Urging two Republican leaders to start singing from the same hymn-book: OK.
Urging them to “get on the same page”: not so much.
From The Hill:
Hastert and Boehner need to get on the same page or Republican troubles will continue to mount.
(Now, would that be a male page, or a female page?)

At their ages, they have trouble mounting either.
What you quote is the very last line in story. At a guess, put in deliberately as joke.
Boehner's name is just icing on the cake.
I'm with Gar. That line was not inadvertent. Reminds me of the time nearly 40 years ago when my friends on the editorial board and I put the name "Ben Dover" in the caption of a group photo in my high school yearbook.
Hastert's got a big Boehner.
