Apparently he is a former Republican who switched parties because of the War in Iraq.

“I wonder why Rahm appeared naked in front of Massa?”

http://backyardconservative.blogspot.com/2010/03/old-capone-tactic.html

UPDATE: NY Times Mag. Rahmbo preview below***Rahmbo in the shower room of the House gym with Massa. (Audio of Massa’s weekend radio rant here where he tells the story). (More here.) Neil Cavuto has a fascinating interview with Gianni Russo, who played Carlo Rizzi in The Godfather. When asked about the shower summit, Russo laughed and said “that’s an old Capone tactic”. You can’t wear a wire or a gun.

Cavuto asks how come Charlie Rangel is still there with all his ethics problems. Is it because Massa is a no vote against health care? Russo says well Massa is not welcome. It’s the Mafia style, they “dug up a bunch of stuff” on Massa. “It’s like watching the Sopranos”.

Cavuto wonders whether with The Godfather being a cult film, some people watch it so many times they realize these tactics work. And why this wedding Massa went to comes up 3 months later. Russo says he thinks if Massa were a yes vote he wouldn’t have a problem. Then he says “Why is Rahm in the shower? Why wasn’t he on the phone?”

The other day I heard O’Reilly admit that the ABC, CBS, and NBC have 20 million nightly news viewers while FNC has merely 5 million on a good night.

That’s what I say. Whay quite if you are being railroaded over nothing but a stupid joke.

Massa’s going on Beck tomorrow. Hopefully we’ll get better insight into what really happened at that time.

fox news, they just said Massa resigned because he knows the ethics report will not be released this way. Or something like that. He did it to save face.

and then this. Massa’s feud with Emanuel dates back to 2006

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/85479-massas-feud-with-emanuel-dates-back-to-2006

But he can still talk. He probably knows a lot to talk about too.

The GOP’s underestimating the continued power of the LSM in 2008 may have cost them the White House.

Funny that he used the “devil’s spawn” term. That’s what Bob Grant used to call Mario Cuomo in Italian on NY talk radio(”Mario, tu sei profiomo sfacim’!”).

You are right. I knew that sadly we had corruption, greed and a usurping of power in America never seen before several months ago. This isn’t right.

We have to remove everyone. I think that this started when the socialist party infiltrated the Democrats. But it has gotten worse. America was blind to the truth and has lost its way which lead to them winning so big.

The fact they were handed such a large power grab was not good. I am glad some people have woken up, but he have a long way to go to rid everyone at fault. The rinos, the socialists, the main stream media, the elites, the hollywood liberals all played a part in getting us to where we are now.

Thank you so much. Our Military deserve better treatment than they get.

And our OLD people too. I know SS is a ponzi scheme, but we old geezers have paid into it, and paid our Medicare premiums. It needs to be changed I know that, but you can’t jerk the rug out from under 70+ year old people who can’t work even if there were jobs for them. I’m only 62 and couldn’t put in 40 hrs a week if I had to, my health just won’t permit it.

good idea...the yahoo site wasn’t that helpful

What about a Freep temporary back up site or was that it?
Of course, the format is so elegant and superb at freep its hard to use another site.

Massa sure was anxious to run his mouth on local radio. He prattled on for 90 minutes, I hear.

If he is that eager to talk, a national TV platform would be the perfect setup for him to spill his guts.
