Nothing is going to come of this.
Sorry.

Sorry.
Assuming Massa had a rep of groping grown men, what's the issue? I realize the GOP is desperate to do anything possible to gain their power back but I don't see the big deal.
The big deal is, apparently, that Pelosi may have broken Senate ethics rules by burying the allegations until it was politically expedient to dispose of Massa.
That's the big deal.
Oh, and I don't see the GOP as desperate right now. They're not the ones attempting to pass unpopular legislation uncons utionally.
So what would happen to her?
Nothing.
Passed 404-2. Two republicans voted against it.
The Dems must be quaking in their boots.
A true victory for bipartisanship.
they must be gay.
"I don't see the big deal."
Since when do Repugs need a Big Deal to make a Big Deal of witch-hunting Dems.
After 15 years, a judge yesterday ruled the Repug witch-hunt about those Hillary Clinton folders had no substance and killed the case. Another Repug Big Deal was totally fabricated, hyped, and went nowhere.
If Pelosi knew about this since October of '09 and did nothing until, of course, Massa refused to tow the party line on Obamacare...she should be quaking in her boots.
Disgraced ex-Rep. Eric Massa's long trail of bizarre behavior includes home shared with staffers
Massa's history in the Navy let to him being a little free with his hands, he said it himself. You guys can't tell me you've never been tickled by a Congressman until you're blue in the face.
BIG DEAL. MOVE ON. We have better things to spend our resources on.
This issue, now, is, "what did the Democrat leadership know and when did they know it?"
this is the dem's mo. they knew about foley months before they said anything.
omg. did the Dems know that he touched other men and when did they know it? That's what this bull is about? lol
That's about as stupid as the people asking "did the Bush Administration know the yellow cake uranium reports were false and when?" Knowing the answers won't change anything NOW unless you plan to hold people accountable for the Iraq War. We need to move on and stop this bull squandering of resources on stuff like closest gay congress people.
I'm still trying to figure out what Pelosi has to worry about. THe guy was fondling other guys... even if Pelosi kew about it who cares? Yoni seems to put 2 + 2 to get 5 all of the time but we are all used to it by now....
Okay, George, I'll speak slower.
There are ethics rules related to time frames between when the leadership is notified of an ethics problem and when it is referred to the Ethics Committee. Apparently, Pelosi violated those rules when she failed to report Massa back in October.
If she weren't worried, why is she tap-dancing around when she found out?
By the way, Democrats thought it was a big deal in the Foley case. Read up.
what ethics problems yoni? wasn't foley hitting on the Congressional pages.. teenagers?...and the GOP knew about it long before? Maybe you should have read up on it.
Yes, and House Democrats refused to drop the investigation after Foley retired because of the very reason House Republicans are citing now.
Are you really that dense?
The Foley investigation became about what Republican leaders knew and when they knew it. Why should Democrats be treated differently?
who did massa touch? who did foley touch? is one situation different from the other? the republicans paid for it because foley hit on male teenagers! are you that dense to not realize that?
I don't think the ethics rules under which the Republicans are seeking an investigation make that distinction. They are concerned with the timing of when leadership was notified and when they referred an ethics violation to the Committee.
Like I said, if it weren't a big deal, Pelosi wouldn't be tap-dancing.
Frankly, I don't care...I just hope it gives her more heartburn than she already has.
It's good entertainment.
What I can't believe is what a FRAUD D.A.D.T. is.
I guess if you're an officer, you can attempt sodomy on a sleeping subordinate and still keep your job and get your pension. God help you if you're an enlisted Arabic translator, though.
In the Navy!!Clarke says that Massa's roommate, Tom Maxfield, was also assaulted. "Tom lived on upper bunk," Clarke say. "When you're on ship, you're almost exhausted 24-7. So a lot of times you sleep with your uniform on. Tom and Massa shared a stateroom together. Massa climbed up on the top of his bunk, which is hard to do--you never crawl up on somebody else's bunk. He wakes up to Massa undoing his pants trying to snorkel him." Ron Moss also confirmed hearing this story from Maxfield. Maxfield did not return calls and messages left for him--I'll update if he does.
I forget. How old were these former aides? The age of consent in DC was 16, and still might be. This was after their employment.
Now don't get me wrong, I am disgusted by Foley, but what was wrong or illegal? Lefties are all for same sex relationships. Doesn't this apply to republicans as well, or is it reserved for democrats?
What's wrong with hitting on teenagers that work for you? Really? Is this the battle you want to fight?
