Washington – As he had indicated on Friday, Rep. Eric Massa (D-Corning) has resigned from the House of Representatives.

Paperwork for Massa’s resignation was filed Friday with the House to take effect Monday, March 8, at 5 p.m.

The more we hear about Rahm, the more he sounds like a queer. A bitchy little fag with power and the ability to use strong arm tatics to get what he wants. Kind of like a prisonor who uses force to get whatever he want. And I do mean WHATEVER. This government is starting to take on the same traits as Rome.

Because there is more to the story and skeletons he does NOT want out. Blackmail at its finest and he is cutting is losses now.

I thought it was this: gay sex tape

[rintense]

How disturbing is it they removed all shower curtains/doors!?!?!?!

[glock rocks]

This can be explained in three words: Swiss bank account.

or... Massa's FBI dossier. (New and improved!)

As I understand it, that is exactly why he is where he is right now. He is what Obama surrounds himself with.

Massa has been excommunicated by Rahm

Massa does not want tour of Fort Marcy Park...

Well it will eventually come out and then I’m grabbing the popcorn. Theater of the absurd.

all I can say is if a guy came up to me in a shower and so much as TOUCHED me with so much as a fingernail I would knock the shiite out of them until they were not breathing.

That little pussy Rahm would last about three seconds.

Maybe I’m the only FReeper who thinks this way, but I’m glad that Massa resigned. Massa had voted against Obamacare in November, but he did so because the bill wasn’t liberal enough (Massa supports a Canadian-style single-payer system), and not running for reelection he would have been the likeliest Democrat to switch to AYE. I understand that his resignation reduces to 216 the votes that Pelosi needs, but the way things are going someone else would have resigned soon, anyhow.

When Pelosi can’t get to 216 this month and those vacancies start getting filled by special elections, we’ll be glad that we’ll get the chance to elect a Republican in the NY-29.

I have a question. Why did he leave now? Why not wait until the vote. I think I’d be so mad at the WH that I would hang in the until the bill was voted for just to pi## the WH off. But that’s just me...Something is fishy here.

That's a good point, and I'm not sure I buy the "skeletons in the closet" counter argument.

Someone as royally hardballed as he was, no pun intended of course, I would think would probably have nothing to loose at this point. Revenge is a dish best served, period. ;) At least for some.

The only possibly I can see is perhaps there is something illegal they still have over him. Only thing that seems to make sense. Disclaimer: It is rather late for me right now to be online; I may simply be over-politicized. hehe

[hstacey]

Might be right. Like I said we’ll know soon.

[FourtySeven]

Now that’s a good point too. Now I’m really stumped.

[Parley Baer]

The Chicago thugs take one more scalp.

[cydcharisse]

I don’t believe it. So part of the offer didn’t include he keep his big mouth shut?

[John Leland 1789]

I too am puzzled as to just how thry could force this man to resign.

[wastoute]

Proud to be abel to say the Great Commonwealth of Virgina has ALREADY passed the State law that nullifies Obamacare in this state. End of story.

[wastoute]

Krauthammer suggested he quit before the ethics folks could release the stuff. By resinging he keeps it under wraps.

As I understand it, Barry is gay. There are rumors floating around the Internet that Zero frequent gay bars in Chicago. He married Micelle because she was connected to the Daley Machine. And he wanted a political career so he pretended to be straight.

Or many I totally wrong about all of this. Nah, I'm not wrong about any of it. Barry is like a three dollar bill.

Zero is a freak who hates America because America doesn't embrace freaks like him. But he is good at foolin people so now he is POTUS. Enjoy your Hope! and Change! America. Your freak President hates you and wants to destroy you. And he is within eyelash of doing so.

I usually don't write crap like this FR but I have had a few beers tonight and I don't care. I'm writing Truth to Power. /sarc

Frigging naked too Rahm walks up to him and screams at Massa. Just mind-boggling.

I will have to crack open an old Penthouse mag just to get the image of a naked Rahm out of my mind.
