ABC News: Boehner cries again

[WI_DEM]

He did it again.

John Boehner was driven to tears again today. This time it happened at a closed-door meeting of House Republicans.

According to sources inside the meeting, Boehner it happened while Boehner was speaking to the group about the latest on his negotiations with Democrats over government funding. Boehner talked about his meeting yesterday with President Obama and then, in a rousing conclusion, he thanked the House Republicans for standing by him and supporting him through these tense negotiations.

The Republican conference responded with a standing ovation for their speaker.

As you could imagine, that prompted the Speaker to cry.

“Yes,” said one person at the meeting, “He cried, but only briefly.”

24. He'll be crying alot in 2012 when Nancy Pelosi gets her old job back.

[Shagbark Hickory]

[Proud Liberal Dem]

26. I don't think there's anything wrong with men crying

but for crissakes, is THAT news? :shrug:
:wtf:

At what point is somebody (in the corporate media) going to start wondering if this sort of behavior is genuine or just a cry for attention (or something worse)?

[Marr]

27. There's definitely something wrong with that man.

I don't know if he's a drunk or if it's something else, but he's certainly not right. Boehner actually sobs-- he doesn't just squeeze out a few crocodile tears, like televangelists and other con-men are known for.
