Mitch McConnell Fights Back Tears On Senate Floor (VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | Nick Wing First Posted: 12-15-10 02:05 PM

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered a tearful sendoff to his GOP colleague Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire on the Senate floor Tuesday, becoming the second Republican leader this week to draw attention for exercising his tear ducts in a public appearance.

"Now to say that I tried to convince Judd to stay is an understatement," McConnell said with a belabored smile that quickly transformed into a crescendo of emotion. "But he knew it was his time to move on, and to write the next chapter in his life. And while senators come and go all the time, I can't help but note that when Judd walks out of this chamber, when he walks out of this chamber for the last time, he'll leave an enormous void behind. So I'll close, old friend and colleague, by saying that you're certainly gonna be missed."

McConnell's bout of sniffling builds not only upon an appearance by John Boehner on CBS News's "60 Minutes" last weekend, in which the future Speaker of the House discussed and displayed his renowned propensity for uncorking the optical floodgates, but also upon a previous incident in which the Senate Minority Leader let loose on the Senate floor.

Remember when "compassionate conservative" was just an empty slogan?

2. I thought the pukes

were all "manly men". Reagan must be rolling in his grave over all of these morons blubbering their way across DC while they try to appoint themselves as the one true heir to the ronnie raygun philosophy. ;-)

3. Perhaps they have deep seated anxiety in anticipation of their

new found friends, the Tea Partiers.

14. We have a BINGO

The euphemism with Dems was herding cats. They will be herding fleas, and swatting them then herding them again.

What fine shepherds they will be.

4. Time Magazine should've picked "Crying" as Person of the Year.

It makes as much sense as Zuckerbook

[BonnieJW]

5. So what lucrative endeavor is Judd going to next?

I'm sure he isn't going to the country to write his papers. Which lobbyist is going to be using him?

10. Regarding your OP title

The TeaParty is the Republican Party, one and the same.
TeaParty funded by republicans for republicans ;)
I wish the media would have started calling them 'The Republican TeaParty' a long time ago instead of letting them get away with their bullshit !

11. In fairness to McConnell, it might not be real tears. Perhaps he's just allergic to legislating.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. The TEAR Party.

20. My husband and I had a friend like this...he'd get kinda blubbery.

I was embarrassed for him. But sometimes he would just get loud and argumentative. I had to tell him it was time to leave when he started in on some guy at a football game we were attending "I have a DICK! You don't have a DICK!" This was at 4 in the afternoon...his wife took him home...

[JuniperLea]

23. Hilarious!

Alcohol and testosterone is an amusing combo sometimes!

[CTyankee]

26. I just said tohim "It's time to leave when you start talking about your dick, Jim."

I mean, really. Who wants to hear this?
