MASSA NO MAS!
There is nothing to add to the hours of videos, radio, print and television ravings by the now-departed Congressman Eric Massa. He is presumably back in upstate New York and will hopefully spend the rest of his days drinking decaf and apologizing every day to his family and friends. Massa’s “fifteen minutes of fame” went wayyyy too long. Congressman Massa’s end-of-career-event instead conjures for me what would happen if one of those septic-tank suctioning trucks would overturn on the freeway during evening rush hour.
This morning, I slunk to my laptop, eyes slitted, cringing. Please, no more Massa.
Thankfully, there is no mas.
Being way out here in California ( aka “Beyond Beyond the Beltway”) there is nothing for me to add, except that I am so glad it is over. There is so much actually dangerous, important news to cover with the mercurial Obama administration, there truly was no luxury of time for my East Coast alternate media-ites to be discussing Eric Massa’s tush, (or Rahm Emanuel’s tush,) or pinching, groping, shower curtains, towels, tickling, drinking, rolling, piling on old men, bridesmaids, boy aides, threatening, finger-sticking, finger-pointing, finger-jabbing, tumors, ex-rays of tumors, receding hairlines, presumed back-hair, dealing Democrats, reeling Republicans, Naval vets, navels, gay-baiting, straight-hating, Larry King leering, or Glenn Beck sneering.
I will never, ever, ever watch any YouTube moment of the fore-going and will never, ever say “Eric Massa” ever again.
It could be that a generation of Americans is scarred for life like me for being forced into the bad visual of paunchy Eric Massa and the evil-weenie Rahm Emanuel, both el-buffo, yammering about the health care bill in a smelly locker room.
Eric Massa, who was only in his first year of his first term ever in Congress, proved in no time that he has absolutely no business being there. That’s a new level of dysfunctional.
I will call the entire episode of the last week a self-inflicted “Eric Massa-cre.” And now I will go take a shower.
