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.

the important thing is that it has pushed BO’s speech off the discussion on Capitol Hill.

Van Hollen and the rest of the corrupt crowd can’t do all the talk shows, knowing they’ll be asked about this.

This leak was well-timed by HCR opponents.

What is it about the water in the Potomac that turns so many into flaming homos?

He was married, which means closeted. If he’d been out and proud, Pelosi would’ve stood behind his culture of corruption.

"Looks like this guy was a dead man walking anyway. "

I'm afraid he's not alone. It scares me because many of these Dems might believe that they're going to get defeated irrespective of their vote on this Obamacare debacle. They might choose to go out with a bang, rather than a whimper.

I was at one of this libhole’s townhall meetings. He’s a liar and a hack. He was toast anyway, won by 1.6% on Obama’s coattails.

OK...when did the Speaker know and what did she do about it? Obviously this swamp needs draining. We need new leadership to put an end to this ‘culture of corruption’.

I think “Sexually harassed male staffer” was his out, as in his way out of having to stay in politics because of Obamacare.
