Joy BEHAR heckles BONER to "stop obstructing President OBAMA". He choke holds her.

[font size=5]John Boehner puts Joy Behar in a headlock[/font]

Joy Behar heckled Speaker of the House John Boehner to “stop obstructing President Obama” when she bumped into the Republican in a Hamptons restaurant.

Liberal comedienne and talk show host Behar tackled Boehner — who she dubbed “The Weeper of the House” after his waterworks in his famous “60 Minutes” interview — at Almond Restaurant in East Hampton on Saturday. ....

She said, “I couldn’t resist having some fun. I jumped up and told him to stop obstructing President Obama. I am sick of all this deadlock. Strangely, he replied, ‘I am Obama’s best friend.’ Then he put his arm around my neck and it looked like he was going to strangle me.” She added: “Boehner had quite a grip. For a guy who cries a lot, he’s physically quite strong.” ....

She grilled John McCain in 2008 on “The View.” “I got into trouble when I confronted him over ads he was running,” she told us. “Then I roasted Chris Christie. In April, she said, “When I first heard that he was accused of blocking off three lanes on the bridge, I said, ‘What the hell is he doing, standing in the middle of the bridge?’?” Christie didn’t say anything to me afterwards, he just slithered away.”

folks will vote these guys in again and again. What about the optics, how come not a word about the precious "optics" with Boehner? Why is he vacationing as the world is in crisis, is he insensitive and out of touch? Freaky media would be all over it if it was Obama...truly America is a country enslaved to its corporate media in turn enslaved to the corporate ads now pouring in at election season, thank you Citizens United.

America IS a dictatorship in so many ways.

That is the face of years of booze and cigarettes .... could his eyes be any more watery?

Good to see that he has found some time for a vacation after his month long vacation in
August.

Most likely shmoozing with some money bags one percenter who has a home in the Hamptons.

Too bad they didn't get a pic of who was at his table, it could be interesting.

Eyes
When people drink excessively, it tends to show in their eyes. The eyes may have an inability to focus or shift abruptly and may sometimes become glazed or watery

Capillaries
Excessive drinking can result in broken capillaries upon the face, or veins that appear to be spidery in form (i.e. spider veins).

Flushing
In many people, especially in Asian descent, facial flushing can occur, as well as on the cheeks and neck. This accounts for the "red face" that many alcoholics seem to have on a daily basis.

Even if it was taken of a couple of, seemingly, inebriated friends.
