Boehner, the first Speaker to think that urine is a scent that should be bottled.

Crying (also called sobbing, weeping, bawling and wailing). See John Boehner.

Can't be an easy job. If you work for the country, you get crucified by your own party. If you tow the party line, then you still get nothing done and the same extremists crucify you for not getting results. Being speaker for the GOP is walking a tight-rope, where your goal is to avoid blame at any cost. I wouldn't want the job. 

Is Boehner still trying to get Happy Hour declared a national holiday?

Boehner should count his blessings. To him it is a figure of speech. To his former colleague, Gabrielle Giffords, it is the new normal...

That didn't stop him from seeking the gavel again, however.. 

Tell that to the NRA!

*sigh* Boehner's obviously tired of dealing with the Tea Partiers.

He should take stock of the Fiscal Cliff vote for comfort: All he needs to do is propose bills that get the support of the Dems plus the (somewhat) rational GOPers. He can ignore the TP faction all together and actually, you know, accomplish something as Speaker.  

His inability to understand "We don;t have a spending problem, we have an aging problem" is the number one impediment to actually dealing with the deficit in a rational manner. As far as the GOP is concerned, the deficit is just another tool in their box to try to get the Democrats to do their ideological dirty work of gutting Medicare.

After reading Boehner's whining in that WSJ piece, I don't have much sympathy for him. Boehner likes playing the put-upon victim of circumstance while simultaneously trying to dictate policy to the Senate and Oval Office.

He has a hole in the head...maybe a few.

“I need this job like I need a hole in the head.”

And yet you cried again when you got it. The hole in your head is your mouth. It's where you pour your beer.
