The freshman Democrat from New York lambasted House leaders and WhiteHouse Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel on the way out the door beforeofficially resigning at 5 p.m.
Massa appears set to continue the talk; he’ll appear Tuesday on TeaParty favorite Glenn Beck’s program on Fox, according to a tweet byBeck.
Massa’s edgy comments about Emanuel drew the most attention.
Massacalled Emanuel “the son of the devil’s spawn” during his Sunday radioshow and told a story about a naked Emanuel angrily confronting him inthe congressional gym’s shower. Emanuel was angry that Massa was notgoing to support the president’s budget, according to Massa.
“Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?” Massa said.
Massa had fought with Emanuel since the 2006 election.
“Heis an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote,” Massa saidon the radio show. “He would strap his children to the front end of asteam locomotive.”
