Thank Allah that the botoxed doe-eyed liberal Nancy Pelosi is out as speaker. Now we have a Republican cry-baby in her place. At least now "Saurday Night Live" will have someone to satirize other than Pelosi and Palin. Who picks these politicians. It certainly is not me. These are not the people I would choose to govern my country. That being said, I hope my Republican party can get us back on track despite the clowns. A little harsh, I will admit, but it is hard to argue with my point. Hopefully, the new political construct will listen to the people and stop playing their political games. Can't some one go to Washington and do the bidding of the people and not the bidding of their party.

I won't defend Boehner, but I will point out that General Patton would cry at the drop of a hat. Read the biographies about him. He would get very emotional, although not necessarily about his soldiers KIA. I will judge Boehner's manhood by how well he holds onto conservative principles.
Slappy's wife Kamber, who's an ob/gyn doctor, commented, 'I say this in all seriousness, maybe his testosterone levels are low and his estrogen levels are peaking. This may also be the sign of a person with a lot of passion as well. I like him!' ....thank you, Kamber
Hmmmmm...... on second thought, I'd probably cry too if I just inherited a business that is incurring a TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN DEBT and everybody expected me to fix it. :'( :'( :'( :'(
My mama always said to wary of a crocodile in a Brooks Brothers' suit! ;) ;)

Good point. And there was that other fella who cried.... what was the name? Oh yeah, Jesus Christ! Appears Boehner is in good company.
Seems folks forget about his attempt to stand up to the raping of America with ObamaCare when he told it like it was before that vote in congress was shoved down our throats.

I hope you don't judge Boehner because he shed a tear. I carried the radio for the tuffest, bravest man to hump a hill in Vietnam and I saw him cry when he lost one of his "boys". Does that mean he was a cry-baby ??? Shit !!! 99.9 % of people couldn't have carried his jock strap !!!!!
Warph 98% of what I know about Patton I learned from George C. Scott. I remember that he did get demoted for slapping one of his soldiers for crying. He also, used to cry when taps was played. I don't remember hearing that he cried over the small stuff. I hope you can recommend a good biography so that I can educate myself further.
We may need Dr. Kamber's help for Jarhead. I fear I have triggered a PTSD memory for him as had to endure watching his superior officer cry in Vietnam storming that hill. Jarhead while you did not say that you cried, I am sure that Dr. Kamber can help you see that it would have been very normal in that situation. Quite different from the times we have seen the Weeper of the House cry.
Skruzich, maybe Dr. Kamber can convince you to stop kissing those goats. Do you know what diseases you could pass on to them? :laugh:
Patriot, yes "Jesus wept". I see you went to Sunday school. (Don't get bent out of shape, I am just yanking your chain)
Crying doesn't mean a person is a immature. It means the person is in touch with their emotions, which is a sign of maturity.
You misunderstood what I said sodbuster---I said I saw my Plt. Comm, shed a tear when one of his boys was KIA. He never cried when he assaulted a hill or the bunkers he took out single handed. You are right though---I might need Dr. Kamber because I have PTSD. One of the symptoms of PTSD is to be homicidal and when someone "slights" my beloved Scar in any manner it gives me the urge to kill them. Warph, ask Slappy if his bride will see me as a patient. I feel a real bad case of PTSD a com'n on !!

Jarhead. I understood what you said. Boehner's crying was nothing near someone crying for their boys KIA. I would never slight your beloved Scar from the Vietnam era. I would say that my Scar is bigger(caliber) than yours and I have used mine more recently than you probably have. All teasing aside on my part. Maybe I need to talk to Dr. Kamber too. What happened to the good ol days when a man could just stuff down his feelings, without crying, until he dropped dead from a heart attack caused by stress and whiskey.

Problem is sometimes you don't drop dead. 6 heart attacks n counting.....and i don't get benefit of whiskey anymore.
Did you see it he couldn't get through his induction as Speaker of the House without crying and wiping his nose with with his handkerchief. Much of what Dariagirl, Dania and I have posted on this has been mostly tongue in cheeck. I just can't understand why we can't find someone in Politics that doesn't make a great character for Saturday Night Live. (Pelosi, Palin, Boehner). I do like what he said today in his speech, but I am very skeptical that things will change. If my Republican party does not use this and actually accomplish some major things, we get Obama for another 4 years. ( I still can't figure out how he beat the Clinton machine.) That is the end of the Weeper of the House thread as far as I am concerned.

Good !!
LMAO Jar! I think it's very admirable that Boehner isn't afraid to show his emotions at being 3rd in command! I'd cry too! I think he's a great person and his life story is very uplifting and inspiring! So, that would be John Boehner SPEAKER of the House!--Jen
Agree. Much rather have him than others.
