From naked shower fights to…back wax…and a Capitol Hill gropefest…now, interns…and… “tickle fights”…ugh…x-ray tumors, oh dear…
Scroll for more gross-out updates…
Okay, this week is grossing me out. Can we hit the reset button?
We’ve gone from crapweasel Eric Massa’s claims about naked shower summits with Rahm Emanuel to a Florida GOP Senate spat over…back wax.
FOX NEWS’ VAN SUSTEREN: And sort of a punch back which occurred previously is that you have said about your opponent, Mr. Rubio, that he is the greatest fraud perpetrated. So it sounds like you have had a couple of punches back as well. Why do you say that?
GOV. CHARLIE CRIST: Because he’s trying to pawn himself off as a fiscal conservative. And yet just in reason weeks, two weeks ago it has come out in news accounts he had a Republican Party of Florida credit card that he charged $130 haircut, or maybe it was a back wax — we are not sure what all he got at that place.
VAN SUSTEREN: Wait a second, stop. A back wax? Wait a second.
CRIST: I don’t know what it was, you know?
VAN SUSTEREN: I know, but was there a suggestion it was for a back wax or are you being flip?
No, he’s just being desperate. Rubio is now 32 points ahead of Crist.

RedState’s Erik Erikson is sending Crist back wax. What he really needs is stronger sunscreen. Yikes.
Now, where’s the reset button?

More grotesquerie in the Massa mess:
Former Rep. Eric Massa has been under investigation for allegations that he groped multiple male staffers working in his office, according to three sources familiar with the probe.
The allegations surrounding the New York Democrat date back at least a year, and involve “a pattern of behavior and physical harassment,” according to one source. The new claims of alleged groping contradict statements by Massa, who resigned his office on Monday after it became public that he was the subject of a House ethics committee investigation for possible harassment.
Massa had said that the allegations were limited to his use of “salty language” with his staff. He apologized for making some inappropriate comments and argued he was being unfairly villified. Days later, Massa accused the White House and Democratic congressional leaders of trying to oust him from office to improve their chances of passing health care reform legislation. Massa could not be reached for comment Tuesday, and no one answered the phone at his home in New York or his campaign office. Staff at his former congressional offices declined to relay messages to him and said they did not know how to reach him.
According to two sources familiar with the probe, Massa’s former deputy chief of staff Ron Hikel provided the information about the staffers’ allegations to the House ethics committee three weeks ago. Hikel had earlier sought advice from Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s office about brewing internal complaints, the sources said, and had been urged to report the allegations to the committee.
Creep Factor: 11!

Update: It gets worse. Interns…
The House ethics committee has received allegations that former Rep. Eric Massa groped at least three male staffers and conducted himself improperly with interns as well as full-time aides, a source familiar with the matter tells POLITICO.
One incident allegedly occurred when Massa traveled to San Francisco with an aide for a fundraising trip, a second source said.
Massa put himself outside the reach of the ethics committee by resigning his seat in a March 5 letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that was submitted on the House floor Tuesday.
The ethics committee announced last week that it had launched an investigation into allegations against Massa.
The former congressman, who claims he was pressured to resign because he planned to vote against a health care overhaul bill, has several television appearances lined up for Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Just a reminder that I took a lot of crap from my friends on the Right for coming out early against GOP predator Mark Foley.
I know a creep-o-crat when I smell one.

Update 5:17pm Eastern…Massa is on Beck…he opened by saying “he wasn’t forced out” of office and that he took responsibility and “owned his behavior.” Well, he has spent the last 48 hours claiming he was forced out. Which is it?
A yucky little chat about sexual indiscretion followed in which Massa mentioned the “tickle fights” he engaged in and stressed that they were not, in fact, sexual.
And next…Massa’s displaying x-rays of his tumor…
5:39pm Eastern. “Please don’t be a commercial,” Beck asks Massa. Massa continues to be a Democrat campaign commercial. Now saying the solution is “campaign finance reform.”
FAIL.
Beck apologizes for wasting America’s time. It was a painful object lesson, but in the end, I think, a useful one nonetheless.

Hiya Scrapper – ain’t it nice to see the rain washing away our snow “mountains”?
On the topic, tho. Though it was a snorefest, I’m glad Beck had the doofus on to help push the Democratic thuggery and insanity into the mainstream. Even Letterman, of all people, is goofing on the Rahm/WH shower shenanigans -
Rahm – Top 10
Yes, I like the rain…but I NEED the sun!!! Hopefully soon. At least it is warming up, thank God. Winter is about two months too long.
As for Beck…I am glad he did it too. He has made peace with MM and I think his followers will forgive any possible misteps on his part. He is truly an amazing voice for the return of freedom and liberty to this country and I will stand behind him!
I like rainy, cloudy days, Scrapper – but not all the time. It’ll nice to see the sun again.
Was just down picking up a few things at Oxboro, it was nice not have to muck through big dirty snow piles in the parking lot.
But, as you know, we can get some mighty nasty snowfall in March/1st week of April. I’m remembering 1983 -I think it was (mebbe ’84) – had to walk over a mile through hip deep snow to get to work!
The follow-up call by Michelle to Glenn today was very satisfying. Michelle was right about the guy, but the interview, crappy as it was, was also illustrative of the creep-o-crats (TM-Malkin). It also gave Michelle an opportunity to expose the House “ethics” panel.
I remember, I had an adult paper route back in 1984 and waded through the most enormous show drifts!! I believe we got 95 inches that year. It was rough, but I didn’t miss a single day!
You live by Oxboro? I am in Bloomington…West 107th Street!
I think it was the same instance, it was like a foot & 1/2 of snow one day – then the 2nd day after that another deluge of about the same size! Most snow I can remember in such a short time. Or at least such a huge snowpile that I had to go out in, hahaha.
I wouldn’t offer up my street, but we’re in the same neck o’ the woods, Scrapper. I remember when there was a Super-valu on Nic & 98th and when Festival was a Byerly’s. But yeah, Oxboro & Clover are my main shopping stops. I don’t even bother with The Mall – that’s for tourists!
purplepeep…we have probably passed each other at Festival or Bloomington Drug! Ha! Anyway, I didn’t feel too bad telling my street, as it would be pretty hard to find Happyscrapper on W. 107th Street.
The Mall? You mean there is a Mall near here? 
Well, that’s my drugstore, Scrapper, but this morn you’d more likely have caught me down a couple doors at MGM, lol.
I’m just extra careful not to put anything online that could be at all personally identifying – a healthy paranoia. (And your street isn’t a particularly long one. Just a caveat.)
We’re approx 1 & 1/2 miles apart as the crow flies, by the way.
Yeah, the only time I get to The Mall is when a relative is visiting from “outstate MN” and I somehow get dragged along as they “see the sights”. I’m more of a strip mall type of guy
I love Beck and MM…nothing like violent agreement! Have done that often in political arguments with people and it is always funny how it all turns out when you complete a big argument and later find out that you mostly agree.
