Sometimes when you read things your mind just creates a picture in your head. Well turn that part of your brain off RIGHT NOW. This is not an image you want in your mind’s eye. Congressman Eric Massa, who’s being drummed out of Congress for allegedly making inappropriate remarks to young male staffers, said he had a bit of an…altercation with Rahm Emanuel in…the shower.:
“I am showering, naked as a jaybird, and here comes Rahm Emanuel, not even with a towel wrapped around his tush, poking his finger in my chest, yelling at me.”
I’m sorry but that is the stuff of nightmares. Prison nightmares. If by chance you pictured it, there’s surgery to permanently remove your mind’s eye to avoid this kind of thing in the future. Sorry. But I pictured it and now I simply want to spread my pain around. Maybe, together we can get a bulk rate for therapy.

"I am showering, naked as a jaybird…"
Nice to know the elites in Washington shower just like the rest of us plebes…
And will Nationalized Health Care cover the surgery?

This raises the question: did Rahm allow himself into Massa's apartment, or is this more like a Roman bath thing? Either way… ew.

No shower curtains? Well, at least we finally have Transparency!

I can already see the Lifetime movie, "I showered with Satan's son."
Also: tush? Really?

In the spirit of optimistic humanism, St. Francis de Sales would find the silver lining in this situation. I would guess that such an image has the propensity to dispel any addiction to pornography.

nothing is unplanned in this city. Rahm must have given thought to this naked power play. I imagine he imagines he is a big guy and is willing to parade himself publicly in order to intimidate. The crushing blow though is not the shower altercation – it is the blunt force trauma of False Witness aforethought in collusion with co-conspirators. Evil indeed. The Enemy is loosed on the earth and he has his minions.

Is it really in Obama's interest to do away with "Don't ask, don't tell?" I think not. There hasn't been such a corrupt administration since Harding.

Remember that 52-53% of Catholics voted for this mess.

In case anyone was wondering, this incident took place at the House gym. Yes, the House of Representatives has its own gymnasium complete with shower facilities, which present and former House members, including Emanuel, have the right to use any time they wish.
Cash-strapped House members who choose to sleep in their offices rather than attempt to rent apartments or condos in D.C. use the showers also.

@Mack: Those Catholics were mislead by fake Catholics groups and liberal priests, bishops and cardinals. If unchecked, they will usher this great nation to socialism in the name of Christianity. It is a big problem that can keep the liberals in office this year if it remains unchecked.

Massa should have glanced down, glanced back up, and said: "That explains a lot". 😉
