Eric Massa - The Elephant in the Room

I will be the first to admit that the Republicans are not the only sleezebags around. We Democrats have our full share as well and right now the biggest one would seem to be Representative Eric Massa. Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard about this jerk who groped one of his male staff members. That would be sexual harassment in the business world and would result in prompt termination.

Not so in politics. Here this kind of thing becomes political theater and so Massa makes a big deal about resigning because of health reasons. The theater continues with an insane interview with Massa on Glen Beck's show.

Many have called it a train wreck and I think that is being kind. First, Massa is a complete idiot to go on that show in the first place, much less as the accused in a sexual harassment scandal, much less in a gay sex scandal! Second, Beck behaving true to form, was a jerk and made great sport of Massa, getting him to say lots of juicy sound bites that will no doubt be played back for years to come.

So there it is, the elephant in the room that many Dems are reluctant to talk about. Well, talk about it and get the creep out of the House!
