Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.) told a New York radio station that the ethics investigation against him — Massa is alleged to have sexually harassed a male staffer — is based on the party leadership’s desire to get him out of Congress before the health care vote. He says he could “fix” it by rescinding his resignation:
Responding to a caller to his weekly radio show on WKPQ Power 105 FM, a recording of which was made available via the Web site of local station 13 WHAM-TV, Massa said: “I’m not going to be a Congressman as of 5 o’clock [Monday] afternoon. The only way to stop that is for me to rescind my resignation. That’s the only way to stop it. And the only way that’s going to happen is if this becomes a national story.”
On the other hand, Massa doesn’t seem very eager to remain under the jurisdiction of the House Ethics Committee.
UPDATE: That didn’t last long.

Massa is now confirming that he will resign as scheduled.

This sounds like a man who is losing it. Still, I can't disgree about the spawn remark.

As an attorney (don't write me off yet) I look at Rep. Massa's comments from this prospective - Why would he make this stuff up. You know - what was his motive - revenge? fear for our country? self preservation? Motive isn't something we attorneys have to prove, but we know all too well that jurors ponder it.
I think the answer is all of the above - with the caveat that - bottom line - he, like many of us recovering liberals, realize his partyhas been corrupted and it breaks his heart.
It is not a Republican v. Democrat thing - it's an American v. Progressive thing. I couldn't get through his phone at the White House, but I faxed a letter to him asking him to help save America by resinding his resignation. Fax number 202-226-6599.

Then, by all means he should do so, and deny Nancy, Harry and the One, the vote.

If Massa isn't guilty of anything, he shouldn't resign.
