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."

This is a signal for the start of the attacks on him. As always, whenever a normal person threatens their stranglehold on power, they roll out the slime machine.

That is a lie in itself. She cried when she was lying about the Tea Party, and how they reminded her about all the hate that Mayor Milk received when he was still alive.

My wonderful Christian 85 year old dad cries. He does not cry because he is a wuss. He cries because he loves us. He feels deeply and has led a wonderful life. Been married 65 years. And yes, He is still with my mother.

I can’t speak for Boehner or Pelosi, but sometomes cryin’ ain’t all that bad.

“It was really emotional seeing the results on TV. I don’t know what was more touching, John Boehner starting to cry or Nancy Pelosi trying to cry.” — Jimmy Fallon

Phony phaker;)

I never understood how so many people were unable to see through Billy Boy or why he still gets good press. It’s sickening.

I’m trying hard, but I can’t recall Pelosi ever showing any emotions other than those anger-related; even her ‘hammer march’ smile was based in anger

Angry people are not professional, either, Nancy Dearest, and quite frankly, I’d rather deal with someone who sheds sincere tears from time to time, because I am assured they in fact have a heart, than someone who hides behind their grandchildren to avoid dealing with reality.

Time to hand over the gavel, Nancy. I really, really, really want to watch your face when have to surrender your chair to Boehner.

I agree. It just seems counterprodctive on the Dems’ part. I guess maybe the libs love her.

After all the facelifts, if Pelosi cries, she has to pee.
