Glenn Beck, Eric Massa Collapse Into Black Hole of Cosmic Awkwardness

“America, I think I’ve wasted your time.”

Glenn Beck made a big deal out of landing an exclusive, hour-long one-on-one with outraged, seething, ready-to-go-Krakatoa Dem Congressman Eric Massa. Malkin and Limbaugh both warned him that interviewing Massa was likely to be the “Al Capone’s Vault” of misbegotten on-air scoops, but Beck predictably followed his gut straight into this year’s Christmas party reel of TV’s Queasiest Moments.

I haven’t screened the entire show, but this clip is guaranteed to make you feel like Emily Litella watching a live performance of “Who’s On First?” featuring Bob Dole and the ghost of Brother Theodore. The other segments can be viewed here.

From the comments on the Freeper live-thread, I get the feeling Beck was as bored as his audience by the end. Bored—but, surprisingly enough, not to tears.

At :27, the Chyron reads, “Massa: I Groped Staffer But Not Sexually”~~

Are we missing something here? Last I heard, Massa had made inappropriate sexual remarks. Now he’s asexually groping staffers?

Washington Post is now reporting, although without corroboration, that there were *asexual* gropings of the plural kind.

But because sexual harassment is no big deal after all, the real reason he’s resigning is because of Rahm. It was pretty funny to see the wingers hailing their new hero only to have the huzzahs slowly die down into embarrassed mumbles.

marindenver - you are so right with regard to Al Capone’s vault…visited the Freepers live thread and found out Michelle Malkin is a mensch. Who knew?

I actually heard that and Beck was out of line with her. She doesn’t want him to make much of Massa. He did apologize on air after the conversation. I can’t imagine taking issue with Michelle Malkin. She’s a mensch. Well, of the female kind.
