Some politicians make you cry.
And some crying politicians make you gasp.
The 111th Congress, now history, spawned numerous unflattering caricatures of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) as a botoxed harridan.
Incoming House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has his own problems. He likely will weep his way through the 112th session of Congress.
Comedians everywhere will have a field day with crybaby jokes at Boehner's expense.
It may not be a laughing matter.
Some behavior therapists believe Speaker Boehner, third in line to the Presidency, is emotionally unstable or suffering from alcoholism.
Until recently, Boehner spent many workday afternoons boozing in Washington D.C. bistros and golf courses.
Could his unearthly perpetual tan come from medications to counteract liver disease?
But let's not tear up over spilled milk. Democrats will recapture the House when Boehner is forced into rehab. (26 DECEMBER 2010)
