Here it is 2340 x 1604 pixels. That would be about 5x7 inch at 300 dpi, but it would print reasonably well at 150 dpi so you could print it 11 x 14 if you like. DU will scale it for the thread, but if you want the full size, just save it, or right-click View Image and save it.

Photo of Boehner crying as Nancy Pelosi prepares to hand over the Speaker's gavel in 2011.
Notice how the adult in the room is in command of her emotions.
Imagine the flow when Boehner has to give up the gavel.

I wonder if he has always been like this, or if it is the result of his coping skills/methods in dealing with the pressures of high office.

It's bizarre to me-- when people first started alluding to it, I thought they were kidding. I mean, really-- he bawls like a baby!!!

He's grotesque!!!

I could be wrong, but much like the case with Tom Delay, I get the feeling that the sun is always over the yardarm, where Mr. Boehner is concerned.

Did you know TD used to be an exterminator before he got "into politics??" Doesn't that just figure? How ironic. (No offense meant to decent folk who do this for a living.)

I don't know much about alcohol overindulgence, but, unless Boner is tippling "on the job" (if you want to call it a job), why would he be such a blubberer? If he were soused most of the time, that would make more sense. I don't get him, this bizarre orange man.

or when he's between drinks . . .
or hasn't had a drink.

Damn, this is too easy. Boner doesn't have a drinking problem, he's got a fully stocked bar in his office to prevent any problems, and has interns to make sure it stays that way.

I do not mean to mock the pain that alcoholism causes so many families. I don't think Boner is ready for an intervention -- but I do think he spends way to much time imbibing when he should be making, ahem, sober decisions about America and the governance of its people.

Good points and of course you weren't mocking those who have problems with alcohol. But to hell with interventions-- let's just kick him OUT. He and his other "brethren."

Repulsive

PS I used to like Cheetos-- no more!! Seriously!! Have you ever looked at the ingredients? Those ingredients make up what passes for Boner's "soul."

Enriched Corn Meal (Corn Meal, Ferrous Sulfate, Niacin, Thiamin Monoitrate, Riboflavin, and Frolic Acid), Vegetable Oil (Contains one or more of the following: corn, soybean, or sunflower oil), Whey, Salt, Cheddar Cheese, (Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes). Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Maltodextrin, Disodium Phosphate, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Nonfat Milk), Artificial Flavor, Monosodium Glutmate, Lactic Acid, Artificial Colors (Including Yellow 6), and Citric Acid. Contains Milk Ingredients.

Oh, and buckets of tears

(No offense to those who like Cheetos)
