What to make of the Massa mess?
Naked congressmen, shower stall encounters, “tickle parties,” wraslin’ with the boys back at the condo - the Eric Massa story sounds like low-rent porn. “Brokebudget Mountain” or “Tickle Me, Rahm-Bo.”
Actually, I’m not sure even the porn industry would work with dialogue like this:
LARRY KING: “Are you gay?”
MASSA: “Ask my friends. Ask the 10,000 sailors I served with in the Navy.”
Well, 10,000 sailors can’t be wrong!
For those of us who oppose the Obamacare boondoggle, this is hilarious. But for President Barack Obama and his allies - including Massachusetts Democrats - Massa-mania couldn’t be hitting at a worse time.
The problem isn’t Massa’s ridiculous claim that he was forced out of Congress because he opposes the health care bill. What hurts is that the Massa mess highlights the Obama administration’s desperation and incompetence on health care.
Candidate Obama pledged that health care reform would be bipartisan. “We are not going to pass universal health care with a 50-plus-one strategy,” he promised. A year ago Obamacare seemed inevitable. The GOP was declared DOA. And Eric Massa was an obscure New York congressman.
Today, Obamacare is barely clinging to life, and the administration is so desperate for votes that Rahm Emanuel is chasing reluctant Democrats naked through the curtainless showers of Capitol Hill.
Massa may be a nut for saying the Obots pushed him out, but the reality is just as bad: Obamacare is in so much trouble in the House that purging his “no” vote could actually be the margin of victory. Assuming Nancy Pelosi ever calls for a vote.

Nancy has lied again about what she knew.
Her staff knew in October that there was a Massa problem , but she claims her staff never told her. Just as she claims she was never brifed by CIA about Waterboarding.
Either Nancy is a liar or she is the worst informed Speaker of the House to ever sit in the seat.
I vote Liar.
“Massa may be a nut for saying the Obots pushed him out, but the reality is just as bad: Obamacare is in so much trouble in the House that purging his “no” vote could actually be the margin of victory.”
That is the main point in the article. Pelosi now needs one less “Yes” vote to get the bill directly to 0 for signature.
Should we blame Baltimore or San Francisco for the deceit?
