The Congressional intimidation is the main story, and former congressman Eric Massa’s vacillation on why exactly he’s resigning. But, I can’t seem to get past the curtain-less showers in the Congressional gym locker room. Am I the only one?
Of course the MSM (as will be evidenced by the AP story to follow) is running with a falsehood claiming that Conservatives are embracing this lunatic. WRONG.
“New York congressman Eric Massa resigned his House seat this week under a sexual harassment cloud, claiming fellow Democrats forced his ouster to keep him from voting against their health care bill.
It’s the latest claim in a changing stream of explanations that have propelled him from a relatively obscure Democratic lawmaker to darling of conservative talk show hosts.” (source)
I specifically listed to the top dogs yesterday to ensure that they didn’t and Sean, Rush and Glenn all were of the same mind…the guy’s a bit of a kook. Of course they wanted to talk to him –he’s been scorned and cast aside by his party so he may be ripe with the need for revenge…and some juicy tidbits could be gleaned. That hardly makes him a Conservative darling. It makes him a willing patsy.
But back to the showers, seriously. Why in the world would the curtains have been removed?
“I was a congressman in my first eight weeks and I was in the congressional gym. And I went down and I worked out. I went into the showers, which, by the way, I for the life of me can’t figure out why they took all the shower curtains off the shower stalls in the congressional shower.
I mean the last thing I want to look is my fellow colleagues naked. But they don’t have any shower curtains down in the gym. And I’m sitting there showering, naked as a jay bird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger at my chest, yelling at me because I wasn’t going to vote for the president’s budget.
Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man? By the way, what the heck is he doing in the congressional gym? He goes there to intimidate members of Congress…” (source)
And was it a deliberate move that Fox had a Democrat named Dick (Harpootlian) there to comment on nude Rahm…?
