Bill O’Reilly’s First Concern For Speaker Boehner: ‘The Crying Thing’

video
» 43 comments

Today rang in a new era in Washington as the Republican majority settled into their places in the House of Representatives and their leader, House Speaker John Boehner, took the gavel away from outgoing Nancy Pelosi. With questions flying about what this takeover (and Boehner’s leadership) would mean for Congress, tonight Bill O’Reilly opened his first discussion with a different concern about Speaker Boehner: the “crying thing,” and what it would mean for his leadership.

Seems that even as the Speaker of the House, his crying will continue to be a hot topic in the media. “I don’t really know him very well,” O’Reilly told strategist and first guest Dick Morris, “[but] the crying thing, is that, what do you think?” Morris laughed it off, quipping, “I got my crying out of the way as Obama was passing all these programs!” But O’Reilly insisted, asking once again whether the fact that “he cries a lot” matters, adding the caveat that he does feel Speaker Boehner is “genuine in his emotion.”

“The third time is a little too much,” admitted Morris, adding that there is a way to “teach someone how not to cry” and that there are “speaking gimmicks” he could use to keep it under control. Whatever the gimmicks, it appears Speaker Boehner did not use them while he was being sworn in today, as O’Reilly played a clip of Boehner hiding his face in a bundle of tissues while outgoing speaker Pelosi welcomed him in.

    Wise up O’Reilly . Let Morris talk . He’s the guest . You made the same point for five minutes .

  • Nacho

    What’s Boehner compensating for with that over sized cartoon gavel?

    Time to man up, cry baby.

  • screwauger

    um, remember the gavel Nancy carried up the steps when they jammed the healthcare bill through. You remember, when a dem senator said a racist spit on him. You could make three of Boehners gavels out of that one. No contest. back under the bridge.

  • Socialist

    Where are all you cons that bashed Liberals for saying that Boehner cried? O’Rielly is saying the same thing, but in a nicer way..

    HA HA you mean the h.c bill that was debated for 1 and half years. Jeeezus, give me a break, the patriot act is a good example of a bill that was rammed through.

    What does some racist teabagger spitting on a black democrat have to do with boners over compensating gavel. lol.

    oh yea boner is the crying boy bitch and his wife looks like she got beat with the ass end of the uuuggllly stick. Yea I went there and I’ll do it again.

    She was compensating because she doesn’t have a dick. What’s Boehner’s excuse?

    Actually, Pelosi was carrying the very gavel that was used in 1965 to pass Medicare. What’s Boehner’s excuse?

    Wrong on many counts. Tammy Faye Boehner’s gavel is much MUCH bigger than Pelosi’s old one and the health care bill was not “jammed through” you idiot. It was debated through and through for over a YEAR!

    “We have to pass the bill, to find out what’s in it.”

    Always the sign that something ins’t getting rammed through.

    yea because rethugs and teabaggers have been most gracious and respectful when it comes to Pelosi or the first lady. Boner is about to have a rude awakening! Hes nothing new to us political junkies but just wait till he seeps into the consciousness of the general public. Ha ha this is going to be fun.

    Just saw the segment. It was a precursor to the quality of the rest of the segment. It was bad.

    God help you if you disagree with Bill. Morris couldn’t get out of the starting gate making his case with Bill bullheading his opinion.

  • BFD

    It was hilarious when Dennis Miller said this…

    “I love Dick Morris, he’s as sharp as they come, but he’s in the website business.”

    Truer words were never spoke.

    Play all your semantic games but it doesn’t change the fact that that was the most debated piece of legislation in decades. How about you quote the entire transcript you snatched that little Pelosi quote from. Context means everything.

    I know they are morons but don’t stoop to their level. People will not know the difference. ;)

    Bribery? Isn’t that a crime? Who went to prison for breaking that law? If your answer is “nobody” then no crime was committed you jackass!

  • Gasket

    Were the “back room deals” Pres. Obama and Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made on the Bush Tax Cuts illegal or nefarious? NO. Why is it when Senators do it with each other? Because they are Democrats? It’s part of the legislative process. You would have to be a clueless naive dimwit if you don’t think horse-trading occurs.

    Really ? That news to the majority of Americans who didn’t want a 2,500 bill cramed with who knows what, instead they wanted incremental change not a massive overhaul.

  • ChrisNH

    I agree that Boehner has to toughen up. He’ll be dealing with limp-wristed pink-shirted Libs, so he need not stoop to their level. These Libs need to be kicked in the ass for the way they’ve ruined this country in the name of ‘social & economic equality’ (which, by the way, won’t ever come; where is my yacht like the one the haughty John Kerry has?).

  • Just4thefax

    If it’s news to Americans, then that’s the media’s fault. All of the constituent parts of the plan were discussed for years and were debated on the floor this year. I’m afraid all of that FOX “News” time has dumbed you down a whole lot, son. But, FOX “News” is #1, in misinforming viewers, so I’ll give you a pass. Might I suggest BBC News America so that you might intelligently discuss matters of this sort?

    All these little Pollyanna’s on the right-wing payroll. “Man up girls!”

    Was something forced down your throat? No, the majority rules – Healthcare reform is for adults, not morons whom repeat what the hear on Fox and their moronic imbeciles.

    Hey, just because Republicans can’t read and elect officials that would rather be at Happy Hour, than do their jobs and apparently need psychiatric treatment for their constant bursts into hormonal female mood swings like Boehner, doesn’t mean the GOP didn’t have a CHANCE to debate it – they refused to because they worked for the Health Insurance Companies, like many of the posters that repeat the Frank Luntz catch phrases of nonsensical ignorance as if there were any intellect or wisdom from which they are based.

    Meanwhile, the failed governor of Alaska and “non-reading” Palin “writes two books”. Republicans are cowards – and crybabies, just like Boehner and Beck. “Because it’s hard work”.

    Man Up Wussies! Boehner and Beck would get their lunch taken from them by any “limp-wristed pink-shirted Libs” as you put it. Hell, I bet Dan/Anne Coultre does this to them regularly.

    You just added 500 pages to a “nearly 2000 page bill. You must watch Fox. Hahahahahahaha….The polls you refer to are RNC funded polls and inaccurate to say the least (Rassmussen/Frank Luntz/News Corp./Republicorp Czars of Propaganda for the little minds at Fox).

    What a bunch of crying whiny “girly men” (Beck, Beohner, GOP). To busy drinking and not enough time working.

    Damn, is the guy going to cry everytime the camera is on or what? This is surely different when the great Dick AND Bill says the guy needs to effin stop the boo hooing. He’s in the line of succession for the Presidency for God’s sakes. Wouldn’t that bring up the tears if that happened. He’d friggin cry himself into a coma.
