Boehner spoke about inappropriate clothing worn on the house floor.

What was that about?
Seemed tacky to be the next thing that would come out of his mouth.

Found it odd that he didn't take a few minutes to say a few words about her.

It was actually quite amazing....
he can cry about her....but couldn't be bothered to speak about anything other
than clothing!

Of course, the MSNBC Chris Jensing stated that it isn't his place to speak from
his chair....but I think she may have made that up!

That wasn't the time to start talking about clothing. How completely rude to mess up that beautiful moment and what felt like a rare time when the parties were all on one accord. SMH

He didn't even say anything about her. Just blubbered a little bit and then made that strange admonition.

I think it is guilt we are seeing and/or merely a reflexive need to grab on to the attention. I hate being so cynical, but he is a RETHUG after all.

not only today....

Perhaps he knows that the divisiveness that he and others have been nurturing
was a large part of why this woman as well as all of us have been made to suffer.

You hit the nail right on the head.

The 'Fuck Ron Paul' meme was due for an overhaul, anyway.
