The freshman Democrat from New York lambasted House leaders and White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel on the way out the door before officially resigning at 5 p.m.
Massa appears set to continue the talk; he’ll appear Tuesday on Tea Party favorite Glenn Beck’s program on Fox, according to a tweet by Beck.
Massa’s edgy comments about Emanuel drew the most attention.
Massa called Emanuel “the son of the devil’s spawn” during his Sunday radio show and told a story about a naked Emanuel angrily confronting him in the congressional gym’s shower. Emanuel was angry that Massa was not going to support the president’s budget, according to Massa.
“Do you know how awkward it is to have a political argument with a naked man?” Massa said.
Massa had fought with Emanuel since the 2006 election.
“He is an individual who would sell his mother to get a vote,” Massa said on the radio show. “He would strap his children to the front end of a steam locomotive.”
The White House did not respond to an e-mail asking for comment.
