Saw that preview .. glad he’s not like the ‘ice
cube,’ but not thrilling that flaming lib Lesley
Stahl is comforting him. Will not be reported
well.
Men and tears- now there’s a topic!
It can be endearing- depending on the occasion. It should, however, be rare and heartfelt.
Gay men get a pass.
Sometimes a man can be either dead inside or prone to rage- (yes, so can some women- not a sexist comment) a few tears would be beneficial for them.
John Boehner is quite attractive in a 1970’s kind of way (don’t ask me what that means- I can’t explain it!) so I’ll just have to wait and see what the tears were about.
Thinking of GWB when he wept sometimes (and his dad, at the drop of a hat) vs. The One- whom I’ve never seen shed a tear...I’d pick a Bush type guy over The One any day.

Rep. Boehner, a famously emotional man, cried several times during interviews, on topics such as his family and his principles.

BOEHNER: We have to govern. That’s what we were elected to do.
STAHL: But governing means compromising.
BOEHNER: It means working together.
STAHL: It also means compromising.
BOEHNER: It means finding common ground.
STAHL: Okay, is that compromising?
BOEHNER: I made it clear— I am not going to compromise on my principles, nor am I going to compromise—
STAHL: What are you saying?
BOEHNER: —the will of the American people.
STAHL: You’re saying, “I want common ground, but I’m not going to compromise.” I don’t understand that. I really don’t.
BOEHNER: When you say the word “compromise— “
STAHL: Yeah.
BOEHNER: a lot of Americans look up and go, “Oh, oh, they’re going to sell me out.” And so finding common ground— I think (NOISE) makes more sense.
