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.
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.
