Crying on camera is the last refuge of a coward – The View mocks ‘Weeper of the House’ John Boehner

That John Boehner has emotional problems is obvious. He cries to gain leverage over people’s sympathies to advance his causes. He doesn’t cry for the ordinary American; he cries for himself. He is a selfish, manipulative jerk. If Michelle Obama cried on camera, or Nancy Pelosi for that matter, they would be vilified in the most sexist, raw terms by the right.

Remember when Hillary Clinton had tears in her eyes during the nomination process for the presidency? She was crucified by not just the right but many on the left, too. You just don’t cry on camera – male or female – to gain sympathy. It is cheap theatrics and the sign of shady ethics and weak governance.

But Boehner, according to the right winger on The View’s panel, is ‘a fine man’ who is ‘emotional’. Much of the right wing shares this same view. Let me get this straight: a man crying is fine; of course men cry. But crying on camera is the last refuge of a coward.

John Boehner has shown in his career that he cares naught for the everyday man and he cares less about making his country a better place. He is a stubborn, vain politician whose only concern is the advancing of his own agenda while destroying any progress for regular folks advanced by the opposition party. In other words, he’s just another asshole from Ohio.
