I haven't decided yet if he's nuts or just entertaining. I can't wait for his next interview. Every time he explains himself, his story gets more oddly scandalous.
Whoever is working on his Crisis Management team should be fired.
Or maybe just aggressively tickled...
the latest he said is he did grope a few men, but it was nothing sexual. how can someone admit to groping without the thought of sex?
Great...coffee sprayed all over the screen now!Quote:

He is covering for himself. He is also all over the place when he talks. Certifiable! :eek:
He's acting like a rat trapped in a corner.
Certifiably Bat crap crazy.
I think the trapped rat analogy is perfect, but I don't think the guy is nuts. I think he's just a slime-ball, and a stupid one at that.
When he announced that he was resigning, he claimed it was because of a likely recurrence of cancer. That sounded reasonable (and terminal): the guy was too sick to continue to do his job for 9 more months. Then it comes out that he'd been accused of sexual hanky panky. HMMMM ...
Then he claims that Rahm Emmanuel comes on to him and then threatens him (or vice versa). First this happened within 2 weeks of him coming to Washington, and then it's because he opposed the administration's health care plan.
Then yesterday, he apparently admitted to the tickling and groping on Glenn Beck's show just hours before he went on Larry King and said he never groped anybody.
Obviously, Massa's never been required to defend his bad behavior before so he's clueless on how to proceed. DOH. "That's my story and I'm sticking to it" (for more than a few hours at least) might be a place to start.
50 year old men tickling one another....
I never got over my Navy time....

LOL, just kidding
I'm just curious, if had made these alegations 2 weeks ago while still in office, would he have been taken seriously?
Most of his explanations sound plausible. A gin-n-tonic soaked New Years Eve wedding reception, and a drunken 50th birthday bash where all the guys end up dogpiling on top of the honoree.....nothing out of the ordinary in my eyes. He's even saying there are text messages with good-natured banter in them.
Here's a possibility - there's a homo in the woodpile....and it aint Massa. Maybe the accuser who is claiming sexual harrasment is themself of the lighter loafer:confused:
He's out of hte picture now. Let him fade away or use him to expose what ever BS he can that bones the non-government worker/business owner.
The problem is the right wing media will keep him around to show off, just like the left wing media keeps Palin around...Quote:

As much as I think Palin is a dolt, I'd love it if our kids were on the same soccer/hockey/baseball team. She'd liven up things.
Along those same lines, I think it would be a pisser to have work with Massa.
Sometimes, we all need a tickle.
And didn't Massa say the two were buck naked and some chest poking was involved?Quote:

Being a former military you'd think he'd know better. If they don't ask, don't tell.....
It was some kind of garbled stuff like that. The "story" just didn't make a whole lot of sense. It's like he's mad because he was accused of doing a staffer, so he's going to smear anybody and everybody he can and make up all kinds of excuses.Quote:

I bet if Massa had just resigned with the cancer explanation and left with dignity, that 95% of the people in his district wouldn't have believed any other charges against him anyway. Now that he's done the talk show circuit, though, most of his constituents probably think he's nothing but another lying, crooked pol.
So, you think every butt slap on a football/baseball field is a sexual act :rolleyes:Quote:

It's hard falling your point at times. I get the feeling you just like talking for the hell of it. Regardless of what you're saying.Quote:

Both parties hate servicemen in the ranks and found a way to manage his exit which is unfortunate for America. What happened just goes to show how the beast feeds it's own and spits out that which won't digest. I wish Mr. Massa all the best in the future and know he tried to do his best. The rest of you can make jokes and roll your eyes as you can't and won't ever understand. Have a nice day fools !!!
Then you may be able to shed some light on why he's self-destructing on national TV?Quote:
