Politics Wooden Joe Mallahan Cried?

True or not, it's worth remembering: it worked for Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.

I'm glad he's taking tips from President Clinton!

I don't think you know what "worked" means. Plus who cares? Why don't you call him a sissy next.

President Muskie. President Hillary. Yeah, Eli, there's a long history of success with crying on the campaign trail.

Way to prolong the, you know, story, or whatever you kids call things like this. Next up: "Fuzzy McGinn Designed Own Pedestal?"

Keep stroking that rumor.

Kind of gives you a sense of Seattle wuzzburgerness that a Mike McGinn can make another dude cry.

#5 didn't is campaign people say he teared up? The rumor was that he said he was in over his head.

It sounds like a pretty effective rumor. The only reason people are voting for Mallahan is because he's a tough manly businessman type, right? Nobody is denying he was crying at a fundraiser, that was confirmed.

He probably cried because he sold stock to run all those expensive ads and pay his high-priced consultants - and just saw the Dow broke 10,000.

He is in way over his head on this. You can see him crack at certain points when he let's his guard down. It's the same as when he was at TMO seeing the flexpay results and customer complaints. He is actually believing his own spin then has brief moments where he remembers he really isn't what he says he is. Do you think if he was the great businessman, job creator, leader that he claims to be TMO would be is the situation they are in now?? No they wouldn't.
