Well, no one saw that coming. After clinching the House Speakership, John Boehner took to the podium to deliver his speech — and promptly let flow the waterworks:
OH FOR GOD'S SAKE MAN HOLD IT TOGETHER

He can’t help it!
.@SpeakerBoehner just feels it *so* much.

The only person Boehner makes emotional with his speeches is….John Boehner.

Gotten so used to #Boehner's weepiness that it would be news if he DIDN'T dissolve into tears on momentous occasions.

Constantly. RT @secupp: I can't even tell anymore. Is Boehner crying?

These are always the parts where @SpeakerBoehner chokes up. The parts about service, sacrifice, and being a voice for constituents.

Sometimes I wonder if Boehner's tears are an affectation. I doubt it, but tell me you don't wonder the same…

Does it matter? Probably not.
