In fairn...Ok. I'll play Devil's Advocate.<br /><br />In fairness to Massa, I listened to his radio show he gave on Sunday vs what he said on Beck's show and he's been consistent in his story. He owned up to what, I guess, he felt everything was about. And then went on a rant about his hatred for Rahm and how they wanted him out.<br /><br />Although, he did lie about being a centrist and a "fiscal conservative". That's just nonsense.DarkGravityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553405429405311925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-39583127263272627352010-03-10T13:15:03.663-05:002010-03-10T13:15:03.663-05:00bluecove, Beck did everyone a favor by allowing Ma...bluecove, Beck did everyone a favor by allowing Massa to expose himself for what he is.

IMO, he did look a little foolish. He'll shrug it off, but applying a little of that famous skepticism would have served him much better.<br /><br />retire05:<br /><br />You have a point; however, I suspect the local ethics investigation will continue, in the media if nowhere else. Some nasty stuff is going to come out, and the self-serving Democrats knew it. If Massa had shut up and gone away, none of this would have happened. Instead, he gave a local interview full of fire and brimstone, and it got picked up by national media. The Democrats didn't destroy him, he destroyed himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-51118226342981937252010-03-09T23:23:28.998-05:002010-03-09T23:23:28.998-05:00Beck had said yesterday that he had talked to Mass...Beck had said yesterday that he had talked to Massa for 1/2 hour earlier in the day. I think Beck was promised more red meat than Massa decided he was willing to give.<br /><br />Odd that a Washington Post article came out just two hours prior to the Beck interview claiming more accusations against Massa (like he "groped" a male staffer). I read the article prior to the interview and said "uh oh" and knew then Massa was going to renig on any deal he made with Beck previously. Checked the first date stamp in the comments section of the WP article and it is 2:59 13 PM today.<br /><br />So I ask all of you; if Massa had already resigned, what reason would there be to leak "additional claims" to the WP today since there will now be no ethics investigation? And who leaked the information?<br /><br />Seems to me that someone in D.C. was sending a shot across Massa's bow that if he says anymore than he already has, it will be scorch and burn personal destruction for him.retire05https://www.blogger.com/profile/04192090871824415437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-82291839963719506152010-03-09T22:38:46.807-05:002010-03-09T22:38:46.807-05:00If you escape a feeding frenzy with being beat up,...If you escape a feeding frenzy with being beat up, you're not doing too badly.Dan Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18003419431016626023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-42009409461161277142010-03-09T21:05:02.628-05:002010-03-09T21:05:02.628-05:00I don't know... massively disappointing in man...I don't know... massively disappointing in many respects, but the "Tickle Fight for my 50th birthday party" effectively shut the door on Massa forever, so at least that good came from it.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18187977575683088977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-6132861119248027242010-03-09T20:37:33.326-05:002010-03-09T20:37:33.326-05:00bluecove: "This is exactly what I was afraid ...bluecove: "This is exactly what I was afraid would happen."<br /><br />What, that Massa would make a fool of himself?

Am I surprised? Not one bit. The news that he's being investigated for something a lot more serious than "salty language" was also no surprise for those of us who live(d) in his district.<br /><br />I feel bad for Glenn, because he went out on a limb against good advice, and it snapped. He'll be okay in the end, but his brand has been damaged in the short run.
