Boehner popped by the ol’ Fox News desk to repeat Republican talking points about the deficit and other boring political topics when Wallace got personal.
Macho man Chris Wallace confronted the Speaker about his crying, saying "It makes you look weak or strange." expect the usual excuses from a man who could walk by panhandling orphans with a dry eye. There seems to be no consistent way of predicting what will move him to tears. If he were a woman, we all know what questions he’d be fielding.
Boehner might have teared up if Wallace had persisted in his criticism of Boehner’s smoking habit. Boehner will brook no discussion of his affair with the butts, and showed rare passion in defense of his habit – and with so many Republican youngsters looking up to him! At this point he’s experiencing anger. Aren’t denial and acceptance down the line – after many tears?
