Report: Married Dem Rep. Massa Sexually Harassed Male Staffer; Will Retire
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 4:59 PM
Whoa. Here’s the latest news from the Pelosi Swamp…
Married Democratic Rep. Eric Massa reportedly sexually harassed a male staffer. He announced today that he will retire.
The Politico reported:
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 told POLITICO early Wednesday afternoon that no one has brought allegations of misconduct to him.
Asked about the sexual harassment allegations, Massa said: “When someone makes a decision to leave Congress, everybody says everything. I have health issues. I’ll talk about it [later].”
Massa has suffered from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. On a conference call with reporters Wednesday afternoon, he said he was hospitalized in December and that his doctors made it clear to him that he can’t continue to “run at about 100 miles an hour.”
He denied that he was retiring because of a sexual harassment claim.
“Do I or have I ever used salty language when I’m angry, especially in the privacy of my inner office or even at home? Yes, I have, and I have apologized to those where it’s appropriate,” Massa said. “But those kinds of articles, unsubstantiated without fact or backing, are a symptom of what’s wrong with this city.”
It was a busy day in Swampland…
There was this… The New York State ethics commission accused Democratic Governor David Paterson of violating laws by accepting free World Series tickets.
And this… Democrook Charlie Rangel announced today that he would “temporarily” step down from his powerful post as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. The House ethics committee admonished Mr. Rangel last week for violating Congressional gift rules.
And, don’t forget this… The National Enquirer, America’s trusted paper of record, reported today that former Democratic Vice President Candidate John Edwards will be indicted.
The scum is floating to the top.

After the Dems made hay with Larry Craig, I guess people in glass toilet stalls shouldn’t throw stones. It appears Madam Speaker that when you ‘drain the swamp’ all you are left with is the scum on the bottom.

What’s the matter with you? This is different from Larry Craig’s little incident. Craig is a republican. This guy is a democrat. That makes all the difference in the world.
Tim commented:
Sorry, I forgot. Dem pervs aren’t bad people, they make great Czars, especially schools Czars.

Jim,
This reminds me of the waste treatment plants that I have seen. We call them “whipped sh!t”!
ShellyH commented:
Will Rep. Massa receive the same scrutiny and treatment as Rep. Mark Foley? I really doubt it. BTW, Foley was a scumbag, too!
gus commented:
This piece of sh!t didn’t deny he was a homo perv. It’s Clintonian in it’s non-denial denial.

Just one more member of Nancy’s new and improved “Culture of Corruption”.

I wonder for how long the Dinosaur Media will be able to sweep their Dem-pals’ pecadillos under the rug? How long will they continue to cover Leftist **s without looking like lapdogs to the entire American populace?
The old saying,“You can fool some of the people some of the time. But you can’t fool all of the all of the time…,” has proven to be true many a time.
‘Guess we’ll see with how Massa’s, um, indiscretion is reported. Then we’ll know the answer to those questions.

No democrat gives up power freely or because some “medical excuse”. There’s more going on here than is being reported.

I just looked over at the Hufpo and the comments are more about how the story should be pulled because his cancer has come back.
The libs are giving him a pass.
Militant Conservative commented:
Again too much rich stuff here again.

Cancer? Where? Anal or cerebral? How do you tell the diff? LOL, High risk behavior gets worse diseases. hmmmm what’s worse than the big C. GRIDS anyone.
If you libs take offense, don’t care. Just giving your team/president the same respect you gave mine.

“Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.”
As Ace put it,
“Hey, not saying you should change your vote, but your brother might think you should…”
anon commented:
Didn’t Massa vote against healthcare? Doesn’t matter though, not like his vote matters w/ reconciliation option.

The Most Ethical Congress in history! Really…I swear!
The hits to the Dems keep a comin’ as yet another TWO prominent House members fall from grace. Just a few short years after Speaker Pelosi gave the campaign promise on the mount to “Drain the swamp” and bring us “The Most Ethical Congress in history” the quantity of scandal and greed is piling up pretty high. Of course we know from Nancy herself that, “Lot’s of things get said out on the campaign trail.” Oh how I wish we could power our cars and factories on the political snake oil we were sold at the ’06 mid-terms!
It appears that Congressman Rangel is having is Ways and Means gavel wrangled from him as he is finally taken down on the technicality of not claiming some past corporate perks. This is akin to Al Capone going up river for tax evasion. How quickly we are shown the shiny object that is the svelte and sexy Charlie splayed out in his Caribbean beach chair in hopes that we will soon forget there are scores of other charges pending. From ill-gotten and underreported rental gains to various other misappropriated funds the man who decided how we should be taxed found a big box next to his name that said ‘exempt’. Sorry Charlie, time to start redistributing your wealth too.
As well it appears today that Representative Eric Massa, also from the great state of New York will be turning tail and not running claiming medical difficulties. Initial reports cite that he is deathly allergic to scandal. There are rumors circulating that he sexually harassed a male staffer. Apparently Madam Speaker, it was fun to cast judgment when the offendee was a Republican (Larry Craig) but people in glass toilet stalls shouldn’t throw stones.
All this on the heels of quite a few other scandals that have been conveniently swept under the rug by the ‘mainstream’ media, such as Rep. Jefferson-LA, who borrowed a few of the extra life-saving vehicles during Katrina to retrieve the bribe money in his fridge.
It appears that when you drain the swamp all you are left with is scum. Will the last honest house member please do the eco-friendly thing and turn out the lights when you leave?

If you’re going to retire anyway, how about you retire NOW so you don’t taint Obamacare with your vote.
Ginger commented:
I have been saying for a long time that the liberal demo rats are SUM OF THE EARTH!
Sorry about the shouting.
jainphx commented:
Shout away Ginger! These guys need more than shouting. I’m tired, tired of lies that are so easily told, tired of congress critters coming into office broke and then becoming instant millionaires. Tired of people that are not capable of shining my shoes telling me how to live. Look how ignorant Waters (D-cal) is, and yet she’s lecturing business people on business.
To start over is a dream that can be made true, if only we can hang on.
