His tears don’t bother me at all. Of course, I came from a family where my father could never mention his family (be it parents, children, siblings, spouse) without a tear coming to his eye and his voice cracking.
GWB shed quite a few tears too. To me, it’s not a sign of weakness, just a sign of passion, and possibly in Beck’s case a sign of frustration at what is happen in Washington.
It seems that in this life only the bad do not shed tears.
