Amid the threat of a looming government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner is getting emotional again.

Per ABC News's Jon Karl, the Republican leader, who is known for his tears, was updating the House GOP caucus this morning on the ongoing budget stand-off when his emotions got the best of him. As he was thanking fellow Republicans for sticking with him amid the tense negotiations, the GOP lawmakers rose to give him a standing ovation, prompting Boehner to weep.

"Yes," a person at the private meeting tells ABC. "He cried, but only briefly."

“The only Republicans who have any balls are the women. The men may be chestbeaters on the election trail, but when it comes to the warpath, they are cowardly eunuchs.”

Exactly the Capons cluck,like Bush curling up in a ball and not fighting back,unless it was to slam us, over his immigration crapola.

Yeah, well go ahead and cry but don't cave. Obama's not crying. In fact...there's an article about what Obama's doing while you cry... Obama's Working On His Campaign Budget Instead Of Government Budget

YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN! *SLAP* What's the matter with you? Is this what you've become, a Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman? "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?" What is that nonsense? Ridiculous!

“too many “3 cocktail lunches”...He is not unstable...he is a drinker”

I don’t know but I’m not going to argue with you because maybe Tammy Faye has a slight lisp but I’ve noticed him slurring a bit myself. If you cannot control your emotions to the point of conducting business like an adult then you need to get another line of work. I was in a pressure cooker job for 17 years and if I had broken down and cried I would have been eaten alive. The whole thing is unseemly.

Our country is on the brink of collapse and the Speaker of the House is either boo hooing in his hanky or telegraphing that they are going to cave in on the debt ceiling. Its insane. I’m about of a mind to vote for Trump.

Yes, the managed media puts their spin on these kinds of things. The appeal seems to be for a base of Americans that do not research issues. Fiscal conservatives, regardless of the social conviction; see through this theater. Stop spending what is not there. Taxed Enough Already!

For petes sake Boehner, act like a man.

“I see his continual weeping as a symptom of excessive alcohol abuse. He looks the part...and his emotions betray him......too many “3 cocktail lunches”...He is not unstable...he is a drinker.”

IMO, you are correct.

Give the Speaker’s gavel to Ed Royce (R-CA).

He’s an adult who did EXCELLENT work on getting Viktor Bout into Federal custody and away from the Russians.
