John Boehner: Smoke Gets in His Teary Eyes

Boehner, the weeper of the house, plays golf, and ingests merlot unmercifully; not necessarily in that order. But give the man credit, he ain't turned down an insurance, oil, or financial corporation check yet!

Tears well up if the parents of a sick child would be able to be insured so that the child can go see a doctor and recieve treatment. Why would americans expect such a crazy thing for all of us?

Seen enough alcoholics to know the weeping is associated with to much booze. Heaven help us he's only 2 heartbeats away from the presidency.

Even though the speaker of the house and I are of different political persuasions, in his defense I think that we should lay off the criticism of things that are personal, like crying smoking etc.
And deal with things of substance, the smoking is personal the information is out on the damage that it does to our bodies, and the crying I think we need more sentimental people in politics on both sides of the aisle, so just give him a towel and leave him a alone.

John Boehner has confessed to loving merlot. Wonder if there is a correlation with the amount of wine consumption and inappropriate show of emotions.

I am very worried that a man in such an important position exhibits such lack of control and has obvious symptoms and signs of a very serious mental illness known as chronic depression.

Nobody seemed to be so bothered when Bill "Ah hear yo pain" Clinton teared up. Then it was a "sensitive" president. LOL. The liberals are testing out all the nasty personal things they can say about republicans as they begin their campaigning. Go ahead. I have spent my forty voting years holding to my Independence. Obama/Pelosi/Reid have guaranteed that I will NEVER vote for a democrat again.

I like Boehner, and at least he doesn't hide his smoking like someone we know??tehe!!!

I am who I am......Popeye couldn't have said it better....having emotions and feelings are what being an American is all about. John Boehner is an American and he doesn't hide his background, his work history, his school records or his birth certificate. He was raised and schooled in American and aquired American values and was not raised in a foreign country with different values. I too get emotional with being proud of family and our national accomplishments and values. May we all strive to be as American as Speaker John Boehner.

Obama smokes. Let's write a whole story about that.
