1. You can't make this shit up!

[mtnsnake]

7. No you can't. I watched it with my own eyes. This guy needs major psychiatric help

as do so many other of this country's finest specimens from the Republican ranks. Lots of men weep from time to time, but it has nothing to do with that. This guy is undeniably crazy.

[flamingdem]

32. He's third in line to the presidency, lord help us nt

[Timbuk3]

2. Cryboner

I hope to see more tears from him.

[SHRED]

3. Can you imagine if Nancy Pelosi did this?

Imagine what the press would say.

Frankly, I think this guy is unstable.

[OhioBlue]

10. exactly. just disgusting. n/t

[Bobbieo]

4. OMG. What an asshole! He is disgusting and to think he is next in line for the presidency after

the VP.

[Kali]

5. OMG are you serious?

I have been known to be overemotional and do shit like that in public, but my GOD I'm now about to be the Speaker of the US House of Representatives!

LOON!

[DJ13]

6. The GOP has a leaky boner!

[Bobbieo]

9. Does anyone believe the Boner is going to handle 'impeachment' the same way Pelosi did?

on the table - off the table - whatever.

[JoePhilly]

41. A weepy ORANGE Bohner.

[Whisp]

54. LOL!

[butterfly77]

56. Lol!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[msongs]

8. he does it because it is effective n gets him what he wants. dems should try effective stuff nt

[unblock]

11. the right-wing is not effective because of this. they are effective in spite of this.

they are effective because they have oodles of money with which to bribe and control.
greed makes people overlook a whole lot.

this is why democrats need to have rhodes scholars and super geniuses to have a viable candidate, whereas republicans can have boner, palin, shrub, reagan, bachman, and the list goes on.

[TomCADem]

21. Without Fail, Some Turns A Republican Fail Into A Democratic Fail

The blame the Democrats, and give Republicans a free pass meme lives!

[catgirl]

59. Bingo!

[Bluerthanblue]

12. he does seem pretty emotionally unstable- the clips they showed

of him yelling at congress then switching back to his weeping were unsettling.

I'd seen the preview of him crying in church, and wondered what the heck could have gotten him so upset- When I saw it, it made no sense at all. He was asked about his easy tears, he acknowledged them- and said that he used to "do schools" but can't anymore- asked why- said "it's the kids" choked up really badly, then said that he just "wanted them to have the same chance at the American dream that he had".

That scene left me wondering what is UP with him- Something isn't ok.

I don't have anything about people crying, man OR woman, but he seems really emotionally labile...

31. Alcoholic? It can be a sign of alcoholism.

[boppers]

35. Weepy drunk, or over-emo sober, same difference.

Those of us on the paths of managing the drug know it well.

Dude needs some moderation:

[Gman]

40. Bingo! Glen Beck too

[Hard2believe]

46. the charge

that this may be a symptom of alcoholism is grasping at straws. It is more a sign of an individual that portrays a strong exterior until situations like these appear. Approval is what he is crying over. Being constantly reminded that he is great.
Then his wife talks about him mopping the floors. Give me a break.

This is still Mr NO and anyone that falls for these theatrics is an idiot. Hannity, O'Reilly,Limbaugh and every other talking head would defend him as being sincere but, as another poster suggested, if this were Nancy Pelosi or any democrat for that matter they would be shown to be weak.

[butterfly77]

57. How about...

InsaNNITY:rofl: :rofl:

[nevergiveup]

13. Pure and simple, the man needs help.

[Clio the Leo]

14. lol, now to be fair, that is NOT why he cried....

..... he cried for two reasons, one at thinking about poor kids and wanting them to "experience the American dream like he had" and the second time was when he wife said how much she loved and supported him.

:spank: Behave Proey! lol

[SHRED]

15. And another cry to get TARP passed

[ruggerson]

17. a good, solid Christian man

who weeps for wholesome reasons ;)

[guruoo]

16. Pathetic. nt

[bluestateguy]

18. How long before we see the Newt Cybaby redux on the NY Daily News again?

Remember this?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

52. It took 18 posts.

There's no institutional memerory.

[redirish28]

19. Is he going to be like this the whole 2 years he will have power?

[Life Long Dem]

34. And then there was last month right after the midterm election win.

[applegrove]

20. Boehner tears up every time he thinks about the american dream meaning when

he thinks about where he came from. from poor to rich and powerful. What about all of those people who will not get rich and powerful? What about them? Do they deserve tears?

[alphafemale]

22. srzzlY???

He cried because his feelings were hurt???

that is SO asking for some flaming dogshit to be thrown at his face.

fucking loser

:rofl:

[JI7]

23. i wonder what DU name he posts under

i know there are wingnut trolls on here.

[Pisces]

24. He does it because he is a depressed drunk and he can't stop himself.

[dennis4868]

25. Why do I not see...

him cry for the unemployed?

[JI7]

26. i hope he cries during the SOTU

[WiffenPoof]

27. We Should Make A Drinking Game Out Of It n/t

[toddwv]

28. Glenn Bech and the John "Orange Julius" Boehner have alot in common.

I mean that in a bad way.

[EC]

29. He's pretty famous in D.C. as an alchie

and just like my late alchie husband he cries alot...especially when he perceives someone picking on him...


Never did trust my husbands judgement (and it's a good thing I didn't) I certainly don't trust his...

[Historic NY]

30. 2yrs of this blubbering mess...........thanks

[flamingdem]

33. he he I think there is ONE thing DU members can ALL agree on!

Boehner is totally lame.

[Zoeisright]

36. Christ, what a fucking little crybaby. I'll bet he uses Vicks, just like BlecKKK (sic).

I hate these asshole repuke tools.

[jmowreader]

37. If he's really that color, there are products available that will help him

Is there some sort of a disease that will turn you orange?

If he's actually orange and not just a victim of bad makeup choices, I would think John has some female staffers who have friends who are Avon or Mary Kay reps, who could pay a discreet visit to the Boner offices and correct his problem for him.

[burning rain]

38. God, what a contemptible, self-indulgent little man Boehner is.

He routinely cries when talking about how (dearie me!) he had to work some menial jobs in the past. I have the deepest disdain for adults who cry easily, and heartily regret seeing this overgrown infant assume to such a exalted position as Speaker of the House.

[Gman]

39. Cry me a f*****g river

[Kdillard]

42. It is going to be a long two years.

[harun]

49. We're going to get some seriously batsh*t crazy legislation coming out

of the House.

[Ikonoklast]

43. He must have seen that the price of Scotch was going up.

First the greens fees at the country club went up, now this!!

Make it stop!!!

For the love of God MAKE IT STOP!!!


Boo hooo hooo....

[mikekohr]

44. This Asshole and his party's economic policies have delivered 9 of the last 10 recessions, nearly

all of our national debt, have crushed job creation and have come in a distant second to Democratic Economic achievment. That makes me want to cry.

[treestar]

45. I disrespect him, too.

I wonder if that would make him cry.

[Gin]

47. crying like he does could be a signal of a nervous breakdown....

and the stress of being speaker may speed it up.

[oasis]

48. Blubbering Bonehead Boehner.

:eyes:

[Marnie]

50. Maudling state of Alcoholism

[GoCubsGo]

51. Oh joy. Another booze-addled asshole with power.

Glad I didn't watch. I can't afford to replace my TV after throwing a brick through the screen after that vomitrocious display. What a fucking ninny. Shit, President Obama would have died of dehydration before he was even inaugurated had he cried every time that hypocritical, thin-skinned puddle of puke disrespected him.

[Whisp]

53. Orange Boner should quit and do commercials:
