Eric Massa's statement is that he has terminal cancer

[malaise]

and is retiring, but now there's a sexual harassment charge against male staffers.
WTF is this about New York DUers. Young Russert says this is the tip of the iceberg.

Discussion on Ed Shultz.

2. I don't

know..I've been asking myelf that same question. This is the first I've heard about Eric Massa.

Edit..I misread your statement so now we're on the same page.

3. Funny that is is the ones that want real HCR they start rumours about. The man has cancer.

4. "Young Russert's" segment was very strange.

He kept smirking, reporting innuendo, heresay, gossip, from unidentified sources. Just like dear old dad. Just like ole Unkle KKKarl.

Then he went on to report that some unidentified Blue Dogs said they basically wouldn't be caught dead supporting a rep from Harlem like Charlie Rangel.


It was worthless as news, but got the thug talking points out there, didn't it?

7. He has the maturity of a liquored up 20 yo frat rat...

I can't listen to him. I know Ed has no choice but to use him, but ugggh

[malaise]

8. I detest the little 'wet behind the ears' brat

I'm betting that he won't ever learn how to apply for a job but will pretend to be speaking for 'every man. Some hacks have all the luck.

5. link...non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Democratic Rep. Eric Massa has decided against seeking re-election, creating an open seat in a very competitive New York congressional district.

Massa, a freshman congressman from western New York, told reporters Wednesday that he was retiring for health reasons. He has previously been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

'This last December I underwent my third major cancer reoccurrence scare," he said on a conference call, adding that he had kept the episode private to all but his close family.

"It was a very intense and personal experience," one that made him realize that he needs to alter his lifestyle, Massa said.. "It is therefore only fair and right that I announce today that I will not seek re-election to this office."

Massa did not take any questions from reporters. He denied that his decision had anything to do with scandal.
