CRY BABIES

It’s one thing for a guy to sniffle at the end of Casablanca. Quite another to cry at the end of American Idol. And yet it seems that lately grown men have taken to blubbing like infants for the slimmest reasons. Didn’t the Scriptures say something about “and lo, there shall be wailing and sobbing and blowing of noses about dead playboy centerfolds with enormous bazoombas…” No? Well, they should have, because…it’s happening.

Florida judge Larry Seidlin sobs like a baby with a full diaper as he makes a ruling on the Anna Nicole Smith case. Give that man a pacifier.

Representative John Boehner (R-OH) blubbers on about how those nasty, horrible terrorists attacked us, er, six years ago. Aw, poor wickle Mr. Boner. Weren’t Republicans supposed to be strong on defense? http://thinkprogress.org/2007/05/24/boehner-weeps-again/

Bush, Sr. must have taken Hasselhoff's performance to heart. In December, the ex-President turned on the waterworks through a speech about how his Jeb is a hell of a leader. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16053170/
