Tears of a Canidate

On friday, The typically aggresive Newt Gingrich shed a few tears when he was about his mother who passed away in 2003 due to bipolar disorder and depression. Gingrich's display of pain over his mother was compared to Hilary Clinton. In the democratic primary race four years ago, Hilary Clinton cried at an event when asked about the pressures and hardships of the election. These two occurances were compared because, some people looked at them as stunts to get ahead in each of their campaigns. Using sympathy to win voters hearts. The author of the article, Susan Page, seems to not have any sympathy for Gingrich. She named the article Newt Gingrich weeps as he recalls his mom. "Weeps" isn't really a good conotation of "cry". It's as if she's calling him a wuss.
