BecKKK doing MASSA for the hour. 5mins counting. "I'm not a congressman anymore."

[UTUSN]

"I wasn't forced out. I forced myself out. I own this."

BecKKK: "The new allegations came out 90 minutes ago."

MASSA: (It's the wedding reception.) Now they're saying I groped a male staffer. I did it. I tickled him (until he couldn't take it?). It's TRUE.

[upi402]

1. Putting on my helmet now

Face shield handy

[SemiCharmedQuark]

2. This whole thing is so bizarre.

[malaise]

6. A former RETHUG

returns home. :puke:

[UTUSN]

11. Deleted. out of post order. n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

12. I would say his troubles began when he acted inappropriately.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. I'm just hoping Massa doesn't do a.....

Christine Chubbuck or a Budd Dwyer by the time all this is over. The man is cracking up.

[dmr]

16. Yes, something's not quite right with him.

His rationalizing is troubling.

[Andy823]

21. If he is going to crack up

The best place he would go completely nuts is on Beck's show! Maybe he will have a melt down and punch out Beck! :evilgrin:

[BurtWorm]

4. Yesterday, he tousled his hair.

Is his hair ticklish?

[UTUSN]

5. "do you believe in gawd?"

MASSA: Yes I believe in gawd.

BecKKK: I've met your sweet wife.

MASSA: I groped a male staffer. That's why I resigned. I violated a code of ethics I wrote for my staff and me. I broke it. My behavior was wrong. I should have never allowed myself to become so familiar. (Navy Navy Navy)

(He shows a crossing-the-Equator ceremony, play games on a Navy ship.)

[UTUSN]

7. "I never groped anyone sexually" is the crawl on Faux

MASSA: I did nothing sexual, nothing criminal.

BecKKK: Whisper campaigns...

MASSA: At this point, people will be told to say ANYTHING about me. Let's be blunt... Friends think I'm Beelzebub for coming on this show. I don't view you as my enemy. They actually said I was the most Centrist member of Congress...voted against cap and trade.

[UTUSN]

9. "Why are you.... You don't want to stand and fight. Why are you here?"

MASSA: I want the toughest interviewer possible.

BecKKK: That would be (O'loofah). Tell the Rahm story.

MASSA: So everyone says I'm changing my story. I was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

(Plaing the GIBBS video.)

[bluestateguy]

8. Good Lord

A DU thread with people hanging on every word of...Glenn Beck?!!!

No Thanks.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. We're actually hanging on the words of Massa. Unfortunately, this is the forum he chose.

[Drunken Irishman]

23. Don't Republicans generally pick Beck to spew their lies?

So this shouldn't be a surprise, eh?

[Ozymanithrax]

13. Beck Doing Massa - That is not an image I welcome.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Fuck Beck & fuck Massa.

Both slime. Both useless. Both irrelevant in my mind.

[saracat]

18. Massa was a very good congressperson and he is dying.Shame on you. Thelack of humanity

pervading the Democrartic Party is sickening.

[blogslut]

35. So, sexually harassing one's underlings is to be excused

...because the man has cancer? Really? This is the road you want to take?

[Cali_Democrat]

36. The guy is a crackpot

Just like John Edwards :hi:

[DevonRex]

37. LOL!

That's gonna leave a mark. :hi:

[KittyWampus]

45. Thank God for YOU Saracat, you're a beacon of purity and light within the Democratic Party and DU!

[Cali_Democrat]

48. Apparently Massa was a rethug until 2004 according to this post.

[UTUSN]

15. "I had a heck of a cancer scare in December. My wife, doctors had been after me

to stay out of Congress, a 120 hrs a week work schedule. The Ethics Committee has never interviewed me...

BecKKK: Let's go to the beginning... Your troubles began with the White House. After the break.

[Drunken Irishman]

17. LOL. His troubles began when he fucking groped a staffer. Jesus Christ on a cracker.

[UTUSN]

19. "MASSA's departure a silver lining for PELOSI. You said you left b/c of the cancer"

MASSA: When I heard people say, 'We're going to pass this health care bill NO MATTER what.' It was (light bulb going on). I don't have half a million dollars to defend.... I want to do this interview and ONE more... And then I'm GONE. I'm DONE.

BecKKK: You said everything has been taken from you. So what do you a have to lose.

[UTUSN]

24. "Do you love your country? You SERVED your country!1"

MASSA: Twenty four years in uniform. I've had union members come to me and say they would not support my campaign if I didn't vote for health care. That's bribery.

BecKKK: No it's not, it's lobbying.

MASSA: The whole schazole!1 It's all (corrupt). Not just the unions, it's the Chamber of Commerce... Somebody else, 'You voted with the (Rethugs)!1' So this guy is saying I have to vote the way he thinks because he gave me $625.

[Drunken Irishman]

26. This guy is a total buffoon.

Wow. He and Beck make the perfect couple. :eyes:

[UTUSN]

30. BecKKK: "White House says Naked-Rahm never happened."

MASSA: It happened.

BecKKK: Were there any witnesses?

MASSA: I don't know. I wasn't looking around.

[KansDem]

20. "The new allegations came out 90 minutes ago."

Sounds like Glenn is trying to distance himself from his guest.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Beck is mental.

I hope this blows up in his face. Both are losers.

[msanthrope]

25. Well, he thought he booked Howard Beale. Not Mark Foley. n/t

[cui bono]

50. Perfectly said. +1 eom.

[UTUSN]

27. MASSA: "I can't fight anymore. I have completely abandoned my family for 5 yrs."

BecKKK: When we come back, make it count, tell America what we don't know, name names. What we NEED to know.

(So far it's been a totally RAMBLING, nearly incoherent load.)

[BurtWorm]

28. Name Rahm, in other words. Justify my booking you on this piece of shit show of mine.

[tishaLA]

29. and he seems to be telling 4 different stories simultaneously

[UTUSN]

31. "Hello, America. This is an interview NOBODY wanted to happen."

BecKKK: There are four criminal charges Rahm could be brought up on.


MASSA: So the most important thing is for people to get involved.

BecKKK: No no no. You were inside...

MASSA: Campaign finance reform is the number one issue...

BecKKK: You believe nobody in Washington understands our financial situation... The building is coming down. You're telling me to get better 911 service...

[UTUSN]

33. MASSA: Months ago, my supporters were telling me NOT to support the HCR. Now

they're telling me TO support it.

BecKKK: Is there anything new about your charges. I haven't heard anything.

MASSA: I don't know what you want me to say...


BecKKK: There are chargeable things about Rahm EMMANUEL. Let's start there...

MASSA: We can talk about cap and trade...

[BurtWorm]

34. Especially after we found out the groping allegations were probably true.

[tishaLA]

32. Oh Christ. Beck wants Massa to rat out the unions

to his credit, Massa isn't playing the game.

[UTUSN]

38. BecKKK: "45 minutes & nothing in this interesting hour. Anything SPECIFIC?!1"

MASSA: You want something specific? You tell your voters to forget about political parties. And here's another specific: Stop calling Americans names----socialists, communists... I respect the Tea(bagger) movement, which I respect... But you can't claim the deficit happened this year...

[UTUSN]

39. BecKKK is not getting ANYTHING. MASSA is basically rambling and near incoherent n/t

[BurtWorm]

40. He's getting ratings.

But thanks to this thread he didn't get any of it from me.

:patriot:

[blogslut]

41. Uh oh

Anybody want to take bets on how long till Beck cuts Massa's mike?

[UTUSN]

42. BecKKK: "You say it's not true you were forced out, is there another shoe to drop?"

MASSA: People at this point will say anything. I've got serious medical concerns. I'm sure there're text messages.

BecKKK: You say the naked-Rahm thing never happened.

MASSA: It happened. He told me I'd BETTER vote with the prez. In hyperbole I went over the top.

BecKKK: You people, I think I've wasted your time. You've been backtracking. Now you're apologizing to Rahm EMMANUEL.

MASSA: Rahm is good at making enemies. You can't compromise when someone's coming at you with a finger at your chest.

[UTUSN]

43. It's over. Last break. BecKKK got NOTHING. "wasted (viewers') time."

[blogslut]

46. Awesome

Poor Chalky. He soooo wanted to be Woodstein for the wingnuts. I bet he cries tomorrow night.

[Supersedeas]

47. little Goebblers Beckeester must be disappointed in himself

[UTUSN]

44. "We learned a lot, but it doesn't affect YOU (the viewers) AT ALL!1" n/t

[Qutzupalotl]

49. Thanks for doing this, UTUSN.

[cui bono]

51. Catch Lawrence O'Donnell's recap on Countdown. Very entertaining. eom
