Why hasn't Boehner cried about Giffords?

[Still a Democrat]

As easily as he cries and all.

[Skittles]

1. he only cries about himself

[Bluzmann57]

2. Because he sucks?

Because he sucks.

[lunatica]

3. Watch him carefully. He only cries in self-pity

[mrcheerful]

4. Yep SOP for an addictive type, the only remorse they are ever show is

self pity. Drunks will cry rivers of tears about how bad life is for their children while sucking every spare dime the family has at his favorite watering hole without a thought that maybe his kids have it so bad might be his drinking up his entire pay check.

5. Brilliant question. Actually it ought to be a bumper sticker.

:applause:

6. SNL nailed it: He CRIES for his alcohol-dementia, DON'T cry for others

It was hilarious. They had a PELOSI saying, look, he'll CRY for everything (his life, his WINO-ess) but NOT for MILLIONS without health insurance!1

8. This has absolutely nothing to do with

him or his father's tavern. Therefore, no crying.

[Lint Head]

9. Because he knows when to turn on the tears.

He does it to gain empathy. He is a cynical prick.

[applegrove]

10. He only cries about his own greatness.

11. Odd isn't it.

He's said all the right things in the past two days but despite the horror of innocent people, including a nine year old girl, being gunned down in public he's dry as a bone.

On the other hand, tell him the story of a boy from a town in Ohio rising to a position of great power in Washington and doing important things like handing out checks from lobbyists on the house floor he'll sob uncontrollably.

Boehner has "issues" and I'm starting to see why some members of the Republican caucus were looking at alternate names in the Speaker's race.

12. Or the 9-year-old girl

That definitely made me cry.

[lonestarnot]

13. Not so much as a tear for the beautiful little girl that was killed by his Charlie Manson party.

Ickyleaker doesn't give a fuck about anybody but himself.

[Jamastiene]

14. That was my first thought too.

I noticed he had no tears for the victims. He cries at the drop of a hat when he is waxing nostalgic for his own, but no tears for these victims.
