Naked & Arguing Politicians: Rahm & Massa in the Congressional Showers (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on March 9, 2010
I really don’t want a picture in my head of Rep. Eric Massa or Obama’s Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel naked and angrily arguing about health care reform in the congressional showers, but that nasty image is there now. Ewwwww…
It ain’t pretty, my friends.
From RealClearPolitics, Massa: Rahm Emanuel “Would Sell His Own Mother” For Votes:
“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn, Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) said. “He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote. He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.”
Rep. Massa describes a confrontation with Emanuel in a shower: “I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me.”

But these claims of Massa’s have made me sit up and listen. Wow. Is he Pelosi’s “yesterday’s garbage” because he had announced that he wouldn’t vote for toxic ObamaCare? Was Massa pushed to resign because Pelosi and Emanuel decided he was worth nothing to them on the health care vote? I didn’t see that coming.
Nice Deb has expressed similar thoughts in her blog…
From Nice Deb: Has Eric Massa Been Framed?:
Last week, when the news of the House Ethics Committee investigation of Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) came out, I didn’t follow the story closely. Another ethics-challenged corruptocrat, I yawned, big deal.
I should have been suspicious, because – why would House Dems be investigating one of their own, without any outside pressure? Pelosi stood by corruptocrat Charlie Rangel until the bitter end… until it was no longer publicly tenable to do so.
And today I find out that Massa’s no vote on ObamaCare is the deciding vote – (according to Massa)? And he’s charging that the Dems are going after him because they will stop at nothing to pass ObamaCare?
Remember… Speaker of the House Nancy “I Am Royalty” Pelosi will do ANYTHING, ANYTHING, ANYTHING it takes to pass ObamaCare. Rahm Emanuel, Harry Reid, and the POTUS Man-Child himself will do the same. This bill has had too much of Obama’s and Congress’s time and energy devoted to it for them to ease up now. Too much is at stake, too much invested.
The vote is scheduled for March 18… turn the heat on, contact Congress and let them know, firmly but politely, that voting for this unsustainable, government-power grab of a health care bill is NOT acceptable, that it will be political suicide for them. For those congressmen and women who have stood strong against it, please call them and commend them for listening to the American people.

Is Rep. Bart Stupak the next Dem. to cave in to White House pressure on the Health Care Bill?
In my conversation today with a staffer of Bart Stupak, the staffer seemed more interested in pointing out that the Senate bill was NOT the only option. When I pointed out that reconciliation could only be used as a budgetary ammendment to the Senate Bill, the staffer was quick to point out that the House Bill was also a consideration. Huh? Is some new strategy being considered by the Rahm led Pressure, Inc. arm of the White House to end run the Anti Abortion 11 in the House? The next 9 days should be very interesting.
Glenn Beck stated today that he has Massa on his TV show tonight.
I will be watching.
AFVET,
Let me know your impressions on the interview, if you don’t mind – we don’t have cable at home (plus, I’ll be working late tonight), so I won’t be able to view it until it hits YouTube.
Will do Vicki.
Beck’s interview w/Massa.
I wasn’t impressed, neither was Glenn.
Beck tried his best to get him to come out of his shell, but it was a no go.
At the end of the program I could tell Beck was frustrated by not being able to expose yet another charlatan on the airwaves.
Massa was deft at dancing around Beck’s pointed questions.
Incidentally, MM checked in on Beck’s radio program today and essentially said you can’t trust him given his past history.
After what I saw on Beck’s TV show, MM is correct.
From what I read elsewhere prior to this interview, MM thought an hour devoted to Eric Massa was not a great idea. Beck got a bit snippy about it and acted put out by the criticism, but from later reports, they “kissed and made up.” Looks like MM was right.
I’m no fan of Massa’s, but if he WAS ousted by Pelosi and Emanuel because of his pending “no” vote on health care, Beck did the right thing, in the hopes to unearth seedy secrets. However, from what you’re relaying, it was a big fat dud. Too bad. Thanks for the update, AFVET.
