CNN showing footage of John Boehner being moved to tears by the Pope's address.
No shame, my brother. I was moved as well.
Thank you for inviting the Holy Father to address Congress!

Boehhner was crying before the speech was even given, wiping away tears with his hankechief when he was just standing beside the Pope. Boehner gets teary at the slightest provocation.

John Boehner has announced he is resigning at the end of October. Evidently just too moderate for the right-wingers? Anyhow, I'm betting he will move on up to some kind of lobbyist position.

Concerning Boehner's resignation, I would agree with N.Y. Republican rep. Peter King:
"To me, this is a victory for the crazies "
If one of the nitwit ultra conservative backed reps gets elected to the position third in line for the presidency and one of the key persons to put forth legislation in the congress, get ready for some real nasty debate and gridlock in DC.
