Boehner says he cries because he cares so much

WASHINGTON (AP) — Asking House Speaker John Boehner why he cries so much is one thing. If you want to turn his tears to mild annoyance, bring up his smoking.

Boehner tells "Fox News Sunday" that he wears his emotions on his sleeve and that's why he tears up so easily. He also says he's not going to apologize for getting emotional about things he believes are important.

Besides being quick to tear up, Boehner is also known around Washington as a heavy smoker. When asked why he doesn't quit, the top House Republican responded sharply that, yes, it's a bad habit, but that he chooses to smoke.

As far as being asked again and again about his smoking, Boehner says with a smile, "Leave me alone."

1. He cares all right!
For big business and corporations and those who contribute to GOP reelection campaigns. Other people-- the middle and working classes, the poor, not so much.

11. Wow.... Boner, you think YOU care...
take a look at some of the faces in the videos coming out of Egypt today. Now THEY care... they really care. And they want to make better lives for the actual people, not the Fat Egyptian Cats.

I care, too. I'm not crying, tho. I'm just pissed!

14. He cried about everything EXCEPT talking about the horrible shooting of Rep. Giffords.
You would think that would have been something worth tearing up over.
