Congressman Massa, **please**. . . Don’t pretend the reconciliation strategy on the health-care bill is the most outrageous thing you’ve ever had forced down your throat! 😉 ---

I wonder if Massa’s under any kind of suicide watch. He would seem a prime candidate. ---

The TDS piece showing the clips from Massa’s appearance on Glenn Beck was pretty amusing. They charted it from Beck’s triumphant announcemt of the appearance, and his claims that Massa was going to blow the lid off the corruption of the Obama adminstration. Then clips from the interview, with Beck’s growing frustration that Massa wouldn’t say the Obama adminsitartion had done anything wrong. Beck was pulling his hair out, begging Massa to expose any kind of corruption at all by Obama or the Dems (he was literally saying the words, “any corruption at all”), and still getting nothing. Beck ended by telling the audience he’d wasted an hour of their time and he was sorry. Stewart joked that he should use that as his permamnent sign-off. ---

If someone asks me if I’m gay, my standard response is “take off all your clothes and see if I look.” But I don’t think I’d use that with Larry King, on the off chance he’d take me up on it.
