Eric Massa to retire amid allegations he sexually harassed a male staffer
Politico ^ | 3/3/10

Posted on 03/03/2010 11:43:32 AM PST by Second Amendment First

Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) will not seek re-election after only one term in office.

According to several House aides – on both sides of the aisle – the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married with two children, sexually harassed a male staffer.

Massa and his office did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but his office has scheduled a press conference for later this afternoon.

Massa, a 20-year Navy veteran, was elected to office last November. He serves on the Agriculture, Armed Services and Homeland Security committees.

You handle this lightly, but in my experience it is the Navy Officer Corps that has a significant number of folks behind homosexualizing the military.

“Does anybody have any information on what this “sexual harrassment” charge entails? Maybe he just called him an insensitive name or something.
I don’t know, but the timing of this story breaking a day after Massa announces he will vote against the Senate version of the health care bill seems suspicious to me.

Might be a message intended to warn Democratic House members exactly how Nancy Pelosi intends on securing the necessary number of votes from her party”

I agree...it rings of Chicago thuggery.

Thanks for topping my day off. PLEASE give up your DNA. So far I'm down right giddy over the following Dem statements: Obama is the most ethical democrat administration & congress have won the Trifecta today! *Obama breaking promise he would not use Nuclear Option on Healthcare **Rangel giving up Ways & Means Chairmanship ***Massa caught in homo scandal harassing a staffer

Why is this sick sodomite retiring? He sounds like your perfect Democrat, and he just boosted his "cred" among typical Democrat voters.

In a pretty conservative district, it should be noted.

He’s the one who went to the Kos Convention in Pittsburgh and proclaimed that his district was full of racist rednecks.

Massa is my congressman. I wrote a blog article about the incident you refer to, that occurred at the Netroots Conference in Pittsburgh:

In Eric Massa’s Own Words

You know you're not being represented properly when your congressman refers to his constituents as rednecks and repeatedly (6 times!) states on camera, that he will vote against the will of his constituents!

Great blog post. This guy is a scumbag and it’s great that he is “resigning,” even if the press isn’t reporting the real reasons.

Thanks for the reference to Atlas.gov. Just to make a point about gerrymandered districts:
