100308boklores1Eric Massa resigned today. The married congressman from NY is accused of sexually harassing a male staffer. Massa claims to be the victim of a dem conspiracy to run him out of town because he won’t vote for health care.  But the congressman has no clothes.  He says Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel yelled at him while they were both naked as jaybirds in the shower at the house gym. Emanuel’s fully clothed yelling recently upset liberals and the mental health community.

During the health care summit Obama twice pointed out, with a smile on his face, that he was the president.  This seemed redundant since everyone in the room was already calling him “Mr. President”.  He returned the favor by addressing them by their first names as if they were kids in his class - which they sort of were.  Peggy Noonan and  Dennis Prager picked up on this.

Helpful note to the president: don’t call Senator Boxer “Babs”.

William McGurn, in his WSJ column today, dredged up  some Joe Biden comments form 2007 on Iraq  - “fundamental strategic mistake” to believe “there is any possibility in the lifetime of anyone here of having the Iraqis get together, have a unity government in Baghdad that pulls the country together. That will not happen, George.”
