I will vote against their opinion if I actually believe it will help them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well it seems <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/blogs\/dailypolitics\/2010\/03\/source-massa-wont-run.html\">the little turd is floating out of the bowl<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Eric Massa is poised to announce this afternoon that he will not seek re-election in the 29th Congressional District this fall as planned, a Democratic source confirms.<\/p>\n<p>The freshman congressman is going to make his announcement at 3 p.m., according to the source. It&#8217;s unclear if that event is taking place in the district or in Wahsington, D.C. A call to Massa&#8217;s spokesman has so far not been returned.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Massa&#8217;s office says he will be speaking with the press on a &#8220;very important&#8221; conference call at 3:30 p.m. He&#8217;s in Washington.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rumors are that he&#8217;s been accused of sexually harassing a male staff member;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>According to several House aides on both sides of the aisle, the House ethics committee has been informed of allegations that Massa, who is married with two children, sexually harassed a male staffer. <\/p>\n<p>Massa told POLITICO Wednesday afternoon that no one has brought allegations of misconduct to him. <\/p>\n<p>Asked about the sexual harassment allegations, Massa said: &#8220;When someone makes a decision to leave Congress, everybody says everything. I have health issues. I&#8217;ll talk about it [later].\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Health issues like getting a man&#8217;s belt buckle imprinted on his giant-ass forehead. I don&#8217;t care why he&#8217;s leaving, just that he&#8217;ll be gone. He was such an pompous, arrogant ritard, he&#8217;s virtually insured there will never ever be a Democrat in that seat. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your service now go the fuck away, Ric, ya little homo. <\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATED:<\/strong> COB6 emailed me that bone smuggler Massa was one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.votevets.org\/candidates?id=0017\">Vote Vets-sponsored candidates<\/a> in the last election. <a href=\"http:\/\/securingamerica.com\/node\/1283\">Wesley Clark even stumped<\/a> for him in New York. Is that egg on your face? <\/p>\n<p>No wonder dicksmith has been pushing for the repeal of DADT. <\/p>\n<p>Yup, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20100303\/ap_on_el_ho\/us_massa_retirement_2\">he announced his &#8220;retirement&#8221; <\/a>while I was writing this.
