What did you think when this Boener guy started crying?

[quinnox]

lol, I was rolling! At first I was like ok, he is going to sob a bit. But then he went on and on and on, like he was having a nervous breakdown or something. Honestly, if this goofball is the best the republicans can put up as speaker for the House, it lessens the pain somewhat!

[Dappleganger]

1. I thought he needs to get off the booze.

[PA Democrat]

2. He is a sloppy drunk who is 2nd in line of succession.

[msongs]

3. his klan agenda is within his grasp? nt

[uncommon]

4. I actually found his speech sort of moving...

too bad he is a douche.

[Atman]

21. BS. If he really worked his way through miserable, menial jobs, he'd be more in touch.

He'd know what real "workers" go through and the challenges they face. Instead, he wants to pull the rug out from underneath them, leave them on their own to fend for themselves while their meager payroll checks get taxed to fund the millionaire's tax cuts. He's not just a douche...he's a goddamn fucking douche.

.

[uncommon]

24. Some people are douchebags no matter what they have been through.

[chimpymustgo]

33. Me too. Till I remembered he's MR. LOBBYIST who spends his spare time on the golf course.

[uncommon]

37. Indeed.

[PearliePoo2]

36. something was moving alright....

right up his esophagus into his mouth..a little whiskey URP that he had to swallow.
I spent years bartending and I saw many a maudlin, slobbering drunk behave this same way at closing time.
If I didn't detest him so much, I would almost feel sorry and embarrassed for him...almost.
Hey RePukes...are you proud of your new speaker?
Pathetic. :puke:

[guitar man]

43. I did too

It gave me the shits :(

[seabeyond]

5. cries like a boy. nt

[liberal N proud]

6. He is unfit to hold public office

and should seek counseling.


Then I couldn't stop laughing, this is the best the GOP has to offer?

[Myrina]

7. ... when the bartender cut him off ...

:toast:

[H2O Man]

8. I connected that image

with NY's Mr Paledino, grabbing his orange baseball bat.

[UTUSN]

9. Alcohol. n/t

[wtmusic]

10. Hey, that goofball is two heartbeats away from POTUS

Heaven help us.

[madmax]

41. Now that's scary and it hadn't occurred to me. duh nt

[AndrewP]

11. I think it was crocodile tears from a fraud n/t

[Erose999]

50. Tears from a clown...

Great song, lol

[FSogol]

12. He's a sloppy drunk & probably also suffering from an undiagnosed venereal disease.

:puke:

[H2O Man]

14. Boener Disease

[FSogol]

16. Symptoms: causes a greasy orange appearance to skin, darting of the eyes,

and increased prevarications. Avoid contact.

[nutsnberries]

13. time to puke.

:puke: ugh.

[Atman]

15. He learned much from Glen Beck

Beck makes about millions of dollars a year doing this shtick. Boner figures it's worth a shot...he's only got a couple of years before he's unemployed.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. be careful. your fake tan might start running.

[Brickbat]

18. I thought it was a damn shame and an excellent symbol of what politics has become that this man

stood up there as sloppy drunk as he was. It wasn't the crying that bothered me; it was the fact that he thought it was OK to totally lose it, knowing he would have to speak to the American people drunk off his ass and expect us to think that was OK. Fuck him.

[madmax]

22. I don't look at him if I can help it so I wouldn't

know if he were drunk or sober. You guys think he really was drunk? That would explain a lot.

[PA Democrat]

26. In addition to crying, he was also burping and slurring his words.

He has a reputation for heading out to hit the bars rather than spending long hours in the office.

[madmax]

Lovely - The new Speaker of the House

:puke:

[Brickbat]

28. Here's the video.

*burp*

[madmax]

34. I don't believe this! This must go viral.

I've booked marked it and am sending it to everyone on my contact list. This should be played over and over again. This could so be used against him in the future to make a fool of him from his own lack of self control.

Couldn't he wait until after he made the speech? I'm stunned. I heard the rumours that he wasn't in the office a lot and like to hit the bars but, I thought networking ;) But, on this night - absolutely no self control. If the Dems don't use this when gravitas is an element of whatever the hell he's trying to do it would be a waste.

Thanks for posting the youtube link.

[madmax]

19. Looked good to the idjits that helped him get there.

:puke:

[EmilyAnne]

20. That color don't run!

Also, I thought it was pretty strange to see someone so moved by their own personal history (he worked, damn you! worked!) that he made himself cry.

[tsuki]

23. That his "tan" would run. nt

[proud patriot]

25. I thought "wow he just realized he has to Govern now"

:shrug:

[niyad]

27. do I remember correctly that hillary was slammed for tearing up during the 2008 campaign?

that several other pols have been castigated for tearing up? yet this bozo is treated by the msm as somehow credible?

[whosinpower]

29. So I was not the only one to think - He's DRUNK!

I admit to never having heard him speak -

But - within seconds, I thought.....He is drunk.

[kentuck]

30. There's a tear in my beer....

He's nothing but a crying drunk.

[JustAnotherGen]

31. Honestly

What a wuss is what I posted on my FB update last night. He didn't get the memo that "boys, don't cryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy". And he's going to be my comic relief the next two years.

I did not grow up with and as an adult I don't surround myself with wimpy crybaby men. Maybe it's holding onto gender bias - but I don't care.

I don't care.

My Wednesday morning thought? He can be 'broken'. Any male that cries and weeps like that? He's WEAK. Just WEAK.

How the hell is a man's man like Anthony Wiener or Barney Frank, going to even look at this guy with the even the tiniest amount of respect.

Ahd he's been a cry baby before. This wasn't because he 'won' - it's because he's weak. It was just so over the top and well: Weak.

[Goblinmonger]

49. Wow

I thought he was clearly drunk, but the whole "men don't cry" meme can go away from society for all I care. I'm a male. 44 years old and I cry and I'm not weak. Lots of things move me (and not alcohol in Boehner's case) to tears: Good literature and my children doing well what makes them happy to name a couple. But I guess I'm just weak.

[disndat]

32. That kind of crying

is sure a sign of alcohol abuse.

[madmax]

39. Right, how does that go

The stages of drinking. ...lacromose, comatose. Or somthing to that affect.

[madmax]

35. k&r

[Gin]

38. hes scared shitless...now all eyes will be watching his crying ass

what a tool.

[JBoy]

40. Not smart of him. Tears aren't good for leather.

[SunnyBaudelaire]

42. he was drunk again

N/t

[LaurenG]

44. He is a very emotional guy and I don't like him so I had some pretty negative thoughts

about his leadership ability, a sort of oh good grief look what we have to do for another 2 years.

[GSLevel9]

45. yes it was pathetic.

Cantor might be considering a challenge.

[AC_Mem]

46. Sometimes when you drink *just* enough...

You cry.

Hang on everyone, we are in for a drunken, bumpy ride. God Help Us All.

[RoccoR5955]

47. He should do his crying at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

He really has a problem. It was quite clear that he was as drunk as a skunk.

[AllyCat]

48. He can finally make more money for himself and his cronies.

[felix_numinous]

51. USA!USA!USA! chants with a drunk at the podium

where have we seen this before? What a pathetic group they have become.

[Jade Fox]

52. He's gonna make the Pubs look really bad.....

is what I thought. What a jerk.

[GodlessBiker]

53. Musky. Times have changed.
