Sprinkler of the House

As I was looking for political cartoons relating to current issues, I came across this about Boehner. The cartoon is called Sprinkler of the House, which is obviously John Boehner, the SPEAKER of the house. He has a reputation for crying about almost everything. In the cartoon, there is the former Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and she is telling him to do what she did, "have your tear ducts removed". Boehner is saying "I cry for the kids who will have to pay for these tax cuts for the rich!", and the cartoon is showing that he is crying, when he shouldn't be because he is rich and we have to pay the tax cuts for him. The funny thing about the cartoon that caught my interest was the "Sprinkler of the House" title. I think it's clever how they turned speaker into sprinkler. This cartoon doesn't have any relation to a current political event but in class, while we were watching Jeff Smith, he started to cry and the comment about Boehner was made.
