Boehner gets teary amid threat of a government shutdown
Amid the threat of a looming government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner is getting emotional again.
Per ABC News's Jon Karl, the Republican leader, who is known for his tears, was updating the House GOP caucus this morning on the ongoing budget stand-off when his emotions got the best of him. As he was thanking fellow Republicans for sticking with him amid the tense negotiations, the GOP lawmakers rose to give him a standing ovation, prompting Boehner to weep.
I mean, come on. You gotta' love this guy. What a hoot. Losing it like this.
What is it the Republicans themselves would say, time and again recently? "Man up!"
Look at 'em--they've got John "The Weeper" Boehner, Sarah "The Quitter" Palin, Michelle "There's No Telling What Will Come Out of My Mouth" Bachmann and many more and then, for back up, they've got Glenn "I Also Get Teary and Crazy" Beck and the whole crew over at Faux News. It's not a short list.
If they weren't trying to wreck the country, I'd only love 'em.
Have a great day, y'all.
