Everything I ever DIDN'T want to know about sailors, I learned from this movie (which I watched in a film studies class):

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Massa, a 20-year Navy veteran

How do you retire after one term as a congress critter. I believe the correct term is will not run for re election..

[Evil Slayer]

He should be censured. Couldn’t they strip him of the right to vote? One less yea vote for deathcare?

>>>Massa, a 20-year Navy veteran,<<<

Makes me wonder how many of this type of incident would occur in the military if don’t ask don’t tell is repealed. He apparently served 20 years in the Navy without harassing anyone. I have serious doubts as to whehter he could have done that, if had had been allowed to be open about his sexual preferences.

LOL!!! You sick Blah, blah, blah, you know.

[gathersnomoss]

I am guessing that this one will be hard to swallow.

[windsorknot]

Don’t worry, Eric, the Dims are pulling for you.

[StAntKnee]

Not his heart that was the problem.

Sumpin else. In the wrong place.

[who knows what evil?]

Unfortunately, this guy voted against health care bill because it wasn’t single payer. He may vote for it now he has nothing to lose.

He has to go back home after his term is finished...angry neighbors make lousy neighbors.

If that’s all he mustered in NY on Obama’s coattails, I’d say that seat is a Republican lock for 2010.

The district is very rural and was solidly Republican until Chautauqua County was removed and the southernmost suburbs of Rochester added to it during the most recent gerrymandering several years ago.

[trisham]

I suspect he may be moving in the near future.

The funny thing is that all this happens while they’re in power. You’d think they’d get something right, but apparently they’re just a bunch of Keystone Cops.

[Lockbar]

Maybe he knows this guy.....

[JRochelle]

Faggotry, nothing but bad news.

[Second Amendment First]

Well, the NY Times still has not reported this yet.

[Seven plus One]

Their only rule is that there aren’t any stinkin’ rules. Even though he’s a dead man politically, they need somebody’s “d” ass in that seat for as long as legally possible, if not longer.

[gathersnomoss]

Do you need further evidence to know that the political class in this country must be destroyed. They are a pox to our civilization.

[JRochelle]

GUILTY!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Probably asked the staffer to help him bone up on some issues.
