Massa: "Rahm Would Strap His Children to a Locamotive for a Vote" (confronted him in the shower)
NBC Chicago ^ | March 08, 2010 | ANDREW GREINER

Rahm Emanuel has been accused of a lot of things during his political career, but today one outgoing congressman may have topped all insults.

“Rahm Emanuel is son of the devil’s spawn,” disgraced Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY ) said during a radio show, -- the radio diatribe is posted on Real Clear Politics.com. “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.”

(snip)

"Let me tell you a story about Rahm Emanuel," Massa said on the program. "I was a congressman in my first eight weeks; I was in the congressional gym, I went down and I worked out and I went into the showers ... I'm sitting there showering, naked as a jaybird and here comes Rahm Emanuel not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, and he starts poking a 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?"

“When I voted against the cap and trade bill, the phone rang and it was the chief of staff to the president of the United States of America, Rahm Emanuel, and he started swearing at me in terms and words that I hadn’t heard since that crossing the line ceremony on the USS New Jersey in 1983,” Massa said. “And I gave it right back to him, in terms and words that I know are physically impossible.”

Editor’s note: In another section of the interview Massa hints that he may rescind his resignation: “I’m not going to be a Congressman as of 5 o’clock [Monday] afternoon. The only way to stop that is for me to rescind my resignation. That’s the only way to stop it. And the only way that’s going to happen is if this becomes a national story.” See the Roll Call link below for more.

Typical. No open courts of opinion, “privacy” and bullying/threatening behind closed doors.

Massa — that’s a Sicilian name, right?

If this story gets legs, this might be a jump-the-shark moment for BO, or at least Rahm...

It's direct, to the point, titillating enough to spark people's interest, and really puts Rahm in a bad light. Depends on how sympathetic a "victim" this Massa guy is, and if Massa can get more play out of being a victim, or accepting some sort of political payoff.

Expect very minimal national press coverage to this story and no Daily News, colbert, or SNL mentions on this.

Incredible stuff... this needs to go viral FAST. I hope and pray other Rahmbo-targeted Congress critters speak up...

I was at an information meeting for Americans for Prosperity yesterday and heard that Massa would run on the ballot for the special election.

Course, prior to this, we hadn’t heard anything else. This guy should rescind his resignation and VOTE. I pray he stays alive to do so.

The audio is fantastic. He makes no bones about he is being got of rid of because Rahm hates him and he is the deciding vote against Obamacare.

The press must be dropping dead. It’s just such a juicy sound byte, yet publishing it will damage the Dems.

"Who took down the shower curtains in the men’s congressional gym locker room?"

My bet: The same crowd that wants to do away with Don't Ask Don't Tell in the military.

The correct answer would have been a smack in the mouth and/or a kick in the crotch...real quick like. Guarenteed that would have shut him up and you would never have had any more problems with him.

Too right. If some maniac charges up to me in a public shower and pokes his finger into my chest, he's gonna be bounced off the tile several times before his trip to the emergency room - WHCOS or not.

This is doing nothing to change my opinion that the Donk side of the aisle closely resembles the Star Wars bar scene. Freakshow.

Massa also made the point that Emanuel had no business being in the Congressional gym in the first place.
Imagine what else has occurred behind the scenes with this bunch that we don’t know about ..
