McConnell crys a river on Senate floor

Hmmm. The imagination runs wild. Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell "repeatedly chocked back sobs" on the Senate floor while speaking of his departing chief of staff.

Kyle Simmons, a longtime aide to the Senate minority leader, is leaving to spend more time with his family, McConnell said.

Don't they usually say that when they're running from some scandal? Or maybe his aide just couldn't stomach the destructive political tactics of his boss anymore.

I didn't watch the video, but here's the whole slobbering speech. [via Wonkette]
