| Description | Our future Speaker of the House John Boehner isn't afraid to cry in public.
He readily admits to being an emotional man. His friends and colleagues all know it and accept it and he's not about to change.
But what does he cry about?
During his victory speech on Election Night, Boehner teared up as he spoke about being a working class stiff who has been chasing the American Dream all his life. Now that he's gotten hold of the brass ring, however, the rest of us should realize that he has allied himself with a bunch of revolutionaries who seek to destroy that Dream by getting rid of "safety nets" and services that have helped the working class lead a decent comfortable life.
"I'm a regular guy with a big job" said Boehner off-handedly to Lesley Stahl in a "60 Minutes" interview where she cooed and giggled over him like a schoolgirl with a crush. She found the man likable because he was so "authentic." She predicts the public will like him, too, probably because he represents the epitome of the twentieth century log cabin story. |
