were the same thing. However, HBO host Bill Maher has a different idea of such an overlapping – that a movement is "right-wing" by definition because it is radical.
On HBO Friday night airing of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” during House Speaker Nancy Pelosi lashed out yesterday at former Rep. Eric Massa, calling him a “poor baby” who is “exaggerating” his importance by appearing on television to discuss his longtime penchant for tickling men. Pelosi also told ABC’s Charlie Rose that Massa’s judgment may be clouded because he is suffering from cancer.
“This is a very sick person,” Pelosi told Rose. “He has been diagnosed with cancer. Perhaps his judgment is impaired because of the ethical issues that have arisen, and he is no longer in the Congress.”
The comments are surprising because new reports out today suggest Pelosi had known Massa was a “very sick person” for much longer than she seems to let on.
Via Wapo:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s office was notified in October by then-Rep. Eric Massa‘s top aide of concerns about the New York Democrat’s behavior, two congressional sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday night.
Joe Racalto, Massa’s chief of staff, was uneasy that Massa, 50, was living with several young, unmarried male staffers and using sexually explicit language with them, one source said. But what finally prompted him to call Pelosi’s director of member services, the source said, was a lunch date that Massa made with a congressional aide in his 20s who worked in the office of Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.).
