Prime Minister Gillard is the only woman besides my wife that makes me cry!
When is this going to be over, sigh.

John Boo Boo Boehner battles back tears as he tries to impose a no cry zone in the House of Representatives!
You love me; you really love me. I never believed in fate before this.
Perfect timing. The Restasis drops just kicked in.
"Oh Prime Minister if only I could live in Australia. Tanning beds are giving me an orange completion."
Whenever I think of Australia I think of Kawala bears, and I weep like a six year old girl.
Oh how I wish I'd applied the Preparation H.
I clap, and yet I weep. I am both happy and sad at once. I have confused myself.
Why can't people understand!.....I'm not a bad person, just a cry baby
It is sad to see the space shuttle Discovery retire.
I am really touched by the candidacy of Donald Trump.
Boehner: It hurts me to see Qaddafi killing his people.
Why not me 🙁
Johm Boehner thinks to himself: "I wish I had tiger blood!"
"When is her speech gonna end? I can't hold it much longer."
"Oh my god, she's an atheist... I'm so sad."
I am so touched somebody likes us. She does, she does, she really does like us.

Who cares about them!! The Senate isn't going pass MY OUTRAGEOUS spending cuts (boohoo) I WANT MY MOMMY......
Silent but deathly.
"Poor Bambi. I can't believe his mother died!"
A Congressman shouts, "There is no crying in Baseball!" To this Speaker Boehner applauds.
OMG I am starting to look pale.
I am so sad, due to budget cuts I have to give up Rosie, my tanning bed.
Some day, and that day may never come, I will call on you for a service... until then, see this as a favor on my daughter's wedding day.
Why the tea party don't like me? I almost want to cry.
I get so emotional baby, everyone I think of you.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!
Looks like Boehner has a soft spot for the Aussies. 😀
I need a drink, darn it.
My sun lamp broke and George Hamilton won't loan me his.
Some day – perhaps 2016 – we, too, will have a woman Head of State.
Great!! I'm late for my my tanning appointment.
Republican's can be girly men, too.
After hearing about the troubles at NPR John Boehner holds back his happy tears while thinking we got them now!
Oh, no, there's Congressman Issa again, with his Impeach Obama sign.
Laugh if you will, but budget cutting takes a toll on one's emotions.
Why can't Sarah Palin and other Republican women be articulate as the prime minister?
Imagine how Hillary Clinton must be feeling.
I think she had onion for breakfast.
She said America...she said that we...she said America is great.
Sheen was right!!...he said my face would melt off & my children would weep over my exploded body!
The speaker of the House looks speechless.
I'm crying (sniff-sniff) because....because the gosh darn Democrats... they (sniff) wouldn't let a woman break that glass ceiling. The Aussies beat us to it.
Julia Gillard reminds John Boehner of the budget deficit.
I'm trying to hold back the tears. Maybe if I clap.
John Boehner cries for Australia.
Unfortunately, the Australians braced themselves yet again for another flood.
