Don’t trust Democrat Rep. Eric Massa any further than you can throw him.
He’s been a progressive zealot and political opportunist his entire career. He’s claimed conspiracy before, is intimately bonded with the nutroots, and climbed the political ladder with backing from the odious, anti-war-hoaxer-embracing Gen. Wesley Clark. What Massa dismissively calls his “salty old sailor” talk should raise bright red flags about possible longstanding predatory behavior.
Look, I’m as happy as anyone to see Rahmbo and the Chicago Way slammed so openly by another Democrat. Naked shower fights? Blue-on-blue catfights?
Yep, it confirms everything I’ve been writing about the Obama Culture of Corruption the last two years.
But.
He’s a sick, desperate pol looking to save his hide and distract from his smelly ethics problems and personal problems. This is not a hero, not a bona fide champion of reform and integrity in government. He’s the jerk who gave the figurative middle finger to his own constituents as he proclaimed last year that he would ram single-payer down their throats no matter what they thought..
..So, last year he’s the pol willing to go kamikaze to pass nationalized health care.
And now, tainted by scandal, he’s running to Fox News to cast himself as a warrior against Obamcare and its left-wing overlords?
A radical backer of the Big Labor card check bill, he’s now trashing union corruption.
C-r-a-p-w-e-a-s-e-l.
We don’t need this weapon of Massa distraction to indict the Obama thugs and to expose the Demcare bribe-a-thon. Don’t need him to keep the no-mentum going....

They said on fox new this is all about keeping the ethics probe from going public.
I hope he spills his guts on what he knows since he is dirty anyway.
“Well- when I listened to the youtube at the link of Malkin’s I hear him saying he is strongly in favor of single-payer...”
I did see it and I was part of the vocal group who gave him a strong lashing here at home for that. We have been doing our part to keep Massa in line with what we want, and he did vote NO on the House bill that had the public option. But now all of that is gone.
I’m completely angry that Obama can just squash entire swaths of people who don’t want his Commie health bull, and goes barreling through the state with his machineleaving nothing but scorched earth and destruction behind. It feels like NY is ground zero for the death of America.
My gut instinct is that the guy’s a kook, but maybe a kook with a few bits of useful info to share as well.
We’ll see.
I remember that nasty townhall he held last summer. He was the only congresscritter that I can recall telling his constituents that he would vote on Obamacare the way he saw fit and didn’t care about their opinion.
That was the real, arrogant Massa. The stuff he is saying now sounds like desperate tactics, as Michelle points out.
Massa is standing up more to Obama than Juan McCain has.
He’d have been much more credible had he come forward with this info BEFORE he got slammed by the Ethics Panel.
I’m not a big fan of Malkin’s- she’s ok- but I’ve never even tried to register there!
Massa sounds a lot better than McCain kissing Obama’s arse.
Ditto all the RINO GOP lackeys lining behind McCain - Mitt, Fred (sad), Flake, Palin, Huckelbee, Newt and other RINO scum.
GOOD for you!!! My Rep votes “right” all the time so unless I move- I am lucky to be able to call his office and offer support and thanks. Wish you could, too :(
He was very useful to us and I loved his rant. Who else ever talked like that? Blowing the cover of the Obama thugs and calling out Rahm Emannuelle? Truth baby! Truth shall set you free!
I vote him Congressman of the year!
Too bad he resigned
I don’t agree with Malkin on this one. Shutting down anything he says before he says it makes me wonder about Malkin’s motives here. Sorry.
By her standards prosecutors would never even listen to an informant because they are criminals.
I say we listen to what the guy has to say. We stay very skeptical and only believe evidence based accusations. If Massa can’t provide proof then we should discard what he has to say.
But to go the Malkin route and shut down every and anything he has to say before he says it is a HUGE mistake.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend so I liked what Eric Massa said and he said it very well off the cuff. I never hear such coherency from our idiot teleprompter reader in the White House
PROPS TO ERIC MASSA!
Thanks for that, Starwise! Glad he’s going, going...gone!
Now....to get a conservative in his place. Hard in NY?—yes.
Impossible?....not in the atmosphere that Zerobama has created
in this country!
I can’t help but think the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The stories are just so colorful: so vivid; so ruining (hopefully).
Are you kidding? I wouldn’t MISS listening to him! This is fantastic political theater! I posted Malkin’s piece for perspective- I’m big on knowing all sides - I don’t like nasty suprises.
Just wonder if Rahm, guy with stubby finger, can pass the test if presented with the reality of picking a fight in the shower at a Federal pen or on a Navy ship?
Peruse the headlines here on FR or elsewhere....Obie's in deep sh*t. None of which will bolster confidence in the dem ranks or help with Obiecare. If that fails, he fails, and he's done.
I sense a health crisis coming on and a resignation...sooner than I originally thought. O Happy Day ....
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
MEanwhile- DRUDGE just updated his all-Rahm-all-the-time headline- Chuck Todd will be furious- more Drudge-driven journalism :)
