"Captain's duties can wait, Kip - Rahm Emmanuel will be here anytime to berate me in the tub over my no vote..."

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.”

"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.
“Did Scraps ever rub up and down on your leg?”
Typical. No open courts of opinion, “privacy” and bullying/threatening behind closed doors.
Bipartisanship at work, kill dissent within your own party
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.
man...that new Spartacus is thye silliest gayfest I’ve ever witnessed on cable TV
yuck
IMDB loves it though...if they ever come up for air over there from their on homo-orgy
Expect very minimal national press coverage to this story and no Daily News, colbert, or SNL mentions on this.
Ev’ry Donk must think,
Will they come after me next?
Time to slay the beast.
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.
Rush is all over it. Huffpo just picked up the story.
My bet: The same crowd that wants to do away with Don't Ask Don't Tell in the military.
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.
Grab, twist, and turn! Reminds me of my favorite stories EVER!

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 ..
