I don’t know if these details have any meaning or not. Some I am more sure about than others. Orange? Ok, not necessarily an issue. Weeping? Well, it does invite speculation, no? And, has anyone else noticed that his diction is a little sloppy, or is that just moi?
Did you mean to put this in GD?

Yes. I am curious about the presentation of the guy in such odd detail. I think it detracts from a real debate about the guy as Speaker. But who knows, maybe the details are somehow meaningful, like a code or something.
I don’t see a debate of any sort, (unless you think that there is a legitimate point to debate regarding the color tones on your television).
You are seeking opinions and I am sending this to IMHO.
(Nevermind.)
I do not think it is my opinion that the guy is orange, nor that that fact is strange. I do not think his sloppy diction is a matter of opinion, nor the oddness of his weeping.
What, exactly, is your problem tomndebb?
Maybe that your interrogations are not written as a debate starter. He does have a strange colour, that said he also has a very nice voice (I’m very voice sensitive).
I guess it means that the Order of the House of Orange has reached the 21st Century. Wilhelmina would be so proud.
Is he an Orange American (like Ms. Snookie) or an Orangeman? Orange you glad you don’t know? And the slurring and crying? Maybe he’s a drunk. Is his skin color natural, or spray on? A condition like too much beta-carotene?
I think that the crying thing is a trend to look sincere to right wing Christians and distract from their awful policies and hypocrisy.
Well I for one figured out why he’s weeping all the time. It came to me a couple of weeks ago when I was channel surfing and happened upon the interview Boehner was giving to Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes. I caught the program in progress already and thought to myself: “damn here’s the douche that preventing our country from moving forward… I suppose I should listen to what ideas this jackass has to vomit.” the interview went on and on and Then! The camera switches and the shot shows him sitting next to a transvestite. I thought to myself: “wow, for representing all the vilest, most bassackward ideology of the country, he’s behaving himself quite respectfully around that tranny sitting next to him, aaand he’s giving an interview together to boot! I would have thought he couldn’t even be in the same room as Pelosi! I thought wrong! I judged this man wrongfully! … ,” that is, until the interview continued a bit more and realized that it was his wife sitting next to him… Uff yikes… That is why we have a weeper of the house.
Really? So you think those are facts? I mean, really?
He’s orange, he weeps. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Heard this on SNL a few weeks ago: “Orange you glad to see me?”
<rimshot>
Meh. I am not going to accomplish anything arguing with the mods. I surrender.
My point is that this guy strikes me as all about distraction. What was the sub-plot of the 111th Congress? Filibuster abuse. To what end? Why, to end debate. Who is their leader in the House? Mr. Boehner.
Everything I’ve seen of him involves the recitation of Republican talking points, and really nothing else. Those talking points raise a lot of questions, but whether he only takes powder-puff interviews, is ultra-dodgy, or who knows what, you never hear any details or even straight answers from him. Just a return to the talking points. So to me he comes across as hiding something and more importantly, thoroughly insincere. It also makes what he says utterly vapid and not subject for debate for as long as he keeps up this talking point game. Which leave the ‘hagiography’ to discuss. (is there a non-religious word for that?)
So. Insincere guy paints himself orange once he gets in the spotlight. It has to be on purpose. I took at it as his looking for the reaction, “Congratulations to Mr. Boehner, the first Orange Speaker of the House!” as some kind of swipe at Obama or commentary on race. But… if that’s the case, I don’t really get it.
Who paints their face and cries? Sad clowns. That’s what I’m picking up off this guy. Like a clown, the plan is to turn the House into a circus spectacle which can get nothing done. Painting himself orange is one more spectacle to add to all the bs he talks, add it to the Tea Party spectacle, the relentless dumb-ideas from Republicans spectacle… see what I mean?
But he does have a nice voice. Pretty eyes too.
Actually the fact that he cries whenever he comes to the realization of “how far he’s made it” (as a run of the mill white guy), betrays the extent of his delusion; just how much psychological damage this gentleman has suffered throughout his life is astounding, and it’s clearly evident his mental instability prevents him from having the smallest inkling of common sense, rationality, vision or valor. It is truly scary how he’s actually two heart attacks away from ru(i)nning the world. I truly cannot wait until all the teaparty geezers die off of old age, or all the ignorant young unemployed teapartiers die off from starvation… (sorry, low blow)…
