Eric Massa...Where They Do That At?

Huh? There is reality. And then the blue pill Massa took.

Eric Massa…

I have just one question for you that the rest of my reasoning will be based on…

“Where They Do That At?”

Mr. Massa has recently been in the news for ethics investigations into allegations that he sexually harassed a male aide.

After his resignation last week due to embarrassment recurrence of cancer, he comes out on the radio with this:

Representative Eric J. Massa…charged in a radio interview over the weekend that Democratic Party leaders were behind an effort to drive him out of office and that the White House chief of staff was the “son of the devil’s spawn.”

I read this and I was like, huh?

So your resignation was a forced moved because you staunchly opposed the costly health care bill in the House?

You sure this resignation was not tied just a bit to that whole sexual harassment thing?

I mean to sum up his radio show – from what I can gather – Massa conveyed that yeah, he said something inappropriate to the boy, but the real story is about how he was steamrolled by mean ole Rahm!

It’s like he threw in a quick confession on the radio that he indeed acted inappropriately, but tried to play it down as though everyone jokes around about having sexual relations with the people they work with.  Meanwhile he tried to make an opportunity out of the contentious debate surrounding the current health care debate and the recent focus on the numbers game of votes in the House.

Hmmm, trying to refocus the media’s attention much?

I think this is a poor attempt to exonerate oneself by implicating others, in my opinion.  Even though he admitted to being inappropriate to this male aide on the radio show, it seems like he intentionally dismissed the act as minute and even commonplace, in order to move on to what was more egregious – apparently that happens to be overbearing Dems that like to have naked arguments in the shower over health care bills.

How unacceptable! [end sarcasm]

Oh and also how seemingly convenient that Rahm’s “aggressive political manuveuring” coincides with the resignation which conveniently followed those ethics charges.

It looks like the strategy to avoid facing consequences, if the sexual harassment accusation proves true, are as follows -

1. Deny
2. Resign
3. Downplay
4. Scapegoat

I have a feeling, a feeling as real as the uncomfortable feeling Massa’s aide may have felt when he had his hair tussled, that this might be the current Massa strategy.

I don’t doubt the Dems are gunning for those votes on health care.  But this effort is mutually exclusive from the plight of a junior representative from NY.

Sorry Massa.

I will have to respectfully decline what you are trying to sell the public.

Playing politics with politics.  Muy interesante.
