A crying shame!

But don’t you cry! Tears are tearing up the headlines, too!

Excuse me, while I wipe away a tear.

But if it’s your (tea) party, you can cry if you want to, too:

For now, it’s got me shedding tears of joy.

In France, Glenn Beck is known as “Le Bebe-Homme Pleurant“, and is considered to be a performance artist.

Sad Boehner must have just launched some sadly foul flatulence, if Van der Beek’s expression is any indication.
Dave Faris

So how many times did Boehner start sobbing during the reading of the Constitution?

Funny video on the subject!

Speaker Boehner’s emotional lability may be related to his self-confessed BFF, Merlot. Apparently, he’s a member of the it-must-be-five-o’clock-somewhere school of bibulology.

Beck and Boehner are both crybabies. Boehner may be replacing Beck as the town crier. The DNC should take taken ads with both of them crying and saying “Is this who you want to be the new Speaker of the House”?

Stefan Jones-Both Beck and Boehner are crybabies to gin up phony sentimentality for their cause. They’re two peas in a pod.

What no Glenn Beck?

Sad Keanu is missing there. They could be a Sad trio.

Both starring in a remake of “The crying game”

  Is Boehner a girl at the end of this “Crying Game” remake?

    Actually I think it’s Glenn Beck who’d be the catcher in this five way relationship.
    
    The alternate title for this could be “Roofies work on men too!”

I would cry too if I was as full of shit as those three.

Doesn’t Boehner know they only award Oscars to actual actors?

Xeni – how about some shocked kiteh in the corner?

Boehner and Beck are not even worthy enough to wipe their tears with Draper’s puke-stained shirt.

Boehner is sad.

Draper is sad.

Beck . . . Beck just looks like a one year old unhappy about having a load in his Huggies.

  I thought he’d just heard what he was saying. But I suppose that’s basically the same thing… :-P

I admit, I’m glad Glen Beck joined. He’s my favorite cryer

Draper make have a puke-stain on his shirt, but at least he’s not Glenn Beck.

Beck just isn’t selling it. The other two are pretty good actors.

strong men… also cry.

Wait, that’s not Don Draper, it’s Dick Whitman! What’s going on here?
mathdemon

You have to put in that “Why must I cry” dude!
Rayonic

You know guys, I think Beck is trolling you all with that picture. But by all means keep giving him attention.

On a related note, you may have heard that women want men to be honest about their feelings. It’s true, but only in the same sense that the IRS wants you to be honest about your finances.

Sad Julian Assange, Sad Nic Cage, Sad Adrian Brody, and Crying Double Rainbow Guy would also fit! You’re welcome to shop it more yourselves, but I must move on.
