Boehner cries,Spring Crazy bus sighted

It is a little early and there is still plenty of snow on the ground but time to roll out the Sneigwh Crazy Bus for the first time this spring.
Two Boehner related items of interest here as we charge into what may be a government shutdown. Has it really been over ten years since then Speaker Newt Gingrich shut down the government? Newt never cried though.

Boehner sheds tears

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) thanked House Republicans for standing by him and supporting him through tense negotiations with the White House. The Republican conference responded with a standing ovation which prompted Boehner to cry.

"Yes. He cried, but only briefly”

And this,which if the government is shutdown could determine who wins.
Whatever winning may mean.

Boehner falling out of favor

It hasn't taken John Boehner long to fall out of favor with the American public. His national approval rating has dropped a net 18 points already since the beginning of January. At the outset of the year 35% of voters approved of the job he was doing to 28% who disapproved and 37% who were reserving judgment. Now his approval has declined 10 points to 25% and his disapproval has risen 8 points to 36%.

[…]What might be most remarkable about Boehner's numbers is that Nancy Pelosi now has a higher approval rating than him- 30% to his 25%.
