Cackling hags on The View Joy Behar and Barbara Walters mock John Boehner's 60 minutes interview

greg almost everyone can be a hypocrite at one time or another i have found out. the view is just a bunch of gabby women flapping there lips. hate that show dont like the talk either. And whoppi gets younger every year when she really is 61.

Whoopi gets a bit more mellow and agreeable when she's on OReilly's show.

I guess "The View" gives her more "Moxie" than she normally has.

Cackling hags

That's a classy line. There's enough irony and hypocrisy to go around.

And whoppi gets younger every year when she really is 61.

Whoopi always says her age..what do you mean she gets younger??

"I guess "The View" gives her more "Moxie" than she normally has."

I think it is because her go-along-buddies are not there to back her up and if she gets too rambo on O he will put her in her place.

john boehner cries, wears mascara and fake bakes. I think he might be a tranny.

. I'd rather see Vladimir Putin installed in our White House than either of those two pieces of rank garbage.

And to think I've had a couple newer 'viners ask me why TheSkeptic is ignored so often....

Vladimir Putin

Hey, the guy's great at karaoke- did a version of Blueberry Hill that brought me to tears! ;>)

Hey, the guy's great at karaoke- did a version of Blueberry Hill that brought me to tears! ;>)

I think I threw up in my mouth!

The best part was when they paned into the crowd and they're clapping and smiling as if "Stalin" would kill them if they didn't rave about the performance. LOL!

Communist KGB agents, gotta love em!

TheSkeptic-1418965

...than either of those two pieces of rank garbage.

That line says more about you, lol! What happened....mommy mean to you as a kid?

Seriously? You took the time to post that because he forgot an 'n' in "panned" or possibly could have used a comma?

Holy cow!!

I mean, heck - exactly how did a missing 'n' in one word (that was still easily understood) make that less of an 'adult conversation'?

Look - ask either of them (Greg or Driftwood) and they will tell you that I will cross words w/them over just about anything.

But to try and go all passive aggressive with snotty stuff like "It might help in having an adult conversation" only makes you look sillier than Greg does w/his firebomb one-liner posts.

Find those (numerous) posts of a thousand words w/no freaking Caps or sentence/paragraph structure at all - Go hassle them for heaven's sake.

Cackling hags ?

Palin , Bachmann hands down. their shrill baby shrill !

Kylemmie,

Settle down as I agree criticizing spelling and grammar on these sites seems childish but when someone continually brags about their level of education again and again I felt something had to be said. Take a look at my history of posts and you'll see I appreciate civil discussions about topics posted on NV.

Ike

You're not alone. I've also noticed that greg's comments contain quite a few spelling errors, but I decided to not tell him. Very negative comments with spelling errors are highly entertaining.

BTW greg.....a little TMI as times. yeah. Sorry.

The best part was when they paned into the crowd and they're clapping and smiling as if "Stalin" would kill them if they didn't rave about the performance. LOL!

Shows how stuck in the 80s you are. What I saw were a bunch of Russian mafia and plutocrats mindlessly clapping to his every breath...hardly Stalin-esque. But disturbing, none the less.

Greg, you really disappoint me in your international politics.

See you tomorrow, Greg. Who cares about spelling, etc. It just means that your brain works faster than your fingers. It's not like he was trying to be "joules beef" or something. Sheeze... (gee, I hope I spelled that right).

I think I'm gonna take the "Spelling" comments personally!

It's not like I'm spending days and days to write a serious report for a client or an agency.

It's a comenantment! (on purpose)

Get real Folks! Even the best of you mess up sometimes.

i ahve never, erver made spilling ear.

that should read "a spilling ear".

Agent Orange is eminently mockable.

She doesn't have to blubber, she's already on the @!$%# List, just for her "Progressive" ideas. LMAO!

Her idea of "progress" has cost us tax payers a @!$%# Load.

And how's that California mega failure going for ya. You did get whatever you wanted out of that debacle didn't you?

Sniff.

You hurt my feelings.

You do care about my feelings don't you? LOL!

Are you going to cry? :-)

That's what "Sniff" means, or didn't you get the memo on "how to show emotions"! :D

I pour my heart out to you and all you can do is be sarcastic.

I'm going home to mother damnit!

A mama's boy? (You know I'm just picking?)

Crying?!?!? There's no crying in Congress!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO!

Am I man, or am a women.

Saying "My Wife", doesn't tell all, does it.

Oooooooo! a conundrum for viners!

Greg - hehehe

I know - Can't assume you are a guy just cause you chose that moniker for the vine.

I still have scars from the verbal lashing I took when I thanked a poster for her child's service. It seems I was way out of bounds for assuming that "A Sergeant's Mom" had a child in the military or Police/Fire Dept. Silly me.

Learned my lesson! And from your excitement over our 'confusion' as to whether you even have a gender (muah) - Shall we assume you would prefer the pronoun 'it' in the future?

;)

LOL kylemmie!

I'll never tell! :D

I've made the same mistake and got burned!

Never again.

A Sergeant's Mom" had a child in the military or Police/Fire Dept. Silly me.

Wait a minute a sergeants mom is not the mother of some one in the service or police department??

I would have never have guessed , well if I am correctly addressing a Sergeants Mom as being female did she at least explain why such a screen name??

If I incorrectly categorized A Sergeants Mom as being a female I apologize in advance

A problem with assertive women, but no problem with crybaby men evidently.

Why are they cackling hags? Suddenly the criticism matters when prior to now the very people who are bothered by the commentary on the view ridiculed others routinely... from the entire Obama admin, to other federal legislators.

Unbelievable !!!

All right wing trolls do. This was up once and the majority of people commended the ladies for their effort on this story of bonehead weeping like Beck.

The simple truth is that Boner's crying is the result of alcohol abuse.Lots of it! Repeated assaults on the brain's chemistry(specifically the Hypothalamus I believe) causes this kind almost spontaneous emotional outburst.It has nothing to do with being sensitive or caring for any particular people or issue! The cure?....Pour another fifth of expensive booze don the hatch!

I trtied that.

I looked to much like the dad on the cheerios commercial. LOL!

#8:But a man who cries is a man who is in touch with his feelings, yes but some man can cry on demand.

john boehner shows the typical behavior of a "crying drunk", period!

And CM, Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Merry Christmas "MaryEllen Galloway"!

Still love that name! It's so "Victorian".

#8.3:Merry Christmas "MaryEllen Galloway"!Still love that name! It's so "Victorian".

Thanks Greg, and the same to you and yours. I like the way it sounds, too. Quite Victorian indeed!

Trust me, I know what a drunk looks like. That was not my first thought when I saw the interview with Boehner. The tears I saw seemed to be about kids and their futures. (I didn't see the whole interview.) I'll keep an eye on him and see how things go before making up my mind. On the surface it does seem sad if a man can't express any emotion in public without being perceived as a wimp. Still, I'll have to see more before I make up my mind about him.

Joy Behar and Barbara Walters mock John Boehner’s 60 minutes interview calls him Weeper of the House

Any reason to continue alcohol addiction.....? Denial...

john boehner shows the typical behavior of a "crying drunk", period!

MaryEllen Galloway

Yes we can, my cross-dressing friend!

So.....BKT.....are you trying to say (with your user name) that your writings can usually be found buried among the pictures of pornographic magazines? If so.....then you can call me Billy Pilgrim!

I love Vonnegut!........

Now.....the modern day "old school career politician" has been nothing but attention seeking whores for more than 40 years now. We must stop electing "politicians" and start electing "states-people" ......people that KNOW they work for us, and not the special interests and fringe extreme political interests.

Nobody has a problem with men showing true emotion but this was a feel sorry for me moment not a true breakdown. This guy was relating to a tough early life. BS His family owned a bar in Cincinati. He cried about haveing to sweep the floor there when he was young like it happened in his early adult hood. Not true he was doing that when he was 8 and only on occasion. His family had 11 children and if he suffered any it was because he was in a family who was catholic and could not use birth control He went to the most expensive High school (catholic) in that area and attended Xavier University the most expensive catholic college in the area. No what he was crying about was not fact it was BS as is most of his so called rhetoric. He admitted he passed out graft checks on the floor of congress and is a poor example of a human being. They think he is nuts not for crying but because he seem unstable all the time and should probably seek help.

#13:Here he is boohooing on multiple occasions...something is wrong with this man...

He is an alcoholic displaying typical alcoholic tendencies (staring, mumbling, can't direct attention to one answer only, is very evasive, and crying).

He is probably very sick, physically, and knows it as he looks like he hits the sauce very often especially after being raised in his father's saloon. Alcoholics don't live very healthy lives!

I do feel that his mental capabilities are very deficient and suspect as well.

Got news for you folks. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with me......and I am a man that is not afraid to cry. I do not do drugs. I do not even remotely come close to having a drinking problem. I am not physically, mentally, nor emotionally sick. My mental capabilities are far from deficient, nor are they suspect in any manner. If they were, or if I had any of these tendencies, I would not be able to keep my job.

Your short sighted stereotypes and misconceptions are inconsequential, at best, in judging the character of this man....or any other human, for that matter.

DLMaston

You'll correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't mentally ill people typically unaware they are ill? In fact, many trumpet just how mentally healthy they really are, when no one asked to begin with.

BTW....Personality disorders seem to be rampant among elected officials: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1961710/politicians_and_narcissistic_personality.html

They usually answer the question of how are you doing with "I am alright"

No, AZPaddy, you are absolutely correct. Due to the requirements of my job, I'm subjected to periodic testing.....so, no really.....I am ok.

I've heard of piss testing but not are-you-mentally-ill testing...

demmywemmy

"I've heard of piss testing but not are-you-mentally-ill testing..."

Ha! Maybe DLMaston is simply referring to some wierd personality test that an equally weird employer would subscribe to.

You're right. I can't think of any employer requiring a mental health test as a condition of employment. I mean, how long would a legitimate diagnosis take anyway? Why would a prospective employer even wonder about an employee's mental health condition in the first place?

DL....can you shed any light on that?

I can't think of any employer requiring a mental health test as a condition of employment

Any police department in the United States!

RACHEL1

"Any police department in the United States!"

Really. All police depts. require recruits to undergo a full mental health evaluation?

Okay, I admit I don't know about all ...but, all three in this state do and in NY State they do also.

That would make sense...but continuous, periodic testing?

demmywemmy

" continuous, periodic testing?"

I'd be in favor of that for any public servant with a badge and a gun.

Damn right, I just wasn't aware that this was done. Police unions are powerful and I imagine would not be happy about periodic mental health evaluations.

demmywemmy

Where heck is DL on this? He started it.

There are other jobs that require mental health testing. Soldiers require a psychological eval before enlisting. I'm sure any top secret job requires a psych eval. My husband had one when he was interviewing for an NSA job. He didn't mind at all and recieved a clean bill of health.

seen too much #13.15

Here's the original comment from DLMaston in #13.2:

" My mental capabilities are far from deficient, nor are they suspect in any manner. If they were, or if I had any of these tendencies, I would not be able to keep my job."

Forget that the comment was to a question no one asked, but DL did take a broad based cheap-shot at me and others when he said this: "

"Your short sighted stereotypes and misconceptions are inconsequential, at best, in judging the character of this man....or any other human, for that matter."

"In any manner" and 'any of these tendencies" would seem to mean DLMaston meant a full mental health evaluation.

Since DLMaston has left without answering my question, we can only speculate as to the degree of testing he is apparently subject to.

Soldiers, police recruits, etc. may undergo some psychological evaluation, but I doubt it is a comprehensive full mental health evaluation. The process could take weeks to complete, and companies and municipalities simply cannot commit the time and resources for such testing. If it does take place, I would think it is for a very few individuals, and not S.O.P.

Too bad DLMaston bugged out. I was interested in what his response might be.

A perfect response from conservatives who hate women and only tolerate them for their votes

So will years of alcohol abuse coupled with tenuous mental health.

Don't think my beer drinking would qualify as abuse, but I often do wonder over the other part. Like I say, I don't know about Boehner, although I have at times wondered over the mental health of anyone that would want one of those jobs in the first place.

If he's that stressed out that it makes him cry, maybe he should find a new line of work. His job is not about to get any easier.

From what I have read here, he should make a good bartender.

#16.3:maybe he should find a new line of work. His job is not about to get any easier.

What work? This sob doesn't work now and doesn't plan to--ever! The congress even has people read for them-great WORK if you can get it, I guess!

I don't think some of them can READ! Not comprehensively, that is.

ok, poor choice of word...but you know what I mean.

#16.4:From what I have read here, he should make a good bartender.

Nope, wrong. You will make no profits; this is why street drug addicts don't sell their drugs very well. This is also why they get killed; failure to pay off because they use up the product themselves!

Don't know about Boehner, but my observation over the past few months is that extreme fatigue and stress will make a person tear up over things that wouldn't ordinarily cause that sort of a reaction.

Ya think perhaps Obama has had more than his share of stress over the last 2 years?! I just don't remember seeing him doing the shoulder-shaking, blubbering bit.

And Boehner hasn't even started yet...

#16.6:ok, poor choice of word...but you know what I mean.

OK! I know he can't handle it either! Like I have said before, be careful what you ask for. Just another dressed up "tanned" pimp.

Is there any actual documentation of him drinking or just this rumor and innuendo?

And Boehner hasn't even started yet...

Fear of having to keep lying to the American people may be stress enough to put weak people over the edge. Takes a strong will to read a lie and know it is just that and be straight

You know, another thing that will allow you to tear up like he does. It's called being in touch with your emotions. It's called being unafraid to show that you have emotions. It's called being unafraid to show that a thing, or an idea, or a set of values mean something deep and real to you.

Could it be all these other horrible, negative things everybody is throwing around? Sure....I guess. Some of them are more valid than others, but....sure.

However, there is ALWAYS another side to the coin. My suggestion is that other side.

It's called being in touch with your emotions. It's called being unafraid to show that you have emotions. It's called being unafraid to show that a thing, or an idea, or a set of values mean something deep and real to you.

By that same logic, I guess we will never see Sarah Palin cry.

DLMaston

Well DL?? What about it? (#13.7)

Not anymore, thanks to SCOTUS.

Krankee

Unfortunately a significant number of poor and middle class voters support the uber rich.

Careful, careful, your envy is showing more and more, and you're looking more and juvenile, jealous and pathetic. Isn't it ironic that you can mock someone else for crying, while screaming and throwing tantrums because you want to be given what the wealthy have earned?

A significant number? Try all.

Refused to get it...'you want to be given what the wealthy have earned?' Does this mean that you would support a 100% death tax? If you did'nt earn it..you don't deserve it. Your kids did'nt earn it they don't deserve it.

because you want to be given what the wealthy have earned?

EARNED? Please!

Earned? I don't think so.

Alot of the oil millionaires in Texas didn't earn @!$%#. They received a plot of land, a tractor and a farm house, all courtesy of the Gov after WWII. When the Oil boom started, they all got rich compliments of Uncle Sam.

Let me offer an analogy here for your consumption:

Two people, one a Billionaire and one making 50K per year. I sit them both down next to a Million Dollars in cash that I just printed (I'm the Federal Reserve).

I tell the person making 50K, "If I give the Billionaire this Million dollars, your life will greatly improve." <smile>

Forbes inherited. Rockefellers inherited. Heinz's inherited. The list goes on. Many people didn't earn @!$%#, they inherited. The uber-wealthy in this day in age for the most part inherited their wealth from their forefathers.

It breaks my heart that they many uber-wealthy may have to forgo buying that new limousine or jet plane for another year or two if their taxes go up. Truly heartbreaking. Those Audi's, BMW's, Ferrari's, Jaguars they purchase go to support a strong vibrant middle-class, just not the middle-class in the United States.

support the non working voters

Friedwatermelon, speak for yourself. Now get off that computer and go flip some burgers or something productive. :)

My all time favorite descriptive attack is:

"Nattering nabobs of negativity."

Spiro?

Ok I looked it up. Was stated by Spiro Agnew and was penned by Safire for one of his speeches.

Vile? C'mon now. The view is nothing more than another pretentious and silly ass chatterbox media show.

Limbaugh, beck and fox news are in the same boat. Ho hum.

#21: Go ahead Progressives, continue to revel in an others pain and see where it gets you?

It seems to me that the repugs are the ones who love to revel-and even get enjoyment- in the pains of others, not rich enough to make the selfish grade! Did I miss something?

If thats the way you think about things i/e you don't watch because they are rude you could not even think about being here on Newsvine then and reading all the negativity of these paid right wing trolls.

I guess you would know all about getting paid for trolling, logdumb. Did this weeks check come in from moveon.org yet? George Soros' pockets are pretty deep, so must feel pretty secure.

Your description fits everyone on Fox and Limbaugh show and almost every one of the right wingers radio and tv shows. If you believe what you wrote you would say the same for them also.

He can get great care as part of his government provided health-care. Strange.....

His condition should be construed as a pre-existing condition from his 'traumatic' childhood experience. Tius rendering him ineligible for health care insurance on the federal payroll. Just like everyone else, Boner.

Thanks again, Bdobb. Hey, kuckoo is kuckoo. Regardless of which side it comes from! An honest man...didn't Shakespeare say something about "an honest man"?!

No problem Dale...remember the old commercial, "Kuckoo for Cocoa Puffs"? Boehner must REALLY love his cereal...no need for milk either!

I do! Funny. And FR sent.

Gladly accepted.

I'm not willing to blindly support or rationalize his obvious instability simply because I lean toward republican and conservative ideals,

bdobb,

If you can consistantly be so objective about all issues I could easily be you friend. I know it may not count for much but you catch my drift.

Gotcha goober...I admit the obnoxious, breech of conduct, and trollish wild-hair moments!

I hear you, bdobb. I got my moments.
