I'm not too sure about this breaking down stuff... Boehner gets really emotional over the most mundane of topics... I can only imagine how he broke down while watching Old Yeller dying as a kid.
Sensitive guy perhaps. I'll personally buy his supply of Kleenex if he does what he says he will.
On a side note your avatar is messing me up. I was wondering why I was not blocked to comment until I took a closer look and realized the author was not who I assumed it to be.
I understand and respect that kind of emotion, when it relates to our country or serving it.
I tear up every time I hear the National Anthem, have for as long as I can remember. Usually, its over in a minute & I'm OK. My wife found a vid on YouTube a couple of months ago which was nothing but about a dozen different clips of the anthem being sung or played by various artists, each the full version. I couldn't stop crying through the whole damn thing, had to be half an hour.
I guess its alright to get emotional, but a speaker of the House should be somewhat emotionally stable. I would like to see Boehner fall to pieces as Old Yeller gets shot. That scene hit me pretty hard and I guess Boehner would be inconsolable.
There's a difference between 'emotional' and 'emotionally stable', at least in my mind. He's both, if you ask me.
You are falling for the MSM and democrats latest attack points. They could not attack him for his integrity, so they had to try to make him out to be a girly man. He has issued a sniffle or 2 in his time, but he is hardly a crier.
Then hurry up and buy the kleenex. Oh unfortunately what he will do is only what he told those on K Street he would do, so if you don't come from K Street you might buy some kleenex for yourself as well.
Glad you're in the inner circle, and got the memo. Didn't you liberals cry that the Democrats needed time to "clean" up Bush's mess? The only difference is most of them still blame Bush, while they poured gasoline on burning Rome. No, sorry I won't be giving Boehner that much time, or leeway. BTW hanky for you? Pelosi withdrawals must be a bear. I hear one must kick her out of the majority to find what she's all about.
Agreed.
Just because someone is not good at hiding their emotions does not mean they are overly emotional, out of control emotionally, or otherwise deficient in the arena of self-control.
In fact, I think an inability to hide one's emotions indicates a generally honest individual. I mean really, what do you prefer, Pelosi's plastic lunatic grin or Boehner's teary eyes?
