Tears for Fears

Oh dear
He did it again.
John Boehner was driven to tears again today. This time it happened at a closed-door meeting of House Republicans.
According to sources inside the meeting, Boehner it happened while Boehner was speaking to the group about the latest on his negotiations with Democrats over government funding. Boehner talked about his meeting yesterday with President Obama and then, in a rousing conclusion, he thanked the House Republicans for standing by him and supporting him through these tense negotiations.
The Republican conference responded with a standing ovation for their speaker.
As you could imagine, that prompted the Speaker to cry.
“Yes,” said one person at the meeting, “He cried, but only briefly.”
Clearly the guy has some serious problems controlling his emotions. Even male "weepers" (and I've known few) cry over sentimental, personal stuff, not this sort of thing. This seems like stress to me. maybe the job is too much for him.
