“Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?”

I heard this on Rush Limbaugh’s show during my lunch break and couldn’t stop laughing. Here is Eric Massa, former representative from New York’s 29th congressional district, describing his gym shower encounter with Rahm Emanuel:

Bahahahaha! Don’t know much about Massa, other than the fact that he represents the Southern Tier, the armpit of New York (the North Country is the greasy crotch crease, Rochester is the asshole, and Buffalo is the taint [sorry, Anouk], for those of you keeping score), but this is classic stuff.

As a nonpartisan observer of the partisan political machine, it is quite amusing to watch Barack Obama’s Glorious Thousand-Year Reign fall to pieces in little more than a year of existence. The hacks thought the Democrats had a lock on the government, that the Republicans were “reduced to a regional Southern party” that would “be in the political wilderness for a generation.” The hacks never get it right.

Massa’s district is dominated by the GOP, who will probably try to fuck up the special election like they did the last time. But if a Republican can win a seat in Taxachusetts – the seat of the esteemed senator from Chappaquiddick, no less – they can win in Trailer Park Country. I look forward to the sweet mewling of my obnoxious liberal co-workers when it happens.
