A naked, wet and angry Rahm Emanuel?
That's the last image Americans need in our minds right now.
But it's been seared onto our brains — just like that weird wrestling scene from the movie "Borat" — thanks to former U.S. Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., who resigned the other day amid allegations he sexually harassed male staffers.
"Let me tell you a story about Rahm Emanuel," Massa said on a recent radio program, talking about taking a shower in the Congressional Gym.
"I'm sitting there 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 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?"
No. But I believe him because I've had a similar argument with Rahm before he was White House chief of staff, right here in the Tribune newsroom, Rahm jabbing his finger near my chest.
It really was just a finger, honest. And happily, Rahm was fully clothed.
Naturally, the White House denies the naked shower episode ever happened, and President Barack Obama's spokesman is basically calling Massa a nutball.
But can't both be true? The naked and the nutball?
...As did Rahm in the Tribune newsroom. He was upset that I kept mentioning how he got elected to Congress — with the help of an illegal City Hall patronage army led by the now imprisoned corrupt city water boss Don Tomczak.
With his back to the newsroom, Rahm wagged that finger at my chest, and in my face, but he kept smiling and speaking politely. Other reporters — watching his back — thought he was really tearing my head off.

Obama knows the power of visual mental imagery to manipulate or persuade . --Sob stories of individuals with medical issues, People wearing doctor coats in the background of a health care speech.
The MSM is painting Massa as crazy, but the image he painted of Whitehouse thug tactics may have left a scar.
Almost as bad as imagining him in his toeshoes. Ugh.
“Naked Rahm now seared in our brains”
What about the forlorn John “Francois” Kerry, sent to Cambodia by Dick Nixon EVEN before he was elected?
WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THAT SEARED MEMORY? HUH?
Naked Rahm? I’ll stick with Kerry, thank you...don’t want him to lose his ranking and end up with a long face.
Well it has been apparent for some time that the emperor has no clothes. So why should we think his chief of staff wouldn’t be naked too?
Who said Rahm was "wet"?
I'm beginning to wonder if Rahm wasn't trying to appeal to Massa sexually in order to get Massa's vote.
Rahm is very plugged in to everyone on Capitol Hill. Those in the know must have at the least suspected Massa swings both ways. That almost certainly must have included Rahm. Massa all but confirmed it himself with his "non-denial" denial on Larry King.
Does Rahm also swing both ways? Why else would any straight man go naked into a shower stall with a naked homosexual/bisexual man?
DC’s “Eastern Promises”
Tremendous fight scene in the shower in that flick.
All together now...ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Rahm illustrates the definition of Kapo. Look it up.
So....is he really Jewish, or not? For some reason the whole vision of Rahm doing this reminds me of dogs and their power plays, or is it baboons?
Uh, it’s Chicago chic.
I have always suspected that most Democrat politicians will 'pork' anything that moves.
“taking a shower in the Congressional Gym”;
AKA the gay bathhouse.
So it’s baboons then?
