Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., under investigation for alleged sexual harassment of a male staffer, accused House Democratic leaders of lying about the charges against him and using them to run him out of Congress because he voted against health care reform when it last came before the House.
Roll Call reports this morning that on the local radio show he hosts in his district, Massa said he had not been informed of the sexual harassment allegations before they became public. He claimed that Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., spoke falsely when he said he had brought the matter to him previously, Massa said. Steny Hoyer has never said a single word to me, at all, ever, not once," Massa said. "Not a word. This is a lie. Its a blatant, false statement."

MD ping for our man Steny....
Welcome to the USSR. It’s critical to control the content of the news.
One thing he said is that the ‘Rats are saying that health care reform will decide the future of the ‘Rat Party. Maybe that’s why they’re risking so much to ram this down our throats.
I listened to the whole interview on real politics. Rahm confronted Massa naked in the showers. Why is that not a sexual advance?
The things Massa describes sounds like things I have seen men do in jest. They tease each other relentlessly. Where Massa was wrong was doing it to those he should not have felt that close with.
The one incident where they are on a ship and a fellow is doing his thing, he walks in and says something like, “if you need help with that let me know.” The guy was embarrassed so he got even with Massa it sounds like to me.
It may come out Massa has done more than joke. But for now Massa to me is very believable.
FRiends, check out STARWISE's post #138 above:
Oh jeeze .. they have to have an Emergency
Internet Scrub Team on call 24/7.
If the rest of the folks out there knew what
we know .. that they have teams of drones
employed to banish contrary info on the web,
they’d be shocked.
This is merely the tip of the iceberg:
“Six years after its founding to counter what it said was conservative misinformation, Media Matters for America employs a staff of 70 that spends 19 hours a day monitoring newspapers, magazines, broadcast and cable television, talk radio, and the Internet to counter reporting or commentary it deems to be inaccurate or biased.”

Thanks for the ping!
Well thanks to RINO Newt (Juan McCain & Palin’s friend) and Dede - they ****ed up NY-23 and we needed that vote. If Massa votes against it - he is our friend.
Did you all hear?? Dan Rather says Obama couldnt sell watermellons if state troopers were flaging down traffic on the side of the road!!!!
The stuff Rush played today was really explosive. I tried to find it collected together as he played it but have been unable so far. The part about the shower is included here.

The lack of shower curtains in the Congressional mens’ shower room - We finally found some “TRANSPARENCY” in Congress!
The word on Drudge is that ballet dancer “Rham” Emanuel gave Massa a tongue lashing while the two were naked in the shower.
Truth is stranger than fiction...
Rahm is one of the most power hungry, evil men on the face of this earth.
Bumping your post.
They’re trying to control EVERYTHING ..
EVERYWHERE.
We are currently being entertained by
a couple of these invader creeps ..

About those curtains ... I'm 63 now. I've been using gyms all over the place since elementary school right up to the present. The only time I ever got to use a separate stall shower was a few years ago when the showers in the men's locker room at my gym needed to be overhauled. They broke down a wall and put up another temporary wall so that us guys had access to two of the shower stalls in the women's locker room.

FYI: Good idea to get personal emails of a few of
your FRiends for emergency contact, especially after
the hours FR was down on Sunday, something they would
love to do to us, and I have no doubt could attempt to
do .. permanently.
I guess *entertained* is the keyword.
*sigh*
1) Rahm does this so he be sure no one is taping him, and
2) Perhaps the shower curtains were removed at Barney Frank's request?

So that’s the woman! LOL!
