John Boehner cries to college kids

Today marked a proud moment in the lives of graduating students and their families at Catholic University. Years of hard work and determination had finally paid off. And then John Boehner rolled in to deliver the commencement speech

After just 12 seconds of drunken slurred words, Boenher tears up.

2. What a disgrace

And by disgrace I mean not only Boner but the greater disgrace that Catholic University of America would "bestow" any award on such a self-centered, arrogant, heartless slob.

I have no problem with anyone imbibing as much as they like but to have someone in Boner's position so obviously shit-faced that he breaks down at the drop of a hat is not only unbelievable but outright dangerous as well. Third in line to the Presidency of the United States! God help us all.

4. That guy has got some major problems.

I have nothing against a guy crying, I prefer a sensitive man over bullies, but he has no control whatsoever. He needs to get help.

Besides, I think he is one of the worst Speakers in history...right up there with Newt.
