For many of his wild-eyed followers, the reelection ecstasy they reveled in as Obama wept must have had all the divine revelation of John 11:35.
After all the grief Speaker of the House John Boehner got for his tears, it’s interesting how the media now tries to the Obama’s tears as, “Hey, politicians crying ain’t nothin’ new thing.”
The headline of the AP story reads: Changing times: Politicians’ tears more common now
To sell their point, first we’re given an example of a tough guy like Putin caught weeping on winning his reelection (see, even tough guys weep!) the AP article then tells of the “enduring image” of The Iron Lady herself, Margarete Thatcher, as she was photographed leaving 10 Downing Street, and then we’re told of how much things have changed since Ed Muskie’s run for the 1972 Democrat nomination collapsed after he broke down defending his wife from attack by a New Hampshire newspaper.
Funny how we were never treated to that kind of perspective in the moments John Boehner was recorded crying.
From the ladies of The View:
Barbara Walters said, “This guy has an emotional problem. Every time he talks about anything that’s not ‘raise taxes,’ he cries. If you had seen Nancy Pelosi all these past years crying, what would you say? She’s got a problem.”
So Barbara, after all the times he cried during his run for reelection, does Barack Obama have an emotional problem too?
Joy Behar went on to mock Boehner as the “Weeper of the House.” Awesome. Can we now call Obama the crier-in-chief?
HuffPo hack Robert J. Elisberg titled his rant against Boehner “The Grim Weeper.”
Isn’t it fair then that we call Obama the Marxist Mewler?
On “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Kimmel ridiculed the teary-eyed Republican, suggesting Boehner’s tan, along with his smoking, drinking and crying habits, make him more apt to serve as Speaker of the “Jersey Shore” House instead.
Kimmel likening Boehner’s smoking and crying to something you might see on Jersey Shore is like making a crack about how you wouldn’t be surprised to see our on-again, off-again smoking president doing some cheesy karaoke bit on some late night TV.
Oh wait . . .
In hit pieces on Boehner, The LA Times and Rolling Stone came up with two different articles under the title of, “A Crying Shame.”
“A crying shame” would have made for a much better title for their next article on Obama’s reelection.
2012 BONUS PREDICTIONS: The Dead Pool
You probably know how this works, you make a list of 10 people, at the end of the year, the scores are tabulated by taking each person you correctly predicted the demise of, subtracting their age from 100, and then adding those numbers up from each correct prediction.
Here is my dead pool for 2012:
Jerry Sandusky
Kim Jong Un
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Ali Khamenei
Hugo Chavez
Juan Manuel Santos
Bill Maher
Fidel Castro
Joy Behar
Jared Lee Loughner
Keith Olbermann is abruptly leaving MSNBC. The network announced that Friday’s night’s ‘Countdown’ show will be Olbermann’s last.
This past November the primetime host was suspended “indefinitely” from MSNBC. Olbermann contributed to the campaigns of three Democratic candidates during election season, including Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords.
Shortly after Olbermann’s suspension, the host was welcomed back to MSNBC. He demanded an apology from the network before returning to his position.
His abrupt departure from MSNBC comes without explanation.

On air, Olbermann hinted that he had just learned of the end of his show Friday, and suggested his departure was not voluntary.

Sad day indeed for the angriest man in America and his handful of fans, but don’t feel too bad for Keith, there are probably just enough of his angry kool-aid drinking viewers to ensure he’ll land a job somewhere else on your cable box. It might be a step even farther down from the lowest rated news network of MSNBC, perhaps one of those channels with just a couple more viewers than the channel with the TV listings, but just think how well his brand of hate would work alongside the venom-filled harpy of Joy Behar on Headline News or the partisan stylings of fake news reporter Dan Rather on HDNet.
