‘This Guy Has Emotional Problems’: The View Jumps On ‘Weeper Of The House’ John Boehner

video
» 62 comments

While a weepy 60 Minutes interview with Speaker-elect John Boehner had CBS claiming that real men do cry, the real women of The View are also crying—with laughter. After showing the teary clip to their audience, the ladies began to discuss what they’d just seen. Barbara Walters went first. “This guy has an emotional problem,” she said. “Every time that he talks about anything that’s not ‘raise taxes,’ he cries.”

Walters sensed a double standard here, taking the opportunity to compare the incoming House Speaker with the outgoing one. “If you had seen Nancy Pelosi, [in] all these past years, crying, what would you say?”

Joy Behar quickly jumped in. “I think that it’s interesting to watch him cry,” she said, analyzing the man’s weepy sensitivity with an academic coldness. “We call him Weeper of the House.”

He cries only when he talks about how sad his life was. He had to sweep floors, he was a janitor, and he pursued the American dream. And yet he has very little empathy for people who are in that position now.

She went on to name some of the tax policies she found most offensive, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck interrupted, taking it upon herself to defend the sobbing Speaker. All the while, a gigantic screen behind them looped images of the crying conservative, lending a touch of surrealism to the whole affair.

Watch the ladies of The View discuss John Boehner’s leaky tear ducts in the ABC clip below. [Via RealClearPolitics]

    I wish Elisabeth would take it upon herself to leave the show.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    hour with either of these skanks on the view.

    Fact:

    A redneck has five bucks and is horny, so he thinks to himself, “Maybe I’ll go to that whorehouse I’ve been hearin’ so much ’bout.”
    The redneck walks in, approaches a very burlesque, good-looking woman and says, “I’ve got 5 bucks, give me your best.” The man is immediately escorted to a room with a mirror, a couch, and a chicken in the corner.
    The woman shuts the door. The man reluctantly takes the chicken and finishes his business. He then realized that that was the best sex he’d ever had.
    The following week, the man brings $10 of his hard earned money, and offers it to the woman. He is the whisked off in to a small room with a few benches and a double sided mirror. The small room quickly fills with men and women alike.
    Two women walk into the room that the people are viewing. The two lesbians then proceed to make love on the table. The redneck nudges the man next to him and exclaims, “Damn, for 10 bucks, this is damn good.”
    The man then chuckles and says, “You should have been here last week, we had a man screwing a chicken.”

    Now thats ROCKSTEADY puppet for you!

    I liked this site but sorry Mediaite. You need to clean up the comments section. Some of these comments are beyond the pale. In the beginning the comments were about politics but now they have degraded.

    Keep it like this and lose lots of fair minded posters.

    Fact: You don’t own a weedeater do you RRK?
    Well you don’t have to answer because we posters know why!
    Two mediaite posters decided that they weren’t going anywhere in life and thought they should go to college to get ahead. The first went in to see the counselor, who told him to take math, history, and logic. “What’s logic?” the first poster asked.
    The professor answered, “Let me give you an example. Do you own a weed eater?”
    “I sure do.”
    “Then I can assume, using logic, that you have a yard,” replied the professor.
    “That’s real good!” said the redneck.
    The professor continued, “Logic will also tell me that since you have a yard, you also own a house.”
    Impressed, the poster said, “Amazing!”
    “And since you own a house, logic dictates that you have a wife.”
    “That’s Betty Mae! This is incredible!” The poster was catching on.
    “Finally, since you have a wife, logically I can assume that you are heterosexual,” said the professor.
    “You’re absolutely right! Why that’s the most fascinatin’ thing I ever heard! I cain’t wait to take that logic class!”
    The poster, proud of the new world opening up to him, walked back into the hallway where his friend was still waiting. “So what classes are ya takin’ ?” asked the friend.
    “Math, history, and logic!” replied the first poster.
    “What in tarnation is logic?” asked his friend.
    “Let me give you an example. Do ya own a weed eater?” asked the first poster.
    “No,” his friend replied.
    “You’re queer, ain’t ya?”

    So you can fool some posters sometime but you can’t fool all poster all the time! thats the facts!

  • AngelPeters

    No woman in politics could get away with that kind over the top emotional response. Double standard.

  • CAconservative

    When I look at his crying face, I could swear he was just forced to watch the View. I can’t watch, it gives me gas! I wonder if it ever occurred to this group of mental-midgets that he could be so seriously engaged in the issues that he gets emotional about it? Pelosi cry! Don’t you have to have human emotions to do that? Notice the makeup of the View? Four Liberals and ONE Conservative! Yet, that one-conservative makes more sense than all of them combined.

    Joy and Whoppi are just on the show to get laughs. If no one agrees with them, they just storm off of the set. They are stupid and cannot even do the show without Joy’s notes from the DNC and White House. Whoppi always agrees with Joy and if Joy doesn’t get a laugh she is mad. I cannot believe that Barbara allows these do idiots to stay on the show. I guess she feels it makes her look good. She cannot ask a question in an interview that hasn’t bee submitted in advance. She is afraid that they won’t like her. Too bad she can’t just ask questions, but they always give her pages of things she isn’t allowed to ask.

  • BarneyFranken

    Nancy Pelosi would never cry like this. You need to have a soul to cry.

  • jjay7381

    Whatever, if Obama had gone on TV and sobbed like this, Fox would be tap dancing all over it. This guy needs to pull himself together and start conducting himself with some dignity.

  • notsofast

    Yeah, Barbara, you rancid POS. You made your name by making your lib celebrities cry on camera and now suddenly, it’s a sign of emotional problems.

    Go F yourself.

    if it’d been Obama crying, the View ladies would be admiring “a man who is so in touch with his own emotions that he isn’t afraid to let them out in public.” you betcha.

    Conservatives are evil and therefore deserve no sympathy.

    Bloke’s Rules – Aussie Style

    It is okay for a man to cry under the following circumstances:
    A. When a heroic dog dies to save its master.
    B. The moment Angelina Jolie starts unbuttoning her blouse.
    C. After wrecking your boss’ car.
    D. One hour, 12 minutes, 37 seconds into “The Crying Game” movie.
    E. When she is using her teeth.

    I think their rather humane point is that he shouldn’t be disrespected for crying when he gets emotional. Hate him because he’s evil or whatever.

    I think he’s kinda sweet & I wish him all the best. :)

    Tears of a clown:

    John Boehner was on 60 Minutes last night. And yes, 58 of those minutes were Boehner crying. This guy simply cries too much. There’s a fine line between “sensitive” and “maudlin,” and John Boehner’s tears have washed that line away. He cries at the drop of a hat. And a guy who drinks as much as John Boehner drops a lot of hats. And it’s not like the guy gets misty, or tears up a little. He blubbers like he’s watching “Terms of Endearment,” “Ghost,” and “Old Yeller” all at the same time. Boehner told Leslie Stahl “There’s just some things that trigger real emotions.” Yup. And one of them is bourbon.

    John Boehner is from a poor family and had to struggle to get ahead. And now he’s devoting his life to making sure other poor people have to struggle even more. I think Boehner is like one of those ex-smokers who ends up being rabidly anti-smoking. He grew up poor, and now it seems like he wants to stomp out the poor. Not stomp out poverty… stomp out poor people. Maybe Boehner just doesn’t want anybody else to go through what he went through… and by that I mean eventual wealth and success. It also came out that Boehner met his wife while working as a night shift janitor in college. He’s come a long way from janitor. These days he spends his time trashing the Constitution.

    Boehner choked up when talking about the American Dream. He said “I’ve been chasing the American Dream my whole career.” I just hope he never catches it, because I have a feeling he wants to strangle it. At the end he said “I’m a regular guy with a big job.” And that would be making sure no other regular guys get a job until he can get Obama out of the White House.

    What a joke!

    The women of the view (read that “bitches”) passing judgment on anyone else is just too damn funny. They are the most emotionally unstable lot on the air.

    You do have a point! A couple of times of him doing this, sure ok, but this might be an emotional problem. You are right, dislike shouldn’t come into play!

    Yep, I think so too, but sometimes it’s fun giving it back.

    I will cry when whoopicushion goatburger leaves the show and I will cry when brack oobomba leaves the white house–those will be tears of joy.

  • CarmanK

    Boehner has gone from being the TAN MAN, to the GRIM WEEPER. He will use his fake tears to gain sympathy as long as it pays off politcally. Like Rachel Maddow said, weeping can be effective in showing a man’s true passions, but Boehner is a man whose passion is to make this president fail and serve his corporate masters. If weeping will get him what he wants, he will cry us a river and when that doesn’t work, he will find another gimmick to get his point across. BOOHOO, the GRIM WEEPER is here!!

    ‘This Guy Has Emotional Problems’: The View Jumps On ‘Weeper Of The House’ John Boehner

    That these “ladies” (I’m feeling especially charitable in the midst of the Christmas season) should suggest Mr. Boener has emotional problems tops anything they’ve opined on of late. I have seldom seen a more hate-filled group of poor excuses for human beings.
