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. It’s a blatant, false statement."

He will show. He resigned so no House ethics probe. With that achieved he can feel free to spill the beans on 0bama and Rahm thuggery. This will be his revenge for being hounded out of Congress in record time compared to Charles Rangel and that Jefferson crook in Louisiana or anyone else

I think he’ll show up also. I just have some questions about Massa’s credibility. To me, he is sort of a lower-case version of another loose cannon we have here in FL named Alan Grayson - motor mouth, vindictive spirit, the public be damned attitude. It’s up to Massa to come up with more than just a his word against theirs scenario.

Alan Grayson and Massa are both major screwballs. Grayson has had his good moments jousting with Bernanke....you can see it on youtube. You can never tell when lighting might strike and a liberal loudmouth will help us out

Massa’s rant was a very coherent stream of consciousness put down. His riff off of Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”.

Is this about 0bama??-—>>>>>

You’ve gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
But you know you only used to get juiced in it
And nobody has ever taught you how to live on the street
And now you find out you’re gonna have to get used to it
You said you’d never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but know you realize
He’s not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?

Ann was right on. Saw the clip on Fox News. She was correct. However Massa’s health care comments should be used to the Republican/ Tea Party advantage. It is good Beck will have him on. I may tune in then. Have been watching youtube video lately.

Massa is a liberal moonbat; in fact, he voted against Obamacare because it wasn’t liberal enough.
I've heard that too. This is why an enemy of my enemy isn't necessarily my friend.

I was never much of a Dylan fan, but very apropos in this case.

thanks! :)

I don’t get the “railroading thing”. He didn’t have to quit - did he?

No, and I sure wish Massa had hung in there with his NO vote in the House. Now Pelosi is one vote closer to ObamaCare... We MUST stop this monstrosity.

Massa will be Glenn Beck's guest today for the full hour at 5pm ET / 2pm PT on the Fox News Channel. I think Massa is also appearing on Larry King Live tonight, but as I don't watch CNN much, I'm not sure about that.
