John Boehner Crying Could Be Useful Political Tool

Politics Daily:

Ohio Congressman and House Speaker-elect John Boehner is our town crier. Not a cry-baby crier, but an 'It might be politically expedient to show my softer side' kind of crier.

It looks like a case of Emotional Lability to me. Emotional Lability is a condition of excessive emotional reactions and frequent mood changes more marked and intense than the existing circumstances might be expected to produce. It occurs secondary to neurologic disease or brain injury and quite common after strokes.

I think all politicians should be tested for everything in the book, just like fast food employees.

I really think some of these blurred eyed, slured voice, crying politicians ought to have a breatherlizer test for Alcohol the minute they walk in/when they leave! NO alcohol permitted!

He should be investigated and so should a lot of other ones in Congress and if we had any real PRESS today that might happen but our Press is talk shows thats all and not the least bit interested in real NEWS. Every thing today is a scam and that includes our press. Congress is all one big scam any more and its all about money for them to hell with voters and tax payers. Let see Republicans know no and lets do away with Social Security. I would love one of them to tell me why they resent someone like me working 55 years and still going and paying my money in getting a SS Check?? I say its cause its money they can not pocket and they are pocketing a lot I for one believe

Does this sound like our Speaker-To-Be?

"An individual who is addicted to alcohol may become severely depressed or angry when suffering from withdrawal. Snappy verbal responses, irritability or excessive crying are all possible after an addict has been deprived of alcohol." Taken from TheAlcoholTreatments.com

Yesterday, a guest head on Fox's Megan Kelly show suggested that the reason that Speaker Pelosi didn't cry was that the doctor giving her botox had paralized her tear glands.  While I was terribly offended by that statement, (and to her credit, even Meghan seemed taken back) perhaps this talking head could give the same suggestion to Boenher.

Boehner must be taking lessons from Beck, and it seems like some are going for this stage craft. This man, like Beck doesn't care about his country as a whole but the ones who hold the most wealth. That's what is important to them and nothing else. It shows with every action they take from defending big oil, health insurance, huge corporations, and wanting to cut off any American who only needs a hand up. Where is the proof that this man, or any republican for that matter cares about anything else besides cold, hard cash?

It is an act! John cares about John! No man that I know cries almost on cue unless it is and act or there is something physically or mentally wrong with them. Just like know tans orange naturally.
