Chris Matthews Calls Out Female Republican Politicians For Double Standard on John Boehner's Tears (VIDEO)

On 'Hardball' (weekdays, 5 PM ET on MSNBC) Chris Matthews called on conservative political figures Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell -- all of whom have questioned the manhood of Democrat politicians in the past with phrases like "put on your manpants" -- to weigh in on John Boehner, the quick-to-cry rising Speaker of the House.

"Now, their numero uno, the man in charge, the stud duck of the Republican Party, the man right at the front is Mr. Tears, lonely tear drops, and they got no problem with it," Matthews complained.

Matthews probably has a really good point somewhere about double standards and the blindness of partisanship but, really, once he uses awesomely awkward and archaic phrases like "stud duck" and "lonely tear drops" we're just left to marvel at his wordsmanship.
