Massa Fallout: Arianna Declares Sympathy For Glenn Beck

Eric Massa‘s tour de ‘tickle’ hour with Glenn Beck last night has left the host with some unlikely bedfellows (no pun intended!). While, one can only imagine the enjoyment of Rahm Emanuel as it became clearer and clearer that actually, Massa had no intention of accusing the Dems of coercion and conspiracy, an equally unlikely ally voiced her support on Anderson Cooper last night.

Behold Arianna Huffington declaring her sympathy for Glenn Beck. Said Arianna:

“To his credit Glenn Beck….apologized at the end of the hour to his audience for wasting their time. I mean, I never thought anything would make me feel sympathetic towards Glenn Beck, but having to interview Eric Massa for an entire hour made me really feel for him and it was clear not only didn’t he deliver but his story is becoming more and more preposterous.”

Anderson Cooper concurs: “I think Glenn Beck is an enormous talent at what he does, but he clearly seemed to be clutching at straws.”

So there you have it. Eric Massa may have been a complete failure as a congressman but he was able to unite the cablers…if only for a night. Video below.
