"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.

Yo, Massa! If you tuck tail and run, you’re letting them win. Didn’t you learn anything at the Naval Academy?

nagdt says Beck is trying to book an interview on his TV show.

Maybe that is why he needs the story to go national.

Much harder for Rahm/Obama to arrange for Massa’s “suicide” if the story goes national.

And the only way that’s going to happen is if this becomes a national story.

That means cnn, the nyt or nbc, abc or cbs have to run the story. FoxNews doesn't count in liberal la-la land.
