Webster 11-06-10 10:14 PM

this was just an attempt to gain interest in him to boost his pathetic ratings


does anyone really believe MSNBC or NBC even care of he donates to democrates? that policy is in place only to prevent any employee they have from donating to any republican or independent candidate running for office.


i mean really, keith oberman supports democrats :o OMG news at 11 lol

MSNBC is about to go off the air due to long term pathetic ratings and after losing money year after year they are desperate to try anything to improve ratings.

what do reality shows do when they need higher ratings? they create drama over some stupd rediculous BS and this stupidity seams to be just that.

"Oh spare me the theatrics!" came to mind when I saw Boehner break down in tears.

Hey Hey Hey! He spent a lot of time practicing those tears. You think it is easy to cry live on camera?

Give the man some credit. Those were some well timed tears. :yep:

You're right. I'll give him an 'E' for effort and a chance to prove the worth of those tears. :up:

Don't be so cynical, they were real tears.The man catches a lot of flak but has lived the "American Dream" in the truest since so when it all hit him that he after many years will he most likely be Speaker of the House in addition to the emotion of knowing they can stop the crap thats been going on, it overwhelmed him.Rather wrong to assume they were fake.I am not an emotional person, honestly have no cried since I was in middle school except at a funeral, well after it but I would prob cry to if rose up from what he did to where is about to be.I will prob get a little misty eyed when I see Obama lose in 2012, tears of joy you know.

From the wiki on him, just the section on his early life.Matches up with other sources.

Boehner was born in Reading, Ohio, the son of Mary Anne (née Hall) and Earl Henry Boehner, the second of twelve children in a German-Irish family.[2] He grew up in modest circumstances, having shared one bathroom with his dozen siblings in a two-bedroom house in Cincinnati. His parents slept on a pull-out couch.[3] He started working at his family's bar at age 8, a business founded by their grandfather Andy Boehner in 1938.[3] He has lived in Southwest Ohio his entire life. All but two of his siblings still live within a few miles of each other, two are unemployed and most of the others have blue-collar jobs.[4]
He graduated from Cincinnati Moeller High School in 1968, when U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was at its peak. Boehner enlisted in the United States Navy but was honorably discharged after eight weeks for medical reasons.[5] He earned his bachelor's degree in business from Xavier University in Cincinnati in 1977, becoming the first person in his family to attend college, taking seven years as he held several jobs to pay for his education.[3] He subsequently accepted a position with Nucite Sales, a small sales business in the packaging and plastics industry, where he eventually became president of the firm.[6]

You are right, the man deserves a fighting chance. My snappy commentary was anything but fair. :yep:

Yes, yes. I'm sure he grew up in a log cabin, learned to read and write by slate and couldn't lie about his father's apple tree. My point is that if someone on Team D had teared up like that, a huge number of you would be calling for his head.
