“Eric Massa is a brilliant, audacious snake.”

He ain’t fooling FReepers, and I doubt he is fooling any talk show guys either. He is a useful idiot, and WE will play him, not the other way around ;-)

This author is an idiot.

Plus, every single reason Massa gave for resigning is probably true to one degree or the other.

Yes, we really do believe Rahm Emanual wanders around the locker room "nekkid".

Doesn't take Massa to tell us that.

He probably does pelvic thrusts to make his points too.

You really can't tell a story about Rahm that's too gross to believe ~ the man is a bully who will use any and all techniques to get his way, and it appears to be hereditary. His brother advocates killing babies who misbehave!

Exactly. I like the guy only for his willingness and potential to screw the dems. Wish he hadn't resigned but I hope he keeps talking.

Two dynamics are at work here. Massa is both protecting himself with this tactic, and he is engaging in “catch back” against Emmanuel and Pelosi, who he believes threw him under the bus.

The second dynamic is the reaction of Rush, Beck, et al. They are not praising the guy. They are using him to unilaterally disarm Emmanuel and the “Chicago way”. Any vote switchers now will be scrutinized to see whether they had some skeleton in their closet and Emmanuel will not be free to practice this disgusting form of politics without fear that he will be exposed for doing so.

These revelations about Rahm look like they could be a brilliant move by Massa. But their use by the conservative punditry is most definitely a brilliant strategic move against Obamacare.

Bravo!

The author is an idiot. WE, however, are not.

The guy has been in congress less than one term. Where is the evidence that he is actually a “progressive” wearing conservative clothing now versus your typical garden variety common political whore who will simply change spots to further their career?

I met Bob Lonsberry in Utah when I went to see Glenn Beck for a book signing. They were obviously good friends. The audience waiting for Glenn was thrilled to meet Bob and his handsome son in person.

He actually seemed like a very decent man. I started listening to his radio show in Salt Lake after that and it confirmed it. He’s common sense conservative in views, and very very likable.

Keep that in mind as you jump to conclusions about “the author” being an idiot.

Beck may fall for it.

You said everything I was going to say. It’s about time that conservatives play the media game well.
