March 9, 2010 | no dems

Glenn was greatly frustrated because he could not get specifics from Massa that "affects you". Glenn apologized to his audience for "wasting your time".

I wrote in the other thread that the interview should have been over right after he backtracked on his original statement of having been pushed out over healthcare. It was obvious at that point he wasn’t going to spill any beans. No..he wasn’t pushed out..he takes full responsibility. Riiigghht.

Glenn should have done what Bill O’ and Greta do: He should have taped the interview and not done it live. He then could have thrown it into the garbage.

At 15 minutes Beck should have started asking for names. Then at the half hour, when it became obvious that it was going no place, Beck should have cut it off. He said he had guests lined up and should have gone to them at that point. That it went on for 60 minutes was a crime on Glenn's part.

I think Massa is the prime example of a politician, and what is wrong in Washington. Weasel...but sure hit several Democrat talking points!!! Helping as much as he can!

I couldn’t watch it all. This is right up there with the Danny Bonaduce interview.

"Massa seemed to be about as slimy as they come."

Well he is a Democrat isn't he? These days it kind of goes with the territory, it wasn't always so.

Looks like Michelle Malkin and others were right afterall. It seems like they had some inside scoop that the poking the finger in the shower story is all Massa had. And we didn’t need an hours of him to learn that.

Glenn was right he wasted our time. Massa knelt down with the ball for all 4 quarters of the hour. He did prove to be quite the slime ball though in doing it.

Yeah..he said he wasn’t intimidated by anybody. But he sure was intimidated enough by the investigation to up and quit. That is not exactly standing up to the bullies.

In a word, it sucked.

Somebody got to Massa, his lawyer.

I think Beck did just the right thing. He let this guy stand in the spotlight and have his say. And most of us have now lamped him out as a ‘reality-challenged’ jerk. To give a guy a non-hostile opportunity to shine or fall is just the right way. Don’t get me wrong: I don’t think Beck is incapable of error or even tediousness; but Massa had his shot, and we all formed our opinions.

Glenn questions were in generalities. I expected him to ask specific questions.

Massa was all over the map because he didn't get a specific question about OBAMA, Rahm or who approached him - what they said, etc.

The guy is not experienced with interviews. He just didn't know what was expected from him. He could not go through an entire litany of things that happened for so many months. I know I couldn't.

That’s ridiculous.

Beck pressed the guy, challenged his integrity and honesty, asked him repeatedly to back up his whines with facts, finally dismissed him by saying he’d wasted the audience’s time.

I found the interview interesting. It gave me the opportunity to judge Massa for myself.

Beck was demanding and almost rude to the guy. I can’t see how you can call that “selling out.”

I think Drudge already milked Massa for everything he was worth.

I agree that Glenn did not ask good enough questions..Not specific enough. Maybe he thought that Massa would just start spilling his guts and that he didn’t have to get a lot of direct questions prepared.
