It needs to be said, if Pelosi was the EMOTIONAL WRECK that John Boehner is she'd have been . . .

[wndycty]

. . .run out of office. Seriously, this is crazy.

[BrklynLiberal]

1. Hey..don't you know IOKIYAR?????

[Supersedeas]

34. what other explanation would account for the Media's treatment

[dsc]

2. try to imagine if Barney Frank were as emotional as Boehner

it wouldn't be pretty.

[malaise]

3. They're all mad

You can't be screaming about deficits and give the rich a tax cut.

[inna]

30. they're not "mad", they're greedy and evil

[a kennedy]

4. can just hear the faux clan.....he's so human...so caring...

kiss my ass...... :puke: :mad: :puke: :mad: :puke: :mad: :puke: :mad: :puke: :mad:

[spartan61]

13. And yet Faux made a big deal about it when Hillary became

somewhat emotional during the primaries.

[asdjrocky]

5. He's a drunk.

Drunks cry. Some drunks cry more than others.

[emulatorloo]

6. Oh crap is he blubbering again? I must have missed it.

[BeyondGeography]

7. Gawd, he's crying yet again

[chelsea0011]

8. He's blubbering again. Holy shit. You are right Pelosi would be

a laughing stock of nonstop media coverage.

[Cosmocat]

15. She would be run out of politics ...

ANY D would be run out of politics for it, frankly ...

The media lets the right wing make Nancy Pelosi out to be some massive evil characture while they try to paint Boehner as some kind of average guy ...

More of the same ...

[RandomThoughts]

9. Could be the stress.

I hope he feels better, could be a bigger sadness, good hopes for him.

[jaxx]

10. He's an emotional wreck.

And that is going to lead the House of Representatives.

[Bombero1956]

11. I got the sense that Leslie should've told him to man up

In fact I think Leslie is more of a man than Boehner. What a blubbering asshole.

[chelsea0011]

12. Now, that would have been funny.

[monmouth]

16. In a pre-show segment she was asked about his crying and she said

she thought he came off as authentic and that she really, really, liked him...

[galloglas]

14. Who, with adequate credentials, can answer this ??

My own notion is that Boehner's emotional reactions are stemming either from some physical disorder (endocrine, whatever) or from something in the Physician's Desk Reference (the compendium of all psychiatric disorders). Perhaps I am wrong. But something is needed to explain it, I think.

Are there any health care professionals out there who could weigh in with ideas?

[redirish28]

17. You are right. Seriously I have to wonder if there is some chemical in-balance

First of all the Orange color second of all the crying at the drop of a hat.

[CakeGrrl]

18. Now THERE is someone who needs to "man up".

It's gonna be interesting.

As the President said, now he'll have to actually GOVERN instead of being a bomb-thrower from the sidelines. It's easy to criticize and insult and posture; now it's his turn to PRODUCE.

[kentuck]

19. Ain't it the truth?

totally in need of therapy.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

20. no wonder his wife stays in Ohio.

[blue neen]

21. I'd give just about anything to hear Hunter S. Thompson's take on Boehner.

It would be classic.

[kentuck]

23. That sobby bastard...

if he was anywhere else in our society would be institutionalized.

[blue neen]

25. If Boehner was actually able to grasp what life is like for those who have been institionalized,

he would truly have a subject to cry about. John Boehner now has every advantage in the world, yet there are millions in this country who are poor, sick, disadvantaged, and who have no one to advocate for them...and the Republicans just pretend like those citizens don't exist. Those are the people that Lesley Stahl should be concentrating her time on.

Boehner gets very emotional, yet Mitch McConnell never shows any emotion at all...his face is a mask. It's quite telling that the two biggest representatives of the Republican party show emotions in the extreme.

Now, that's scary.

[Bombero1956]

22. my guess is that with the problems we have as a nation

and the Republican's inability to solve them Boehner is going to need a boxcar full of tissue. I also think that after a while this tendency to turn on the water works will get old with the American people who have way more to cry about than a powerful politician who doesn't get his way.

[Canuckistanian]

24. If petty DOMESTIC issues make him blubber like a baby

How is he going to deal with Al-Qaeda?

[wndycty]

29. Poor guy

:kick:

[Mira]

26. I say it again:

stages in a drunks day/life/existence:

Verbose - Lacrimose - Comatose

Let us pray the last comes before we expect it and it sweet and restful.

[DeadEyeDyck]

27. K&R

[Initech]

28. Agree x 10000000000000000

[wndycty]

31. Monday morning kick

:kick:

[Vinca]

32. If Bin Laden has satellite television in his cave,

he's going to have all kinds of laughs over the Speaker of the House blubbering every 10 seconds. Huh! He blubbers about the American Dream he's stealing from the rest of us.

[lunatica]

33. Anyone who is the wreck the Boner is should be run out of office. Man or woman.

But I get your point and agree with it.
