Blubbering Boner.
Boehner is the ONLY guy in the leadership that I like and mostly trust. I don’t really care if he cries more than Beck.
Blubbering Boner.

I hope he’s a better golfer than Obammy. at least they can share a cig after a round..
You know what makes me said?
You do.
Maybe we should just chug on over to Namby-Pamby land, where maybe we could find some self confidence for you, you Jack Wagon.
The GOP women have more cojones than the men.
Does he have an emotional problem or hormone issues? There is no excuse for a man to blubber during TV interviews unless there is something medical going on, in which case he should resign and let someone else serve.
It is shameful that the GOP labors under the delusion that the next guy gets the job because “it’s his turn.” That’s how losers like Denny Hastert wound up dragging the party down during his misbegotten speakership.
Which brings another thought. All of us fail at times to meet our own standards. Why do we expect perfection from our leaders? They aren't preternatural, they are just people like us (well, excluding most libs anyway). What is driving this illogical demand for all things perfect from all politicians?
A president must make over 100 million people feel that s/he is representing them fairly well in order to poll well and have ‘bully pulpit’ and legislative power. A Speaker of the House who can be painted as harsh and partisan will not be successful (NP, anyone?). Boehner was right to throw a little sugar at Obama on TV, as he will have plenty of chances to take his whacks too, and he has before. He's speaking to a mixed political audience, must avoid a possible gaffe, and said the right thing. When you are gracious to an opponent you give the impression that you are winning (See Reagan, President).
The fault finding and dismissal of people for the slightest deviation from ideological positions or for crying or some such has got to stop. Give me someone who doesn't agree with me on everything but is trustworthy and principled. I will take that over someone who is a perfect match to my thinking but is mainly out for service to self.
I am not talking about the Mike Castles of the Republican party here. An example: Larry Kudlow got heavily on Krauthammer about the tax deal, but he said very clearly that he thinks the Hammer is brilliant and a great man. They just disagree on that issue. That doesn't mean they write each other off over it.
How many friends would you have if you expected perfection from all of them? How many would still call you friend if they also demanded permanent perfection from you?
This Merlot is very good so my apologies for my rambling. I'm not crying though!
Personally I wish he would stop crying in public like this. I saw the commercial and he was practically sobbing. It made me uncomfortable. Boehner, you guys won there is nothing to be crying about.
You HAVE TO BE less than 50 years old!
If you are, you are probably ignorant of the adversities the people of this country have gone through...both financially and political.
I cry periodically because of the sacrifices of the younger people of this country and the corruption and inadequacies of the government.
To see a man of this stature come from mopping out a bar, emptying trash cans to make it through college and then making it to SOTH....well, a tear should be shed. He has achieved his “American Dream”.
Just this week I shed a tear for Special Operations solders who had given their lives for this country, knowing there are many who are ignorant of what this country really means to the individual citizen and the failures of the citizens to do their best to continue our unique experiment. I didn’t feel less a leader, and I have led thousands. My tears were in support of those who tried, did their best for their ideals, never knew me, but have my full support.
Mock him if you must, but the next time you look in the mirror, ask yourself, “Am I who I should be?”
Agree... I can’t stand to see a man cry on TV. It’s okay in private, but not out when everyone sees you. Thanks for this post. I was wondering if it was just me.
I thought you were saying a single advertisement lasted for 60 minutes.
