Cryin’ John got the trend treatment in Saturday’s Boston Globe.

Lede:

Speaker of the House John Boehner dabbed tears away Wednesday while waiting for Nancy Pelosi to hand him the gavel. Mitch McConnell, the Senate minority leader, choked up last month while delivering a farewell to departing Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire. And, at the other extreme of celebrity, overnight sensation Ted Williams, the homeless man hired by the Cleveland Cavaliers this week, cried on the “Today’’ show Thursday when talking about his mother.

It’s enough to make one think that it’s suddenly become acceptable for men to cry in public.

But, predictably, it’s not.

Yet despite all the high-profile bawling, regular guys say they’re no more comfortable tearing up in front of others.

From there, it’s all predictable. But definitely relatable.
