Massa Ruins Glenn Beck's Day; Admits to Groping "Tickle Fight" with Staffer
Backtracking on accusations of being forced to resign House seat, former Rep. Eric Massa frustrated Glenn Beck in an interview that promised dirt on Dems but delivered none.

March 9, 2010 |


Backtracking on accusations he made last weekend, former Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., told Fox News host Glenn Beck that he resigned his office because he failed to live up to his own code of conduct -- not because he was forced out by the White House for failing to back the president's health-care plan, as he suggested just days ago. Beck, clearly disappointed, told viewers at the end of the hour-long interview, "America...I think I have wasted your time."

For one brief moment, Massa was a hero to right-wingers for his allegations that the bad behavior ascribed to him were just rumors advanced by Democratic leaders to push him out of the Congress. Rush Limbaugh sang his praises, and Glenn Beck gave the entire hour of Tuesday's "Glenn Beck Show" to the freshly former congressman. When allegations of sexual misconduct against Massa gained credibility on Tuesday, Limbaugh dialed back his appreciation of Massa.

Hours later, Massa ruined Glenn Beck's day when his hour of fame before the Fox News audience amounted to no credible evidence against the White House and a heavy dose of crazy from Massa, who compared his physical hijinks with staffers to a "crossing the line" Navy ceremony he had taken part in while in the service, which he described as looking like "an orgy" during the time of "Emperor Caligula." (He showed Beck a book of photographs as he described the ceremony.) The not-quite-one-termer attributed his admitted to bad behavior to his inability to adapt to civilian norms after he left the Navy.

Until his resignation on Monday, Massa was under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for the sexual harassment and groping of male staffers, allegations he denied to Beck -- although he did admit to subjecting a staffer to a "tickle fight" at his 50th birthday party, and to behaving badly while living in a townhouse with "bachelors" on Capitol Hill. ...........(more)

3. This would be the first time that I would have recorded

Glenn Beck's show. Thank God for other stations and the internet for showing the complete embarrassment of Beck. I tuned in on the last half hour because I heard that the show was crashing. I loved it. I loved watching Beck trying to get some dirt. He begged for dirt and he got Nuttin. What a complete idiot. Watching Beck making a complete ASS out of himself was the best. At one point, it looked like he was going to cry.

5. G I G O: Glenn In, Garbage Out ( Plus: Beck gets mentally 'groped' by Massa :)

The old computer saying 'Garbage In, Garbage Out' applies to craziest of the right wing village idiots, Glenn Beck.



Anyone notice the expression on Beck's face when he knew he was outed for building up the Massa story, only to see it go down in flames? Beck isn't worth two cents, but his expression that night was priceless. Beck humiliates himself on his shows daily, but during the Massa interview Beck knew even his dimwitted listeners could figure out they had been had. All of Beck's fanatical theatrics could not save him from being exposed, or more aptly, "mentally groped", by the ex-representative Massa. The representative unzipped Beck's pants and revealed how much of a laughing stock he is.

What makes this interview even more hilarious is that so many conservative leaders touted the interview as being a big expose' that will bring down the democratic party. John Boehner, the republican minority leader of the house, told everyone to watch Beck's interview with Massa thinking it would destroy the democrats. Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of the right wing radio mutant colony also touted the interview trying to entice more people to watch. I wonder how much redder Boehner's face got when Massa made a fool out of Beck. If Boehner's face became any more red he would burst into red hot flames.
