Pelosi: Boehner is 'known to cry' By Emily Goodin - 11/19/10 01:18 PM ET
Incoming Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said incoming Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is "known to cry."
"You know what? He is known to cry. He cries sometimes when we’re having a debate on bills. If I cry, it’s about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics — no, I don’t cry. I would never think of crying about any loss of an office, because that’s always a possibility, and if you’re professional, then you deal with it professionally," Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times magazine.
She noted: "I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they’re about to face."
She was also asked about the differences between men and women in politics.
"I was the first woman speaker. It didn’t get that much play. And I’m not a publicity seeker, so it was OK with me. Boehner, before the election, they had him on the cover of Newsweek. Now he’s on the cover of Time, and women are coming to me and saying, 'Is the job less important when a woman holds it?'
"My point is that when a man holds the job, the press seems to view it as more worthy of that kind of attention. But when a woman — even though it was historic — holds the job, they view it as less important. We have to dispel the notion that it’s not as big a job when a woman has it," she said in a Q&A with the magazine.
She also defended her decision to run for minority leader: "Well, don’t forget that I led the party into the strong victories of ’06 and ’08. And now we are prepared to win again."
Dried up old hags have no tears.
Every time I do my income taxes, I cry.
Pelosi’s lips are moving so we know she’s lying
Hey, when I look at what Pelosi has tried to do to our country I cry too...
You have to be human to cry.
Nancy, go drink your Botox.
So....he’s not a stupid, bitter old hag-bitch?
She may not cry, but she sure can whine.
(ps, she's also insane, or just thinks everybody has no memory. Nancy and her giant gavel were on the front page and first minute of every newspaper and TV broadcast in the land.)
Jealous Nancy?
Stretch Pelosi, giving “Epic Fail” a whole new level.
SFNan makes me cry.
I laughed at your post........then I cried.
You also have to care.
I’d cry too if I had to deal with Pelosi. Tears of RAGE.
I bet he bawled his eyes out election night, huh, Nancy?
Better a man who can than a woman who can’t.
Pelosi is known to LIE.
Thanks, Nancy. Still considerate of the opposition, I see.
Bipartisanship, Commie style.
