The White House needs this like it needs a hole in the head. After a brutal week for Democrats that included David Paterson's ongoing implosion in New York and Charlie Rangel (in)voluntarily turning over his gavel due to a string of never-ending ethics problems, Rep. Eric Massa's no-holds barred radio interview yesterday has things picking up right where they left off last Friday - and then some.

For those who want the short version: on Friday Massa resigned after news leaked during the middle of the week that he was "under investigation by the House ethics committee for allegedly sexually harassing a male staffer." On Sunday, Massa took to the airwaves and claimed that he was forced out of Congress by the White House and the Democratic leadership in the House because he was a "no vote" on the pending health care bill.

In the interview, Massa delivered a series of broadsides against Rahm Emanuel, reciting two occasions where the Chief of Staff cursed him out - including once when the two men were standing naked in the locker room of the Congressional gym. Massa called Emanuel the "son of the devil's spawn" and said he would "strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive" to get a vote passed through Congress.
