Crying? You Call That Crying?

Much (far, far too much) has been made of Hillary's "tearing up" moment earlier this week, so let's see if we can put this to bed.

Moronic questions have included: "Was she faking it for political purposes?" (Not hardly.) "Can someone who shows this kind of emotion be President?" (Yes, please!) "Is this how a woman President is going to react when we're attacked by terrorists? Burst into tears?" (Beats sticking to the "Pet Goat" book, in my opinion.)

But what really galls me is: that ain't crying. Her voice quavered, maybe. Her eyes may (just may) have moistened a bit...(listen to me, I'm just like the rest of the punditocracy.)

Look, bottom line...you wanna see crying? Here's crying.

If people REALLY wanna see crying they should just wait until A) they get their property tax bill, B) try to sell their home, or C) attempt to retire before age 80.

Hell, I'm crying now and I have not yet experienced any of the above.
