Why does Boehner think the House's Congress-members-only gym is an "essential service"?

Boehner's office ordered the House's private gym for members of Congress be kept open during the government shutdown, even while the gym for Congressional staffer is closed. How does that qualify as "essential"?

    Why does Boehner think that the Tea Party and Republicans should decide who gets health care and who dies? They think they are special and deserve the right to run death squads just because they are who they are.
