More Details Emerging On Rep. Massa’s Ethics Charges
Late breaking developments tonight from The Politico:
A week after announcing he was retiring from Congress for health reasons, New York Democrat Eric Massa finds himself in the midst of a fast-growing sex scandal involving allegations that he had improper physical contact with several men who worked for him — including at least one intern.
In a widely anticipated interview on Glenn Beck’s Fox News show Tuesday night, Massa acknowledged that he had “groped” and “tickled” a male staffer at the congressman’s 50th birthday party.
He also said he’d used rough language when he shouldn’t have and that he had jokingly told a male staffer at a wedding reception that he’d rather have sex with him than with one of the bridesmaids.
But, Massa told Beck, “I did nothing sexual.”
Now does he mean “sexual” in the Bill Clinton definition?
Moving on….
The House ethics committee has received allegations that former Rep. Eric Massa groped at least three male staffers and conducted himself improperly with interns as well as full-time aides, a source familiar with the matter tells POLITICO.
One incident allegedly occurred when Massa traveled to San Francisco with an aide for a fundraising trip, a second source said.
I have been made aware of other rumors that put the Massa scandal into a whole new orbit. I cannot print them until I get confirmation. But I can assure you that this man has some serious criminal charges in his future.

It’s all true.
I saw him on Beck, and he was looking down when he spoke.
Beck said that Massa would be a terrible person if he said this then ended up being found guilty of bad stuff, then instead of saying confidently that that wouldn’t happen, he sheepishly said, “So be it.”

Another politician, another scandal. When is this going to stop?! Almost makes me wish we lived in a monarchy with a king who could cut off ALL their heads!

The bigger scandal is that these charges are coming out now, when, just like Rahm Emmanuel knew about Foley for a year and sat on it, Democrats have known about Massa for some time now and did nothing. And they would have continued to protect him if he had switched to a “yes” vote on Obamacare.
The second biggest story here is that the Corrupt Media dutifully launched a full broadside at Massa after he alleged that the Democrats had orchestrated these leaks for the sake of their agenda while dismissing his very credible charges out of hand.

…the bigger scandal at this point, that is. I have no idea what the rumors you are talking about entail.

Hmmmm..guess there NO repubs who can’t their pants zipped or their hands to themselves. Oh and of course all of those Right leaning religious leaders are themselves faithful. Why not start pointing of these guys out instead of going after Bill every time…I know he’s an easy target for you all but geez…give it a break.
As for Massa although I do believe this is Chicago politics..he was the one who had the issues in the first place. I gotta give him credit tho for holding on his vote..mdo wish he would have stayed in and actually voted.

Oh my! This just gets better and better. I’m not sure I have enough popcorn here in the house to make it through all of this. Hmm…time to make a run to the store…

Lets see, we have the nasty, narcissistic, flip-flopping Massa on the one hand and Charlie Rangel on the other hand. Surely the Massa fellow is more of a target for the ethics committee, because he has so many adjectives attached to his name.

Hmmm… I guess there are NO left-leaning politicians who can’t keep their pants zipped.
Oh, wait, maybe there’s Massa and Bill, just to name two.
