Mr. Speaker Cries During Golf Interview

US House Speaker John Boehner has a reputation for wearing his emotions on his sleeve. He’s cried over Winston Churchill. He’s cried over America’s faltering economy. He’s even cried over legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, who is still alive, by the way. Which could explain why he chokes up during this Golf Channel interview.

"I wanted to make sure that every kid had the same chance I did — an opportunity…" And that’s really all he can muster before reaching for the tissue box.

"I’m a pretty emotional guy," Boehner said once during a 2010 interview, and everyone’s pretty clear on that, now.
