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.
What did Bill Nojay have to say about this today?
AND get dentures from dead people!
Someone set us up the bomb!
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.
What a creep. Glad he’s gone. He’s a walking garbage bin.
Massa wanted the full monte— Big Brother takeover of health care.
First Rule of Politicians....never get caught with a dead girl or a live boy.
Why is this sick sodomite retiring? He sounds like your perfect Democrat, and he just boosted his "cred" among typical Democrat voters.
Culture of corruption!
Lonsberry’s latest column is on Eric Massa:

Hes 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:
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.
“First Rule of Politicians....never get caught with a dead girl . . .”
Uhhh, didn’t Ted Kennedy violate that rule for like, 40 years??
Wikipedia says he served uder Gen. Weasely Clark.
maybe it was behind Clark too?
What a district should look like:
Gerrymandered district
