An American Lion

You probably don’t know this, but grown men tickle each other all the time. It’s called playful grabass. I tickle other men all the time. They don’t like it, but I do it anyway. I’m a powerful man; I’m allowed to tickle others. I don’t tickle women anymore; as soon as the year 1991 hit, I had to stop grabassing with women, and, by that I mean, yes, I had to stop grabbing asses, tickling, and playing honkedy-honk-honk and lefty-is-your-righty-on-opposite-day. Fortunately, I was never sued. Slapped, thrown down a flight of stairs, and pushed into the sides of buses and cabs, absolutely. But sued? Hells no.

Representative (former? reluctant? weird?) Eric Massa likes to tickle the fellows, and there’s nothing wrong with that:

A day after former Rep. Eric Massa acknowledged tickling a colleague but denied the intent was sexual, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer accused “some people” of seeking to politicize the situation of the New York lawmaker, who resigned amid accusations of sexual harassment.

Hoyer did not specify whom he was talking about in an interview on NBC’s TODAY show.

He was asked whether he thought Republicans were trying to politicize the situation involving the resigned Democrat to strengthen opposition to the health care overhaul bill.

You have to hand it to those Obama people. They knowhow to end a man’s career. And, you have to hand it to Massa. He knows how to hand the Obama people exactly what they need to end his career.
