A Brief Deliberation About Why John Boehner Is A Crying Baby

By Pete Phaedrus


Those who pay attention to politics have surely noticed that soon to be Speaker John Boehner is a crying baby. One asks whether this is a strategy meant to gain sympathy for his political goals, or if he is dangerously unstable. Either politics have changed so that it is now alright for men to cry, or the media is giving the Weeper of the House a free ride.

Considering the fact that Johnny will be the leader of Congress, some may feel that blubbering in public is somehow inappropriate. American citizens should ask if they are comfortable with the third person removed from possession of the nuclear football being inclined to uncontrollable mood changes.

Boehner has made a point of expressing his dedication to the American Dream, and has publicly shed tears whenever he mentions it. This guy breaks out in sobs when someone speaks about Americas children, yet can not bring himself to vote for jobs or benefits for the struggling parents of those children.

Whether the tears come sincerely from that hard heart, or if they act as a form of visual interference, disrupting the watchers ability to make critical judgments, is open to speculation. Crying has gained acceptance as a tactic for those who tell their adversaries to man up.

Blubbering Johnny's outbursts may have some connection to his fondness for alcohol or he may be on medication which causes emotional instability. As if Speaker Pelosi would be given a pass for crying, or Senator Muskie was considered unfit for office because he wept over remarks made about his wife. But macho right wing John can express his feminine side since his emotions are so grandly patriotic.

The cynical interpretation is that John displays the symptoms of a narcissist who sobs whenever he considers the odds that he overcame his comfortable white middle class background to attain the American Dream. But since his reasons for crying never seem to reflect the growing struggles of working people one may think John Boehner is a crying baby because his brain is fried from too much time in the tanning bed.
