Now, secularh, where’s your tolerance for opposing views?

They should have been more careful: Massa is a Naval Academy grad, and served 24 years in the Navy; in other words, people are more likely to find him credible than not, in the absence of anything more damning than this PATHETIC smear of “sexual harrassment” by an aide who was drunk and inappropriate himself at the wedding reception, notwithstanding Massa’s mea culpa on his own inappropriate comments.

This charge of “sexual harrassment” in other words is laughable on its face, and it pisses me off that it even is raised, because it TRIVIALIZES the very real sexual harrassment faced by women all the time–you know, the REAL stuff like “either you blow me, or you’re fired.”

In my opinion, this “aide” is a shill and I have utter contempt for HIM.

If by this you mean without a Public Option or Single Payer I’d agree. If you mean NO HCR you’ve been listening to repugnantklan talking points to long.

“I don’t no whats going on with Congressman Massa, but I do believe some of the things he is saying is true.”

Anyone stupid enough to think a sitting Congressperson would RESIGN because someone, part of some HUGE nefarius conspiracy is just fu*ked in their head and should go back their regular programing of Glenn Blech and Limpwithnoballs.

“How do you argue with a naked man?”

Oh, let me count the ways….

I don’t care for the whole Rahm mysticism, but I’ve got to tell you that when Massa, who I’m really wondering about at this point, told that story, saying How do you argue with a naked man, or whatever the quote is, I laughed so hard I cackled.

The idea that it was Rahm who thought that congress was going to be all sweetness and light with Obama is absurd.

Absurd.

These people need to step away from the Kool-Aid and stop with their “poor Barack” crap.

Adam Green, a founder of Progressive Change, told me that Emanuel’s reputation for being strong was overblown and that the chief of staff actually had “a loser mentality” because he refused to fight more vigorously — even for progressive ideas that had popular support. “Rahm Emanuel is very, very risk-averse and afraid of a fight,” Green says. “We see him, and many people see him, as a destructive influence inside the White House, urging President Obama to cave instead of fighting for real change.” The activists are expressing frustrations that are also felt by Congressional Democrats, even if they will not say so out loud.

This fits with Froomkin’s view of Rahm and it is the one that rings most true for me. For all his reputation of being such a ball buster it’s seems like he is afraid of taking a stand on principle,I know you have to have principles first

Sounds like Nancy Pelosi was miles ahead of Obama and Rahm and we would be better off if he listened to her more.She knew all that bi-partisan effort over the summer was a complete waste of time.

According to Baker Obama is zen like…oh jeez!

True dat!

It’s about frickin’ time someone else started writing this stuff.

Edit

‘Nemo Me Impune Lacessit’ Latin for ‘None shall provoke/injure me with impunity’.

Corn better be careful. He may well find himself Craig Crawford’d at MSNBC!

However, in the clip I added Massa starts in on reconciliation picking up Sean Hannity talking points.

It’s got a definite feel of political death spiral.

A Massa aide has told POLITICO that the New York Democrat has been engaged in inappropriate behavior “for eight months.”
