Former representative Eric Massa appearance on CNN's "Larry King Live", and on the right-wing Glenn Beck show, were politically duds. Massa underwent a meltdown. He admitted that the reason why he gave up his seat in Congress was his fault, and that he may have engaged in some questionable tickling behavior with male staffers, and that he blames others for giving him a tough time, namely the White House chief of staff, but says he wasn't intimidated by anyone, because he is man enough to take care of himself. And he stuttered and he flustered.
The Big buzz from the Larry King Show was a tiny little wasp, when Larry King asked former Rep. Eric Massa if he was gay or not. Massa refused to answer the question. Some are saying he flipped out; others are saying that he came unglued. Massa said, "Well, here's that answer, I'm not going to answer that. In -- in year 2010? Why don't you ask my wife, ask my friends, ask the 10,000 sailors I served with in the Navy. I'm not going to answer that. That's -- that is such...Well, but it's an insulting... Not me...It insults every gay American, because somewhere it... It somehow classifies people. Why would anybody even ask that question in this day and age?" (Towleroad)
The Glenn Beck Show promised to feature a teller of falsehoods (a man who changed his story many times) comforted by the number one teller of falsehoods at Fox News, where one finds the motherload of all tellers of falsehoods, but when the falsehood teller wouldn't compound his falsehoods, the number one falsehood teller was forced to admit -- looking straight into the camera, he said, "America, I've got to shoot straight with you. I think I've wasted your time. I think this is the first time I have wasted an hour of your time, and I apologize for that." (The Washington Post) Well, yesterday afternoon wasn't the first time the teller of falsehood wasted America's time. Well, he is a teller of falsehoods.
Of course Mr. Massa has been wasting a lot of people's time too.
