Rep. Eric Massa (D. N.Y.) took responsibility quickly for sexual harassment charges. What really happened and should the Representative have resigned and fallen on his sword? What has the ethics investigation and allegation been about?
Let us look at a few facts and you tell me what is up;
On a radio show, WKPQ Power 105 FM, Massa shared
the story of what actually happened and why he thought there was so much attention focusing on him.
All this started when Rep. Massa and his wife went to a staff member's wedding. There were 250 people there, drinks were flying and cameras everywhere. He admitted that most there were drinking way too much and he danced with the bride and the bridesmaid. The cameras captured all this and nothing occurred.
Massa then says he sat down at a table with his entire staff. All were drinking heavily and were bachelors. Bad humor and alcohol were flying around. Massa says that one of his staff members, in ‘colorful’ language made the suggestion that he should be chasing after the bridesmaid for sex.
Massa says he was inappropriate in his joking response back to the staffer and said “What I really ought to be doing is frakking you,’ as he tossled the guy’ hair then left the room. Rep. Massa is the first to admit his behavior was inappropriate, thus his admission and
resignation.
What appears to have really happened is that they all drank too much at a wedding and party. Massa didn’t have sex with anyone and seemed to be in a humorous, raw way putting his staffer who suggested he go have sex with the bridesmaid, back in his place.
We all know that the words weren’t right and the drinking wasn’t right, but has the persecution and ethics hunt by the Democrats been proportionate and right???
This is classic Chicago politics, yet again. Nothing really happened except bad humor between two guys. Massa was there with his wife, for goodness sake. So, why the intense focus??? It is only vividly clear. Eric Massa voted no for the health care bill and would vote no again if he was staying on. The Democratic leadership had no choice but to dig to China for a scandal surrounding him. They could only hope he was a closet gay, pedophile or adulterer.
Though none of the above, at least they caught him putting a staffer in his place in an alcohol laden way with his wife at the location. It would have been so much better if he had grabbed the staffer's privates and drifted into a bedroom with more alcohol….but no. Massa wasn’t having a gay moment, and seemed to be, simply, with bad humor putting his staffer back in his place.
To the Obama, Pelosi and Reid mind, Eric Massa must be destroyed and completely ruined publicly. They can’t have any more no votes regarding the
health care bill. Who cares about sacrificing their own for an inappropriate statement.
Inappropriate, menacing, and untrue statements are all the Obama administration says and they seem most concerned about this drunken gay jab after what the staffer had just said to Massa? I can think of a few men I know who would have done and said more to the staffer then what Massa merely said.
What other Democrats will be destroyed for voting no last time and the alleged ‘next’ time on the Health care bill? Are we going to have a sea of closet gays and adulterers show up???
