1. Drunken sot. n/t

2. John O'Boehner gets all misty listening to Irish music?

I would think, given the likely nationality of his surname as well as his political inclinations, he'd be more moved by a stirring rendition of the Horst Wessel Lied.

9. Reflecting on Irish history is enough to make anyone cry

The things those wonderful folks have been through are chilling.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. True, except I doubt Boehner was crying over the plight of the Irish.

[Siwsan]

3. I suspect he tears up listening to elevator music

4. Who was playing? Dropkick Murphy's?

They'd have made him cry.

For help.

6. They were listening to "Danny Boy"...I can relate, if done right it's beautiful..n/t

7. Maybe Some Day He'll Go Back To Dear Old Ireland

I always tear up when I think of Albert Finney's Thompson machine gun accompaniment to "Danny Boy", in the movie "Miller's Crossing".

8. Did he smear his OompaLoompa makeup?
