‘Nightly Show’ Reminds Us Who Made Washington’s Original Waterworks (VIDEO)

“The Nightly Show” reminded viewers on Wednesday’s episode that the man who cried Washington original waterworks wasn’t President Barack Obama despite Tuesday’s tears.

Washington’s original cryer was former House Speaker John Boehner.

Larry Wilmore obtained a Tuesday statement from the former Speaker.

“The President has never respected that crying is what I do. Nobody in Washington ever cried before John Boehner started crying,” the statement read. “And now he’s Mr. Waterworks on live television? GTFO, Obama.”

“Tears are MY thing, K?” the statement continued.

  1. Wait, Boener is back and he came back to lean on Obama?
    He swore that upon his departure he was going to still constantly work on repealing Obamacare, basically trying to justify his absolute idiocy and fecklessness throughout his term as Speaker, and now he wants to use the President to somehow make him seem as not quite the pathetic, sobbing whinebag that he was.

    Sorry, but Barack’s genuine, heartfelt tears aren’t the same as Boener’s alcohol infused emotional outbursts. I think he’s more wasted now than he was when his alcohol was free.
    Have another round Johnny boy and as soon as the gulp goes down, shut your fly trap.
