You know Eric Massa: he’s the progressive Congressman from NY-29 who doesn’t know what ‘treason’ is. Remember this?
Yeah, they just ate that up with a spoon at the Netroots Nation thing. And now Massa’s retiring, officially for health reasons; but amid… allegations. Which is interesting; because the first, logical assumption that such allegations involved “show us on the doll where the Congressman touched you, son” may be a bit off of the mark. It may be more along the lines of the Congressman attacking a subordinate’s sexual orientation in a manner reminiscent of anti-gay bigots, virulent homophobes, and/or the new Chair of the House Ways & Means committee. At least, that’s how I’m reacting to his admission of ‘salty language‘…
But all of that pales before the real question: when is Massa giving back Rangel’s dirty money? I won’t bother asking why he took it in the first place, as I already know the answer. Besides, as of 3:30 PM EST the man’s irrelevant anyway.
Well. More irrelevant.

But when Bush and the GOP was running things
Leopard1996 (Diary) Wednesday, March 3rd at 4:59PM EST (link)Dissent was patriotic, and lies such as we are terrorizing women and children in the dead of night were within the rights of freedom of speech. Now any opposition to anything that these scumbags do is going to be called treason in a public forum and no one but us will call them on it.

No mention of his cancer
redtillimdead (Diary) Wednesday, March 3rd at 5:11PM EST (link)Look, I hate this man as much as anyone here. However, I think it is sick that in this post it is nothing but negative comments against him and speculation. No mention of the fact that his cancer is back and his prognosis does not look good. This man is possibly in the last few months of his life, and all we can do is discuss the possibility that he sexually assaulted an aide? There has been no confirmation and no proof. Politico was the only media outlet to report on it. The rest said it after Politico did. May be true, but until we get proof, can we at least respect him and his family when he may be about to die?

I don't respect Democrat leaders who aren't any such thing
RedBeard Wednesday, March 3rd at 5:43PM EST (link)The word “leader” is supposed to be a superlative, and not a malaprop or a sick joke.

Fair comment, to your credit
RedBeard Wednesday, March 3rd at 7:15PM EST (link)Particularly fair, given the propensity of Dems to vote against life.

"Treason" is the new "I hate you" used by ignorant folks
RedBeard Wednesday, March 3rd at 5:37PM EST (link)Words just don’t mean what they used to mean.
And it’s sad when a sitting member of Congress can’t get it straight.
We have 300,000,000 people to choose from to fill only 535 jobs, yet we can’t do any better than this guy? Pathetic.

I wish Massa well with his cancer but I don’t buy for NY minute he isn’t running because of it. Its more like a harasment charge
