Bill Clinton to Boehner: "I like it when you cry" - azmouse - 05-17-2012 09:30 AM

Quote:Bush, Clinton, and Boehner: Tears and Laughter on Behalf of United Flight 93

Just because the evening had a somber theme--remembering the 40 people who died on United Flight 93--it didn't rule out some laughs for the dinner guests, especially since the jokes were courtesy of two former presidents, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, and the Speaker of the House, John Boehner. Almost reliably, Boehner puddled up, and Clinton, like the ace batter he is, hit the tear-stained moment over the far wall.

"I know I get a little teary," Boehner said as he spoke about the passengers who forced hijacked Flight 93 into a death spiral on September 11, 2001. "I'm a great crier. I've met a lot of people who come over to me and say, 'I like you. I'm a crier, too.' "

When Clinton took the stage, he said, "Mr. Speaker, I like it when you cry. You give new meaning to compassionate conservative." The audience roared.

Great comeback by Clinton! With Willard using BClinton as the ideal Democratic president in his speeches lately, and trying to stir up something between BC and PBO, Willard will learn the hard way. Don't use BC as bait, he'll come back with more than you bargained for. Wink
