How do you have a political arguement with a naked man?

Well if Eric Messa's story is right...that is exactly what happened to him. He says he was in the Congressional gym shower..when Rahm Emanuel came in...naked...and mad as heck that he would not vote for Obama's budget. "I'm sitting there 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 because I wasn't gonna vote for the president's budget," Massa said. "Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man? ... It's ridiculous.By the way, what the heck is he doing in the congressional gym? He goes there to intimidate members of Congress." Wow...wierd..I have heard some stories about Rahm Emanuel..none good...some right down scarey when it comes to his behavior. So I can't say this shocks me. So...how do you have a political arguement with a naked man? What do you think of Emanuel doing this? What would you have done?

I can say it doesn't shock me either. I'm of the belief the Dems/this Administration are probably involved in this man's demise. I also won't be suprised when they appoint his replacement, and it will be somebody who's in favor of Obama Care. How do you have an argument with a naked man? You don't. I didn't like Emanuel before this and my opinion hasn't changed.

Personally. I would not have argued with him...I would have kicked his you know what. Rahm is such an unethical and unstable jerk.But then I guess he fits in with the rest.

At my age, you might think about kicking someone's a**, but I can barely get my leg up in the air. I hear you on Rahm and the rest of the Chicago bunch!

I do that politics are important, but not so important that it could not wait until you put some cloths on. Rahm is insane so I could not begin to tell you why he would do something like this. I wonder what else has he done that has not come out yet. What would I have done, I would have told he that either he shuts up or I am walking out.

I personally feel Rahm is unstable and needs mental help. Some of the things I have heard about him make him sound VERY unstable and more than a little scarey. How this man got to Washington is beyond me.

I was driving in the car when I heard this on the radio. I had to pull over and stop. It took me about five minutes to pull myself together. Unfortunately I got a visual of this. This is so ridiculous and so Rahm Emmanuel!

From what we've learned since you started this discussion I'd have to say that IF this had happened Massa probably would have TICKLED him, before he tried to snorkel him, then he'd probably end with a "Massa Massage". Annie

I have to say when I read the story on it..I got the visual in my head too and laughed my butt off. But it would not be soo funny if you happened to you. I know I would be ticked off as heck. It surprises me Messa did not hit him.

LOL...I don't think anyone would want to tickle a ticked off Rahm Emanuel. To say that man is scarey is an understatement. Now if it was one of his staffer...ya I could see it turning out that way...but not with Rahm. He is no joke.

Since Obama can't have the Black Panthers in the WH to intimidate people, he has Rahm. What a scary guy! How would I have a political argument with a naked man? Over the phone, or else it doesn't happen. I firmly believe that the dems put out the rumor of impropriety against Massa and threatened him good to force him out.

That's typical Chicago mob-style politics. Obama's specialty.

That is basically what Massa said today...he would not vote for the healthcare bill...so they threatened him...try to bully him..and when that did not work...they got him investigated and pushed him out. Why? Because he would do what Obama told him to do. Sounds like the Dems in office are taking tips from the mob when it comes to how to get their way.

Wow......that is very disturbing behavior. I guess if it happened to me, I would just burst out laughing and pointing, providing there were others near enough in case he got angry and started to hit me. If there were no other people around, I would scream. I would not want anyone naked getting angry with me and most especially if I were in the same state. That's just plain weird!

As I sit here watching the "Pelican Brief" is this movie a look into the future? After all Rahm Emanuel does not have far to look for help "removing" problems. He could ask Bill Ayers how to go far enough to solve the problem. Or maybe he could call in the Black Panthers who helped out at some polling places. As a last resort there is ACORN to call on to help. And if all else fails Rahm can call on the Chicago.....

Chicago.... that seems to where Rahm learned his tatics. LOL.

Well, if a naked guy burst in on me I'd call the police. You don't go busting into a woman's shower room completely naked and expect to leave without handcuffs slapped on your wrist. I wonder if a harassment suit could be filed? Assuming this is true, of course.

Well he was a least smart enough not to bust in on the female members of congress this way...but you would still think that the male members of congress could stop him. I do think it is true. Because of behavior other congressman have said Rahm has done. He seems very heavy handed and has the manners of a spoiled brat 5 year old.

When I heard the things Massa had to say about Emanuel, including not just this story but about Rahm calling him and reaming him out over health care and describing his speech as being very vulgar, I was reminded of the recent story where Emanuel reportedly called a group of Democrats he was meeting with "f---ing retards". Massa will be accused of saying these things to try to shift the focus off himself, but he's clearly not the only one telling these kinds of stories about Rahm Emanuel. I think that Massa has done what most of us would do - he told Emanuel where to get off and as a result, they've decided to get rid of Massa. With the bribes and deals and vote-buying they've already openly engaged in to push through the president's agenda, can this kind of thuggish behavior really surprise anyone?

The thuggish behavior from Rahm does not surprise me....but it does tick me off. A lot of members of congress are telling about horrible behavior from Rahm. Obama needs to reign him in. He is a loose cannon.

If this is true, why the heck was Emanuel even in there? He's not a part of congress!

Exactly. Messa says he goes there to do just what he did. Corner congressmen in the shower and yell at them over their votes. I have heard of other outlandish things Rahm has done...so this does not really surprise me. But it surprises me that the congressmen don't stand up for themselves.
