John Boehner Tears Up As Eric Cantor Announces Departure
Before House Majority Leader Eric Cantor could tell his fellow Republicans that he was stepping down, Speaker of the House John Boehner began to cry Tuesday in the basement of the Capitol, as he praised his outgoing colleague at a caucus meeting behind closed doors, according to several members of Congress who were present.

he makes me want to 
Boehner cries about everything - except the deplorable way his party treats this country. Cry me a river and get out of congress.
And that is that a Louie Gohmert clone is probably going to take Cantor's place--not the most conducive sort to try and keep in line if you're a Republican Speaker of the House.
As a "by-the-way" side note, there is a very well-done crime series ("Tatort"
in Germany that has teams of homicide cops from around Germany on a rotating basis. The ones in provincial Münster/Westfalen are a very working-class soccer fan homicide cop moved down from Hamburg and a snobby, aristocratic medical examiner who also happens to be the homicide cop's landlord. The snooty Medical Examiner, brilliantly played by Jan Josef Liefers (a former East German who is equally at home as a singer in a rock band in real life), is named Karl-Friedrich Boehner (correctly pronounced, for a change).
What goes better together!
