Boehner is already crying.

?

1. I think he started weeping when he had that little sit down with the Pope

And wtf with his "Good Luck" statement, to the Pope??

[ChisolmTrailDem]

2. I would be too. I get very emotional at times like these. He's still a dick, though. nt

[madaboutharry]

3. I suppose for someone who is a Catholic that this

moment would be emotional. I think we should give him some slack. Just for this moment.

[treestar]

5. Boner is Catholic?

Another downside to the Church!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

6. Yes, he's Catholic. nt

[saturnsring]

17. any boner can call themselves a catholic

[restorefreedom]

11. i am giving him a pass

but just for today

[bigwillq]

4. Nah, he just did an 8-ball

That's why he keeps wiping his nose.

[CTyankee]

7. I just told my husband "OMG, Boner just blew his nose right behind the Pope!"

That Boner, you can't take him anywhere...embarrassing...

[Orrex]

8. Nothing worst than an embarrassing Boehner with a public discharge

[CTyankee]

9. Joe was wiping his eyes a bit, but not blowing his nose...

10. Is Boehner Feeling Guilty?....

Are all his lies and deceit catching up with him? He knows better if he is a Catholic yet he has stuck it to the American People through his Party. Could this experience with the Pope make him a better representative of the People than the 1%ers that pull his chain and he caters to? Will we see a different John Boehner after this?

12. I honestly believe it is just the bright lights that make him tear up. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

13. WTF

I guess he is thinking about other stuff.

Maybe he should take the words to heart with his flock screwing with people.

[sorefeet]

14. Boehner is in a state of alcoholic

depression. Alcohol is a depressant. He has little to no control over his emotions. A good stiff drink and you would see an instant happy change. He is a weak man, alcohol owns him. Been there.

[libodem]

16. Pretty sure that is exactly the truth of it

And I have no love of Bayneer. But I teared up when he did

I noticed Joe looked sideways at him before they sat down to try and catch a millisecond of eye contact, for a brief connection of solidarity, but was rebuffed. Bonehead looked straight ahead or down.

Not a bit of charitable courage or forgiveness in his shady soul. He needs a good confession and penance: 2 dozen, 'Our Fathers' and as many, 'Hail Marys', and to give up his liquor for Lent.

[tavernier]

15. I honestly felt sorry for him

The teabaggers have him strung as tight as a piano wire and his nerves must be shot. Crying at events like these is not unusual, but he couldn't stop. He looked like a man in the middle of an emotional and nervous breakdown.

18. I watched with my 86 year old mother

As soon as she saw Boehner she said "he wants a drink."

19. Uggh.

Uggghhhhhhhhhhh.

This guy is third in the line of succession? Such incredible weakness.

Leave Brittany alone!
