Former representative. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) has been under investigation for allegations that he groped multiple male staffers working in his office, according to three sources familiar with the probe.
The allegations surrounding the former lawmaker date back at least a year, and involve “a pattern of behavior and physical harassment,” according to one source. The new claims of alleged groping contradict statements by Massa, who resigned his office on Monday after it became public that he was the subject of a House ethics committee investigation for possible harassment.
Massa had said that the allegations were limited to his use of “salty language” with his staff. He apologized for making some inappropriate comments and argued he was being unfairly vilified.
Days later, Massa accused the White House and Democratic congressional leaders of trying to oust him from office to improve their chances of passing health-care reform legislation — a charge that the House majority leader, Rep. Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.), called “absurd.”
Massa could not be reached for comment Tuesday, and no one answered the phone at his campaign office or at his home in Corning, N.Y., where he lives with his wife, Beverly, and a son and daughter. Staff at his former congressional offices declined to relay messages to him and said they did not know how to reach him.
According to two sources familiar with the probe, Massa’s former deputy chief of staff Ron Hikel provided the information about the staffers’ allegations to the House ethics committee three weeks ago. Hikel had earlier sought advice from Hoyer’s office about brewing internal complaints, the sources said, and had been urged to report the allegations to the committee.
Hikel, reached at his home Tuesday, declined to comment on the ethics investigation.
Oh, But Massa says it was not sexual. I’m sorry, but when you walk up to a guy, stoke his hair and say something to the effect of, “Hey Big Boy, Would you like me to push in your stool?” It’s sexual, Okay? So, Please, Massa, get off the dumb crap already. You are gay, why hide it? Just go with it and be done with it! I mean, you are in the right party for all that sort of stuff. I mean, the Democrats are all down with the gay people anyways. So, why hide it?
Sorry, but this all leaves me about ready to freakin’ puke! I mean, I am just not really ready for “All Gay, All The time”. unlike SOME Conservative blogs!
Anyhow, here’s the round up, go take a look. As for me, I will be over here lifting weights or something or another manly.
I know you’re not supposed to, but I just love to say I told you so.
What I told you back on Sept. 28, 2008, was that within a year of the day he left office George W. Bush would come to be regarded with affection and a little nostalgia. The responses (over 300 before the comments were closed) to that prediction were overwhelmingly negative; even the very few who agreed with me attributed what they took to be a sad fact to the stupidity of the American people. The other 290 or so said things like “No way”; “Are you kidding?”; ”Are you mad?”;“What a ridiculous and insulting premise!”; “I’ll miss him like a rash”; “This must be a satire”; “Bush is a sociopath”; “George Bush has destroyed this country”; “History won’t forgive him”; and (a popular favorite) “I hate the man.”
Well it’s a bit more than a year now and signs of Bush’s rehabilitation are beginning to pop up. One is literally a sign, a billboard that appeared recently on I-35 in Minnesota. Occupying the right side (from the viewer’s viewpoint) is a picture of Bush smiling genially and waving his hand in a friendly gesture. Occupying the left side is a simple and direct question: “Miss me yet?” The image is all over the Internet, hundreds of millions of hits, and unscientific Web-based polls indicate that more do miss him than don’t.
Yes, for the fact that Bush realized the war on terror was a real thing and was willing to sacrifice his Presidency for it. Yes, for the fact that he did not pull a “Ron Paul” and cower after the attacks on 9/11 and stood tall and brought America together….at least for a short time. Yes, for taking the fight to the place where Al-Qaeda was located at, in Afghanistan. (at the time…)
No, because of the fact that he listened to the advice of some very foolish people that thought it would be wise to invade Iraq. No, because of the fact that he put a mentally incompetent man, like Donald Rumsfield in charge of our Military; which caused over 4K+ deaths in Iraq. No, because of the fact that the man could not articulate his way out of a paper bag. No, Because of the fact that he threw his ‘Supposed’ Conservative principles into the wind and started an unconstitutional bailout of the banks. No, Because his Wilsonian Foreign Policy.
Simply put, George W. Bush was a mixed bag. No one thought he was perfect, but he was a bit better than this current idiot in the White House. Would I want him back. Honestly? No. At least this President is honest, he is a socialist Democrat; you know what you are getting with him. Unlike Bush, who played many for a fool during both of his campaigns. Of course, Obama did that too, but on a much bigger scale.
I have decided that as of today. I will removing a category on my blog’s blogroll. I did have a Far Right vs Right Voices. As of today, I removing that distinction. Way I see it, if the left wants to lump us all together, why the hell should I separate?
Commenting on this posting, obviously one of Roseanne’s fanboys:
Dude, do you have any idea of what’s going to happen to you in jail??? After 6 months you’ll be able to hide a bowling ball in your ass.
To which I responded in e-mail:
Dude, do you know how stupid you sound?
I’ve said and done worse, and NOBODY has ever been here, ever. I never, ever said, that *I* was going to do anything at all. I said She did not deserve to breathe and, “here’s hoping she ends face down in parking lot with a bullet in her head”… big difference, I never expressed intent, I only expressed my hope… Big difference, jack ass. Political incorrectness, is not against the law. We still do have a first amendment. You liberals haven’t taken that….yet.
I take it–I didnt watch at all. The self congratulations gross me out. I did of course watch the final episode of Big Love. Wow! I hope we dont have to wait too long to see more next season. Revolution is coming to Utah! Bill is coming out of the “closet.”
Seeing she does not have a problem with coming after me. I will simply say this….
Um, Rosanne dear… Could it be that you are just a bit bitter, because no one in Hollywood wants to work with your sorry butt any longer? Maybe? Possibly? I think so.
As I wrote last night on here, I did watch the Oscars. I happened to enjoy the show myself. Maybe it is because the show holds such a historical role in America life. I am a history buff, after all. After the show, I did come back to the laptop, fired up the browser, and checked my vast amount of RSS feeds that I do monitor via iGoogle. The first RSS feed that I happened to have there, was Charles Foster Johnson’s Blog, which is named little green footballs. I should point out, that the only reason it was “first”, meaning the first one on the top left, is because it was last one I had added, in like a long while —- not because I really liked the man or anything silly.
Having said all of the above, I happen to come across this article by Robert Stacy McCain this morning and I figured that it would be a good set up for relaying a bit of news. It appears that Charles Foster Johnson has finally pointed his collectivist McCarthyism Blogger guns at me. Last night, when I attempted to open Mr. Johnson’s Blog, I saw the following:
Charles Johnson McCarthyism Strikes
He even made darn sure I couldn't look at his blog. Hey Chucky, ever heard of Proxies?
Charles Foster Johnson, The Modern Day Joseph McCarthy - Collectivist Thought Control Twit!
The reason this whole amuses me so much, is the fact that I actually defended the man’s right to ban trolls from his blog. Oh, Yes, I know, I did criticize him for some of his more idiotic actions, like lying about Pamela Geller, and other such nonsense. The way I see it, if you cannot handle criticism, you have no business being in this blogosphere at all. In fact, Charles Johnson’s Blog was in my “Left Voices” Column Bloggroll for a good long while, which I did explain here. I even on one occasion did mention in a blog posting, that I thought e-mailing Charles Johnson and accusing him of Homosexuality was quite lame; Although, I will confess to taking part in some of that jesting myself on other blogs. Way I see it; I have been accused of the same thing myself and I was simply passing on the jesting that I have received myself to someone else. I also now see that Mr. Johnson is unable to take a joke.
Having written the above, I will simply say this. It really does not matter. In fact, Charles Foster Johnson does not even matter any longer. Johnson’s relevance came into question, when he turned against Pamela Geller. Charles Johnson’s Blog came into its own, after he exposed some rather lame yellow journalism by Dan Rather’s Producer on a story about President George W. Bush’s Military service. Other than that, Charles Johnson’s only other news worthy item is his Blogging against Islamic Jihad. This, quite honestly, is not nearly as pointed as it once was. In fact, there have been blog postings, which have been flagged by other Jewish Bloggers as pointedly Anti-Jewish. I do not go as far as to say Anti-Semitic, as that is a bit of an extreme charge. However, I believe Anti-Israel, and possibly Anti-Jewish is a fair charge.
The reason why this really makes me laugh is that I have criticized others before; Andrew Sullivan, Ed Morrissey at HotAir.com, Stacy McCain, Michelle Malkin, and many others; have they blocked me from viewing their Blogs? No, they have not. Because they know that, a Blog is public website and to through the trouble to ban someone from actually viewing a blog is the epitome of lame. In fact, I even considered doing the same thing, because of the attacks of the trolls on this site. However, I figured that doing that sort of thing was an overreach power on my part. My Blog is a public site and I believe everyone should be able to read it — Even if the readers do not agree — this is their personal right. I believe in diversity of opinion, unlike some liberals, like Mr. Johnson.
In conclusion, I consider this a badge of honor. It comes with the territory. It reflects more on Mr. Johnson than it does me. I pity the man; he has become his own island. For that, he has become a much poorer man.
Update: One of Chuckie’s many mindless followers asks:
Lord Chuckie Responds:
So, you see guys. It is all about control and dominance with this guy. Which is sure sign of Megalomania….or something.
Also, thanks to these guys for linking in, in the comments section. Glad to see that I am not the only person who has ran into this idiot’s lameness.
Can we turn the asshole off, at least for one night ladies?
Jeeez.
I know, it was Hollywood, but I do give those people credit, they do have talent. Their politics might be awful, but they can perform. Remember Reagan came out of Hollywood.
