Eric Massa On Glenn Beck: Congressman Going Out SWINGING
Outgoing Rep. Eric Massa (D-NY) is scheduled to appear on Glenn Beck's Fox News show Tuesday night for the full hour.

Beck announced the appearance on Twitter on Monday:

"Tomorrow at five: congressman Massa for the full hour," Beck wrote. "I just spoke with him off air. All Americans need To hear him. Exclusive 2morrow fox."

Since announcing last week that he would step down from his Congressional seat amid sexual harassment allegations, Massa has been vocally lashing out at his critics and the White House.

In a radio interview over the weekend he explained the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him and blasted White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who Massa said, has been trying to force him out of office because of his previous "no" vote on the Democrat-backed health care reform bill.

1. Rahm Emanuel has been trying to force him out of office.
Does Rahm also shoot Force Lightning from his fingers?

Massa said reconciliation will tear the country apart. Only way to stop it is to go on Fox News.
Sounds like he's gone off the rails.

3. So he's going on the Glenn BecKKK show for absolution?
He's got some credibility issues, methinks.

4. Why would his vote be so important on HC? He's in the House, not the senate.
If Rahm had the ability to force votes in Congress, why not beat down a senator rather than a Rep?

becoming a hero to them today on Fox news today and all the right wing blogs. He is blasting Rahm and the dems who are "trying to force HC reform down America's throat and going against what the constituents want"
Sound like solid Rep. talking points to me. Fuck him.

Any Dem who goes on Glen Beck's program is a douchebag of the highest order.

14. Newsflash: Our enemy is entrenched mega-national coporatists - ALL STRIPES.
Both parties have their corporatist legislators. It's not as simple as you think.

Rahm is not OUR FRIEND, i.e., the working and middle classes of the USA.

7. My take: Massa's full of shit and trying to deflect blame to cover his own name.
Massa's not even close to being the most important vote on this. He's not even the most useful person to oust. Why in the world would anyone really believe that it's a conspiracy against him and only him? And if it's really a bullshit charge against him, why would he not stay and fight it? It makes no sense whatsoever.

Clearly, he is moving to Glennbeckistan.

10. Oh joy
I didn't think he'd be on Beck's show to say anything positive. Going out like a complete loser.

12. Was your use of the word "swinging" an intentional double-entendre?
Just wondering.
