airport security checkpoints.
