The money ... was described as a "campaign management fee."

Would a rose by any other name smell as sweetly?

Massa has Rahm’s fingerprints all over him.

Another juicy tidbit: Eric Massa Gives Back $112,000 (NY Daily News)

When you flame out of Congress as spectacularly as former Rep. Eric Massa, it’s going to cost you. In Massa’s case, $111,960.30.

That’s how much his campaign committee has returned to donors since he departed Congress under allegations of fondling and harassing make staffers.

Among those getting refunds: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and Democratic House Whip Jim Clyburn — $2,000 each.

The House Ethics Committee ended its investigation of Massa last month,...

The House Ethics Committee lacks ethics so where is the surprise coming from?

"The congressman routinely made gestures implying that he wanted oral sex,....

But he served the public well and made America a better place so what's the big deal? /s

the payment will surely raise questions in light of reports that Massa had sexually harassed male ...members of his staff, including interns. This week a former aide to Massa reportedly filed a sexual harassment complaint against the former representative.
I disagree. There is no question about what Massa is, what he did, and to which party he belonged. Funny how *his* private e-messages weren't leaked by Demwits in Congress. Thanks La Enchiladita.

The people of NY are going to really enjoy all of these revelations soon to come. I bet millions wish they could return Massa to Congress already.

Joe Racalto started his career in Congress as a Legislative Aide to Barney FRank in 2001.

He was hired by Massa on Jan 3, 2009 as Chief of Staff.

Looky here: http://www.legistorm.com/person/Joseph_Racalto/12882.html

A comic soap opera in the making as the details are flushed out?
