Did President Barack Hussein Obama’s White House Chief Of Staff Chew Democratic Congressman “ObamaCare Maverick” Out In The Nude?

Obviously, everybody knows by now the [ahem... POSSIBLY] disgraced Representative from New York State by the name of Massa has been squealing like a stuck pig (as we put it down here in Lower Alabama — courtesy of The Washington Post) as he’s recently made his otherwise graceful departure from Congress amidst accusations he routinely gropes and lewdly addresses his male staffers. Oh well, nothing new here. In fact, the only thing even somewhat “new under the sun” about this whole fiasco is the fact this guy has a “D” behind his name unlike those more plentiful “R’s” we’ve become accustomed to over recent years when it comes to the subject of “closeted gay but married guys in power”.

The zaniest of the allegations, yet, perhaps the most BELIEVABLE of them all is this quote made today by Mr. Massa regarding President Obama’s Chief Of Staff’s bullying tactics he [psst... allegedly] employed in an attempt to frighten the former Congressman into casting a “Yea” vote on ObamaCare:

… Mr Massa said: “I am showering, naked as a jailbird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped round his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me because I wasn’t going to vote for the president’s budget. Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?” — The Washington Examiner (bold, mine)

Okay, FIRST OFF — I’m not a gay man — “closeted” or otherwise, not that there’s anything wrong with that, so take my initial response to the bolded part of his statement for what it’s worth and consider the source. That stated, if a man came up to me and started yelling at me, nude, dressed to the “T’s” or otherwise, I’m going to knock his block off in self defense. That’s just ME though — don’t try this at home. Point being — even though I’m sure such an (“alleged“) situation could occur, I’m doubtful I’d find it to be as awkward as I would to be offensive, rude and verging upon physical assault, if not meeting those descriptions to a “T”. If it was “awkward” for Mr. Massa, perhaps it was because he found Mr. Emanuel to be attractive or something?

Just sayin’…

Other interesting opinions from great bloggers — both sides of the aisle: The Drudge Retort (“Left”) has a lively discussion going on; My good friend Joe Gandelman of The Moderate Voice (“Centrist”) offers “four certainties” over the Massa debacle; Michelle Malkin (“Right”) reminds us of the time Eric Massa foreshadowed all of this by defending former New Jersey, former “closeted gay married” governor Eliot Spitzer (hmmm…); Hot Air’s mysterious AllahPundit (“Right”) was hoping FNC’s Glenn Beck would help set the record straight by taking Mr. Massa to task (oops — Fox News‘ Beck apologized to his viewers after blowing it badly); Alan Colmes of Liberaland seems to be keeping an updated live-blog going on the topic…

Palin: Socialized Medicine Leads To Death Panels But It Worked So Well For My Family And I, We Used To Take Advantage Of It Over America’s Privatized System…

Ironic? Hypocritical? The former governor of Alaska, a.k.a., “The Barracuda” freely admitted that utilizing our neighbor to the North’s “commie medicine” worked just fine for her as a young Alaskan child as she addressed a rather friendly Calgary, Alberta audience (Calgary Herald).

A “Snip” from the Herald article — from the mouth of “The Barracuda’s” herself…

… we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn’t that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada.“

“Ironic”, Ms. Palin calls it. I suppose you could call it “ironic”, however; I also find it quite interesting she didn’t mention those “Obama Nazi Death Panels” she’s so frightened of either, particularly considering the fact she appeared to be PRAISING the Canadian system of death panel socialized medicine to her (shocker) Canadian audience. Will the REAL “Sarah Palin” step up, please? Better yet, just keep on opening that mouth of yours and inserting that foot of yours in your mouth, Mrs. Governor… it’s great for America, if for no other reason than entertainment purposes. And equally great for America is the fact you keep on removing yourself further and further from electability for any upcoming elections, including 2010, 2012 and/or beyond…

Other bloggers weigh in on the latest “Barracuda scandal”: Hot Air’s AllahPundit and Conservatives 4 Palin’s Tommy Report — both “Right” (of course) attempt to set the record straight by claiming Canada didn’t offer federalized medicine until 1972 — long after the Heaths left Skagway and long before there was any socialized medicine in Canada; No More Mister Nice Blog’s Steve M. (“Left”) also sets the record straight — Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, was part of a “test” and in fact DID offer socialized hospital care for “The Barracuda’s” young brother INDEED — beginning on the 1st of July, 1961; Eric Martin of Obsidian Wings (“Left”) calls “The Barracuda’s” admission his “Quote Of The Day“; The Mudflats (“Left”) points out the fact that since hubby “First Dood”, Todd Palin, is an Eskimo, he and Sarah have enjoyed the benefits of socialized medicine all Alaska Natives and their families are entitled to for years, regardless of any of the arguments coming from the “Right”…

Iranian President Actually Believes [ahem... FORMER] President Bush Was Smart Enough To Engineer World Trade Center Attacks On September 11th…

Now that he’s gone officially on the record (Reuters) to state the Cheney-Bush Administration’s Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) was justified by his claim President George W. Bush was so intelligent, so brilliant, so devious, he was able to pull off a 9/11 “hoax”, the next obvious question is “What should we expect next from this guy?” President Barack Hussein Obama isn’t really a “natural born Citizen” of the U.S.A. but was actually born in the tiny little island nation called “Hawaii” just miles off the coast of California, thereby justifying his removal from the Oval Office? al-Qaeda and Osama (“Usama”, or whatever his name is) Bin Ladin prefer to support the Republicans in office over the Democrats? Who knows when it comes to this KOOK?

Lessee… a little “snippet” from the referenced Reuters pull…

… Ahmadinejad described the destruction of the twin towers in New York on September 11, 2001 as a “complicated intelligence scenario and act,” IRNA reported.

He added: “The September 11 incident was a big fabrication as a pretext for the campaign against terrorism and a prelude for staging an invasion against Afghanistan.” He did not elaborate. …– Reuters

Hmmm… “complicated intelligence scenario“? REALLY? Is President Ahmadinejad talking about the same “complicated” FAULTY intelligence system the G.O.P., despite the whistleblower actions of Joe Wilson (remember that guy and his covert CIA Cheney-Bush-Rove wife, Valerie Plame and what happened to them?), STILL claims to have been the catalyst of our military’s simultaneous invasions of both Iraq and Afghanistan here? Or are we talking about the typical “nutroots” wacko like the outspoken Michael Moore “Truther” type (Google search for your convenience)? Sometimes, it’s just too damned hard to tell, isn’t it?

So, does this make President Ahmadinejad “Right”? Does it make him “Left”? Sometimes, I’ve found “Right” and “Left” to be a bit circular, meaning somebody can be so far “Right” (Ahmadinejad for example), he meets himself back on the “Left” occasionally. More simply put — this guy’s a far-right, religious zealot wacko just like so many of his counterparts right here in the Good Ole’ U.S. of A. and there isn’t a dime’s bit of difference between him and the likes of Pat Robertson, Dr. James Dobson, the late Jerry Fallwell or the rest of them when it comes to ideology in general when you take this single issue out of the equation. But then again, that’s just MOI…

Republicans Are Optimistic About Chances Of Taking Congress In Mid-Term Elections But Democrats Are Destroying Them In The Fund Raising Department…

Whether you see the minority Grand Old Party as the Party Of “NO!”, the “New Hip-Hop GOP” (well, that’s what RNC Chair Michael Steele prefers to call it anyway), or just a very skinny elephant these days, one thing remains clear: they’re B-R-O-K-E according to The Politico. It’s one thing to be optimistic about a conservative rebellion at the mid-term ballot boxes but quite another to be able to foot the bill necessary to do so successfully…

… while wind at one’s back is a good thing, cash in the bank would be better, and on that score Republicans are lagging behind. Their candidates have raised less than half the $84 million that experts estimate it will take to seriously threaten the Democratic majority in the House. The situation at the National Republican Congressional Committee is even bleaker.

In 2008, the committee spent more than $34 million on advertising and other assistance to candidates, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Today, the NRCC has a grand total of $4 million in the bank — and that is after one of its best fundraising months. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, by contrast, has about $18 million.

Overall, the Democratic Party committees combined have outraised their Republican counterparts significantly, bringing in $442,885,585 since last January, compared with $255,000,681 for the respective GOP committees. The Democrats’ $51 million in cash is also significantly larger than the Republicans’ $34 million. …

So, what’s the deal here? Are conservatives spending way, too much of their hard earned cash funding the wacky Tea Party movement instead of sending those bucks to the Republican National Committee who needs them desparately these days? Whatever the problem, it’s becoming more and more obvious the polls are correct when they show Capitol Hill Republicans are less popular than poisonous snakes, scorpions, black widow spiders, tsunamis, earthquakes and, of course, heart attacks and cancer…

Somebody… ANYBODY… Is there a doctor in The House (pun intended)?

WND: May Day: a Cry to God for Our Nation in Distress Event To Take Place On (Of Course) “May Day”, 2010…

Here we go again — leave it to our lovable, goofy buddies over at WorldNetDaily© and Dr. James Dobson to come up with an “America Is Cursed By God” rally on Capitol Hill. Of course, all far-right-wing religious zealots who believe our loving God loves us so much, he’s placed a curse upon our great nation and the only chance for survival is to burn up fossil fuels, head off across the country to Washington, D.C. and beg for repentence in unison for hours and hours are welcome to attend. Simply click on the last link, scroll to the bottom and you’ll find all of the necessary contact and enrollment information you’ll need in order to take part in the event.

From The WND article:

… The group will repent for how the nation has turned from God in every area of influence: 1) business 2) government, 3) media, 4) arts and entertainment, 5) education, 6) the family and 7) religion and invite God back into each area of Americans’ lives. … — MayDay2010.Org

So, my fellow sinners — all we have to do to get back on God’s “good side” as a nation is to repent and beg Him to run our businesses, our government, our media outlets, what we call “the arts”, our entertainment industries, our schools, our families, our households and our churches and everything should be “A-Okay”…

Some of the “key” guests “prayers” and organizers who’ll be in attendance for your convenience and just in case you’d like to drop them a line to thank them for ditching the jobs they’re being paid to do for this “great cause”:

Congressman Randy Forbes (Republican-VA)…

Congressman Trent Franks (Republican-AZ)…

Congressman Louie Gohmert (Republican-TX)…

Congressman Steve King (Republican-IA)…

So, what are we waiting for, my friends?
