Democrats aren't about to cede ground on this ridiculous point. House Speaker (soon-to-be minority leader) Nancy Pelosi shows, in a similar ball-kick to House Republican minority leader (soon-to-be Speaker) John Boehner, that she can play the gender card just as well. (Via The Hill):
"You know what? He is known to cry. He cries sometimes when we’re having a debate on bills. If I cry, it’s about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics — no, I don’t cry. I would never think of crying about any loss of an office, because that’s always a possibility, and if you’re professional, then you deal with it professionally," Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times magazine.

Great headline Gary.
One of the best headlines I have seen. Thanks for the laugh.
How is she pulling a Boehner? Boehner cries and she is talking about how she doesn't cry. I don't see how your headline is appropo.
Just like the rest of journalism, your headline is more about pulling SEO and less about actually informing readers. Lie to the search engine and RSS feed and you'll get readers. Bad policy for journalism and bad policy for a good blog. Sorry Gary.
This is one of the key reasons the profession is going south. No sense of humor. The headline is funny. I guess a sense of humor is a bad thing in journalism. You can't please all, keep pleasing those who enjoy a good laugh as well as being informed.
how about the headline yesterday in lang on page one...was it the cop who killed the suspect with the ax?
Anon 5:33: One headline does not an SEO strategy make. Besides, word play is discourage when it comes to SEO - in which the point is to try to match headlines and content to the exact phrases people use in search engines. In this case, the headline was funny to some, not to others, and did nothing to boost traffic to the site (probably because the blog isn't a destination for people following Congress). You'll know I've gone SEO when the headlines become literal.
