After his wife told CBS' Leslie Stahl how much of a journey it has been for the family that her husband John Boehner went from nighttime janitor to Speaker of the House, the Congressman began to cry.

"You know what's happening over here," Stahl said, pointing at Boehner while tears begin to form.

"What set you off that time," a perplexed Stahl quizzed Boehner. "He cries all the time?" Stahl asked in complete wonderment.

"He's gone from mopping this floor (points to floor) to being Speaker of the House," Stahl said while Boehner was holding back tears.

"Welcome to America," a tearful Boehner replied to Leslie Stahl's bedazzlement of his tendency to cry while speaking about achieving the "American dream.

I thought Leslie Stahl was annoying in in this interview. . . . and her hair was horrible.

And what about that $2-whore lipstick. I'll swear she got some of it on her teeth. Yikes!

How many times did Bill Clinton shed a tear on camera?

>> The toughest man ever was Jesus and the Bible says that “he wept”’

No dice.

Boehner was not in control of himself.

Some guys are just criers. And it’s not always the wimps. Otto von Bismark was a crier.

Don’t any of you get teared up when Old Glory goes by or when a hymn at church reminds you of your parents? I think he is a humble man who appreciates the honor that his country has presented him. So far, he seems to be on track with dealing with a President who has no honor and dishonors his country.

60 minutes did a real hit piece on him. Boehner should never have agreed to do the interview. Couric redux.

One of the toughest guys that I ever knew cried quite often. And he was a WW2 vet who could rip just about any man's head off and spit down his neck if he chose to.

This is an issue only if we go grade school on it.

I agree with you. Election night was one thing, but now is another.

I love Glenn Beck dearly, and I accept him for who he is, despite a lot being made of his tears. But Beck is not in the same position as Boehner. Deal + tears + RINO = a very bad feeling about what may come next.

I remember how we waited and waited for Frist to pull the trigger on the “nuclear option,” and how disappointed we were when we realized it wasn't going to happen. I've got this feeling that left to his own devices, Boehner is going to leave us waiting at the altar and “common ground” America to death.

We need to pray very hard that either he rises up from his own RINOness, or the House steps up to replace him with a fighter.

Hasn’t our recent history taught you anything? He is a RINO.

EXACTLY! To me he is MAN who has worked hard and achieved a tremendous amount. IF it still brings him to tears....SO WHAT? IMO-it is Leslie who has the problem. And it is a BIG ONE.

I will take a man who tears up over something significant and profound that has happened in his life over a hard heart and a fussy, shallow 'quit crying' and act like I demand any day of the week. Especially in these times.

I'll take a glimpse of real any day of the week-which is WHY I LOVE, and I mean love, Sarah Palin and her intense love of our nation.

"You can act like a man! What's the matter with you? Is this how you've turned out? A Hollywood finocchio who cries like a woman?"

Doesn’t mean you have to cry about it. JUST BE CONSISTENT. If a liberal, let’s say Harry Reid, cried all the time you’d be laughing and hootin and hollering. It’s unseemly and I hope he gets a grip.
