I'm tired of hearing that about Boehner crying
There is nothing wrong with a guy getting emotional an crying. I've been doing it for years - hey, I;m a sensitive guy and I cry at movies, at a emotional songs on the radio, and lots of other stuff. There is nothing wrong with crying about things.

B. gets made fun of by late night hosts and pundits, even Keith - who has teared up a few times himself.

What bothers me is the things that J.B. does NOT cry about!

40 million without health insurance amd Mr. "common man" Boehner sheds not a tear.

Kid's dying because of Corp. Health Insurer Death Panels - dry as a martini.

911 first responders dropping like flies - not a sniffle.

A teardrop on behalf of the '99ers'? "Not only no but HELL NO!"

But try to suggest that the richest 1% of Americans should bear their share of the sacrifice and bring on the tears. ...

As my dear departed Daddy used to say, "Such Crap!"


I don't worry about his tears ... I worry about his priorities.

1. Boehner is a phony and so is his crying.. The media is trying to paint him as compassionate. nt

2. It's not him crying, but the fact if Pelosi had done it,
she would have been painted as a woman too emotional to do the job. It's the same old double standard again.

8. She would have been labeled not only too emotional, but hysterical and unstable as well.
It would have been enough for many to question her abilities and call for her impeachment. Do you remember the field day the press and other had during the 2008 primaries when Hillary got a little misty eyed during a meeting?

4. You cry at things that would be expected to elicit a response...
including crying, by many. That is absolutely normal. Boehner, on the other hand, sheds tears at very unexpected triggers and so frequently, that his documented heavy drinking very likely is the explanation. For him, like many chronic alcoholics, the frequency of his tears come from an emotional system "chemically" out of whack.

5. I am tired of hearing that Obama was not born in the US. Boehner's crying is only done
at the fact of his power. He has never cried about the unemployed, those thrown out of their homes. It shows where his priorities are and that is not at the poor.

12. I had the same question.

But I do enjoy the phrase "Crying Boehner"... Tee hee... The image it conjures is hilarius. I think I'm still 5.
