Boehner gets emotional in Golf Channel interview (video)

Even golfing can be a tearjerker of a subject for Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), who’s known for frequently dispensing waterworks.

“I wanted to make sure that every kid had the same chance I did — an opportunity,” Boehner, with tears filling his eyes, says in a promotional spot for The Golf Channel show, “Feherty.”

Another clip from the program, which airs Aug. 3., shows Boehner telling host David Feherty about a photo of him and some companions that sits in his office, saying, “The three of us are talking about how easily we turn to tears.”

Boehner — who’s gotten misty-eyed at everything from State of the Union addresses to statue unveilings — said in a 2010 interview that he’s a “pretty emotional guy.”

Between this joker and Yeb maybe the GOP should be renamed The Crying Party

[Awgie]

Everywhere you look you see weak “non threatening” feminized “white males.” And the women, by contrast seem self assured and aggressive.

Masculinity is being siphoned out of the American Spirit.

Except for Donald!

[Tax-chick]

Maybe he’s menopausal. I could probably start crying over golf, if I started thinking about my late father and ...

‘Scuse me, I have to go blow my nose.

[Oak Grove]

Boehner’s crying is an obvious symptom of serious alcoholism.

[Farmer Dean]

Quick!Bring up the fainting couch,John’s having another jag.

[dfwgator]

What a Finocchio.

[laweeks]

He’s a sad drunk . . . very uncomfortable to sit next to one.

This is embarrassing. B12 deficiency, perhaps???

Got a good chuckle out of that one.

You’d think Bonehead would be embarrassed, but in the hyper-feminized environment of 0bama’s government, I guess it’s okay.

[Karl Spooner]

Unfit for duty.

[jpl]

Yep. The Feminazis are winning, big time.

[boycott]

That drunk SOB.

I know people that play golf with him. He’s burning cigarettes and drinking all day.

He is a clown show.

So true! Carly's a better man than Boehner!

[max americana]

I get emotional too on why Feherty didn’t strangle this idiot.

Boehner reminds me of a comedian from the 60s who was on a lot of talk shows, Rip Taylor, who would wear a red fright wig, pretend to be drunk and cry into a handkerchief. Only that Rip Taylor was funny and was only acting drunk.

[Enlightened1]

I don’t know what is more alarming?

1) The fact this drunk is in charge of the House of Representatives.

or

2) The fact that the majority of the Republicans in the House of Representatives thought Boehner the drunk is the best man for the job?

[VanDeKoik]

Bromhead makes Ed Miliband seem like Rambo.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Just what I was going to say. This guy definitely hits happy hour every day.
