Weapon of Massa distraction: Cold showers and hot conspiracies
Don’t trust Democrat Rep. Eric Massa any further than you can throw him.
He’s been a progressive zealot and political opportunist his entire career. He’s claimed conspiracy before, is intimately bonded with the nutroots, and climbed the political ladder with backing from the odious, anti-war-hoaxer-embracing Gen. Wesley Clark. What Massa dismissively calls his “salty old sailor” talk should raise bright red flags about possible longstanding predatory behavior.
Creep factor: 10.
Look, I’m as happy as anyone to see Rahmbo and the Chicago Way slammed so openly by another Democrat. Naked shower fights? Blue-on-blue catfights?
Yep, it confirms everything I’ve been writing about the Obama Culture of Corruption the last two years.
But.
He’s a sick, desperate pol looking to save his hide and distract from his smelly ethics problems and personal problems. This is not a hero, not a bona fide champion of reform and integrity in government. He’s the jerk who gave the figurative middle finger to his own constituents as he proclaimed last year that he would ram single-payer down their throats no matter what they thought:
So, last year he’s the pol willing to go kamikaze to pass nationalized health care.
And now, tainted by scandal, he’s running to Fox News to cast himself as a warrior against Obamcare and its left-wing overlords?
A radical backer of the Big Labor card check bill, he’s now trashing union corruption.
C-r-a-p-w-e-a-s-e-l.
We don’t need this weapon of Massa distraction to indict the Obama thugs and to expose the Demcare bribe-a-thon. Don’t need him to keep the no-mentum going.
Stay on the pro-life House Democrats.
Keep pounding away at the vulnerable House members.
And keep your eyes on St. Louis. Gateway Pundit Jim Hoft has the latest details:
This Is Your Last Best Chance to Show the President You Don’t Want Obamacare—
2 Protests Are Planned……….
–The first protest is at 9:45 AM at the St. Charles Convention Center
–The second protest is at 5:30 at the at the Renaissance Grand hotel in downtown St. Louis.HELP WELCOME OBAMA TO MISSOURI ON WEDNESDAY—–
** Health Care Rally at St. Charles Convention Center (map, directions, parking) at 9:45 AM on Wednesday March 10, 2010.
The Wednesday Rally called by Rep. Todd Akin & GOP House Leader John Boehner is the federal-healthcare equivalent of “The Gunfight at the OK Corral” for Missouri!
We need ALL HANDS ON DECK, and ALL BOOTS on the Ground!! If you can take time off work, if you can leave your children or elderly parent with a sitter (or bring them)…if you can at all make this rally – DO IT!
This may be it! Pelosi is trying to bring this to the floor for a vote in the coming days…and is strong-arming all the moderate dems into voting for Obamacare Socialized Medicine – and Federally Funded Abortion. In a “nuclear option” procedure that was never intended for major social mandates, Nancy & Harry…and Leader Obama – clearly intend to disenfranchise well over half of the American People!
This is despite the fact they themselves condemned this same procedure a mere few years ago!
Thanks to Brenda WebbThe Second Protest planned by the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition is planned for 5:30 on Wednesday night downtown in St. Louis across from the Renaissance Grand hotel.
Check back here or at the St. Louis Tea Party Coalition website for more details. We are tentatively planning on meeting at 5:00 PM and are asking protesters to wear black.

But it is so fun to watch…
and it is interesting that there are no curtains in the locker room showers … eeeeuuuuuwwww
From the sounds of it – Beck not only swallowed line and sinker but the fishhook too! Perfect visionary for a ‘toon or photoshop.
You REALLY don’t want to know what ELSE went on in the showers.
GladzKravtz
That takes me back to high school with a ahum….a coach that liked to stare at teenaged girl’s little bottoms. She was a wide as a Caterpiller earth mover.
My thinking is, Glenn will get to the bottom of this. He does have a way to get the truth, if a d or r. If massa is a fraud, I think Glenn will give massa enough rope to hang him or not.
To me, the bottom line, some in dc get a pass, others don’t. Our dear this bho and team will do whatever they have to do to get it done!
L
Rahm must be dragging a pretty big pair to walk up to another man in the shower stark nekkid and get close enough to poke the other man’s chest.
I don’t care who you are, that’s just frooty.
What a coincidence! I, too, like to stare at teenaged girl’s little bottoms.
And I’m as wide as a Caterpillar earth mover, too.
Dean speaks in DC. Insurance company conference in DC. Next time, have that conference in Las Vegas. DC is a home game for radicals. Make them take a trip and their numbers get thin fast.
Massa will be on Glenn Beck tomorrow for a full hour…should be interesting….
I love the guy’s name, too.
Reminds me of the old spiritual “Massa’s in de Cold, Cold Groun’.”
Make a “citizens arrest of an insurance company”? The whole company?
LOL – that’s one of the funniest damned things I’ve ever heard! What maroons:)
More popcorn please. The D.C. crime syndicate is starting to eat its own.
Could be. I have as little respect for the political class as you could find, but it seems he’s always been a bombastic sort. In fact, here’s a YouTube vid from an earlier date of Rahm telling him to tone his act down.
Rahm – Massa
We don’t need him, but the Democrats need him even less. Anytime they’re running around trying to stamp out their internal fires, that’s a good thing.
I wouldn’t make any one person or group the focus – even the pro-life Dems, since a bone tossed their way (another Obama bribe) can easily flip them.
All of these elements are helpful as a whole, but I agree putting all one’s eggs in any individual basket is counter-productive.
“Don’t trust Democrat…..”
OR Republican, MM, that’s the thing that none of them are getting no matter how much noise we make to get their attention.
I think curtains might be more a girl’s locker room thing, Gladz.
OK, Michelle, tell us what he said that was not true, or that we did not already know?
You know it’s as bad as he states.
Remember the days when we used to mock Greece, France and Italy for all of the communist union strikes that seem to be perpetually going on? That and all of the violence that accompanies these strikes may soon be party of the American landscape if we don’t nip this in the bud. Ban government employee unions NOW! No taxpayer funding for unions!
Maybe this guy is a scumbag; he’s a liberal afterall. BUT that doesnt make it any less plausible that he was set up for his no vote on Obama care. His motives in singing dont concern me; the facts do. Why should THAT be ignored Michelle? Isn’t that part of proving the uber-corruption of this President and his Gestapo like administration??
OK, Michelle, tell us what he said that
You’re kind of missing my point.
Promoting Massa as some kind of hero/savior is a bad, bad idea.
Excellent post, Michelle.
The blue-on-blue tell-all should be entertaining tomorrow, but you are correct that we can’t let that distract us…
If Massa really wanted to kill the bill, he would have stayed and voted no. By leaving he is actualy helping them pass it.
Thanks for keeping us focused on where our efforts can really make a difference in killing this bill.
This is just one of those threads that could have gone down the toilet so quickly and I want to congratulate all of you who didn’t take things in that direction. Bravo! It looks like the major pervs are still in the showers at Capitol Hill…
This Rahm guy just keeps looking creepier and creepier. Is he supposed to be registered on one of those sex offender watch lists somewhere on the internet? Has anyone made sure?
My advice to anyone in the shower with either of those two is if you drop the soap KICK IT TO THE DOOR.
*Well put Michelle; I always refer to my mantra of “don’t trust, then verify why”; Massa is a perfect example and you don’t have to do much in the way of digging on this guy; For me, almost all of those in D.C. are either coated with pond scum or have the stink of it on them; We have to remedy this problem come November no matter the outcome on Obamacare.
*I will keep the pressure on my Rep., who was a previous NO, but is now waffling; Refer to mantra above!
I guess I can’t see the significance of Mr Massa. Just another flatulence in the Washington wind – a brief malodorous moment. Michelle is correct to point out he should not be elevated to any heroic stature, but hey, if he is a BarryCare no vote, knock yourself out politicritter. Then go away.
I reckon Michelle answered that pretty well, tarpon – I’d just add that while the message may be right, the messenger isn’t quite right. That could result in backside wounds if the boomerang comes back atcha.
So nuke a bag of popcorn and watch the Democrats try to deal with this – it’s their problem. Besides, as Red Pill sez above, if the Massa were serious about this he would’ve stayed in to vote down Obamacare.
I find it curious that Massa attacked these people after he quit. If he were innocent as he claims why didn’t he stay and fight? The whole episode smells and it makes all the Dems and politicians in general seem venal, power-mad, self-serving and slimy…
I bet Rahm wouldn’t be traipsing around like that in the shower had he known that Massa likes to pee in the shower just like George Constanza.
(munching popcorn) More cheese Gromit!
Massa may be sick and desperate, but his stories have been great theatre today. I, too, wondered why he didn’t stick around to vote “no”. In the long run, he is still a liberal.
A vicious ballerina accusing anyone for being gay is pretty funny.
Great movie poster photoshop from Rush’s site:
The Hurt Locker Room
Related to blue on blue fratricide. Did you catch Dan Rather’s comment over the weekend?
Dan is a RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST! Imagine if Beck had said this.
Rather on Obama: “Listen he’s a nice person, he’s very articulate” this is what’s been used against him, “but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.”
“Rahm, Rahm, ah-ah-ah-ah,
Roma, Roma, ah-ah
GaGa, ooh la lah,
Want your bad romance!
But, it’s the only income they have!
Shockingly, everything we really know about the Mafia, comes from mobsters. Usually, when they spill the beans it’s to save their own hides. Again, it’s kinda the way it works. There wouldn’t be too many mobsters behind bars if we relied on the uninvolved.
To emphasize what I mentioned earlier on not putting your eggs in any one basket to defeat Obamacare:
Stupak: Health bill abortion fight can be resolved
“Prospects are good for resolving a dispute over abortion that has led some House Democrats to threaten to withhold support of President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, a key Michigan Democrat said Monday. “I’m more optimistic than I was a week ago,” Stupak said in an interview between meetings with constituents in his northern Michigan district.” (AP)
The “pro-life Dems” are just looking to be tossed a few bones (aka “bribes for votes”) and they will sign on for Obamacare.
He’s anything but a hero.
I just wish he would have stuck around long enough to vote against Obamacare, and maybe perform a tormented real life version of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”.
In the end, a Democrat is a Democrat. Anything they say or believe in has an expiration date, strictly for political, social or self-gratifying reasons.
If he was innocent of the charges AND an honorable man, he would have stayed and fought. He is just trying to be a victim and looking to drag conservatives on his side because they oppose the health care boondoggle. Yes to the opposition, no to falling for Massa’s call to victimhood.
You couldn’t be more right…they are demorats in the end(no pun intended), remember.
Sammy the Bull wasn’t the cream of the crop as far as respectable witnesses go. Massa is a smacker-head of the highest order….but….maybe he’ll spill some juicy beans on the ol’ gang.
I for one look forward to what he has to say tomorrow on Beck’s show. It’s quite possible he may figure..
“hey, what the hell?
Why not bring the whole gang down wit me?”
But hero he ain’t!
Very entertaining though.
But if some feigned hero-worship from our side emboldens him to drag some scum down with him, I don’t have a problem obliging him. Pass the popcorn!
Maybe you can get onto Beck’s program Wednesday to rebut what this bum says tomorrow, Michelle.
It seems (as most times that he is wrong) that Glenn acted in haste getting Massa on his program for a full hour interview. It would be great to have you on there to set the record straight.

If he scores points against Obama and the corrupt “Tammandy Hall”, let’s use him. We need “useful idiots” too, if it will convince some to sit down and think about the mess in D.C..
He’s not a useful idiot. He is just an idiot.
This idiot is a crackpot opportunist. Whether the opportunity is with young boys or some political football like ObamaCare, he’s out for his own self gratification.
It’s pretty sickening. Then again, most Dems are pretty sickening…. as are all RINO’s.
This entire sordid affair involving Massa is so indicative of the people holding office in Washington, DC. I say enough is enough. What good is an ethics committee when NO ONE
Sorry….computer glitch.
rest of my sentence: is ethical….
Nice job on Glenn’s radio program today, Michelle. I caught the tail end of it, and you really made your point well from what I was able to catch.
Also, Glenn made his point well, and convinced me that we really should watch his program tonight before we judge his decision to include this dirtbag in his fight against DC corruption. 5PM folks. Don’t miss it.

It is not the nice people who witness Chicago politics first hand. Its the scumbags like Massa, who see Rahm the DeadFish do his Mafia thuggery pose naked in the shower. It is not wise to dismiss this based on Massa’s credibility. The White House is a conspiracy, so why let them off the hook?
Right on Michelle, he is not a poster boy because he is in a p!$$!ng match with the dem party. We should all laugh as they get their shoes wet, but to think he is the next Zell Miller is beyond a stretch. He’s a gay pol with friends like General Clark. Besides which, he’s obviously seriously demented.
I just watched Glenn’s show from earlier (on tape – people needed the TV and I was cooking and eating dinner during the actual show). I do see Glenn’s point in that we may have overreacted to his decision to have this interview.
I also agree with what Glenn said at the end of his show. The interview was a waste of time. All that was accomplished was a chance for this dirtbag to pull a Jimmy Swaggart and try to rescue a tiny thread of a reputation, something that could have been done anywhere, preferably alone with his family where it would have had a chance to make a difference.
No new information. No real contrition. Just someone trying to make himself look the victim when he was the villain all along.
Thanks, Michelle, for your efforts in trying to get him to reconsider. Had you succeeded, we may have had fewer barf bags to fill.

Also, OT, if you don’t mind a shameless plug, I’ve updated the Federalist Party Platform with ideas that were submitted by my readers. It’s not appreciably different from the original, but there were some refinements that were worth incorporating.
The Party really only exists in concept. We Federalists are more of a grassroots movement as opposed to an organized one. The platform is a statement of what a political party should be shooting for if it wants our votes.
Of course, Michelle, if you find this comment out of line, please do not hesitate to delete it.
