Boehner cries a lot too. I guess being a sissy and showing it appeals to the natural RINO voter base. [Note: I cry too - over real things - but not over admiring my dad.]
It's one thing to cry over the death of a relative or someone close, the death of the dog at the end of Old Yeller (or any movie with a dog, since the dog always dies), a cancer diagnosis, watching a fire destroy years of work, holding the hand of someone severely injured or burned and talking them through the pain, and similar big/tragic events. It's quite another to cry over the things that make Jeb, Boehner, and other liberals cry.
