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

"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.

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:

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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.
