Nice use of the "cancer" card. And way to keep a smile on your face the whole time you are discussing your attempts soliciting sex from another man. If you were not a politician, I might be shocked.

You think he would give it all up for a few off color jokes? Come on...

We still dont really know what the accusation is. What exactly is "salty language"? Could this be (not excusing it of course) something to the likes of going to an office party and making a few sexually explicit jokes, maybe saying to these male staffers " look at the rack on that new intern of ours" or possibly in conversation suggesting that the male staffers were gay in some way, or did he say in essence all the sexual things that he wanted to do with them? There are many different levels of sexual harassment. Granted if conversation in a workplace makes someone uncomfortable or embarrassed it is classified as sexual harassment, If someone says sleep with me and you can have a promotion but if you dont someone else with... that is also under the big blanket of sexual harassment. So what did he do tell a bad joke? Did have a couple of drinks one night and pinch a secratary's butt or grab someones crotch? Although I figured there was more to it than he was just sick... no one has said on which end of the sexual harassment spectrum the allegations lie.

Well as a Navy man, Massa might have been confused when his subordinates asked to use the 'HEAD'.

Perhaps the male staffer was unsure on the definition of 'seamen'. Maybe Massa should've spoke of naval personnel instead.

Oops, the plot thickens! Guess the rumour has moved into a new category.

PS. Aruba, you have never proven me wrong, not once, not now, not ever.

ALLEGATION: An allegation (also called adduction) is a claim of a fact by a party in a pleading, which the party claims to be able to prove. Allegations remain assertions without proof, until they can be proved. FROM THE ARTICLE: As to Complaints & Allegations: First and foremost, Racalto insists that Rep. Massa has never been contacted by the House Ethics Committee. On Monday, Racalto says he reached out to the Ethics Committee to see if it had any information concerning allegations or complaints against Rep. Massa. “I’ve asked for a formal complaint, and they’ve told me they don’t have one,” Racalto said. “I’d be happy to comment on the complaint if there is one.” Racalto said that the law states after 19 days the committee has to produce a complaint if substantiated. (Writer’s note: I will attempt to independently verify this Thursday.) Wednesday night, the Associated Press reports that House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claims to have received a report “the week of Feb. 8” about allegations by a staff member in Rep. Eric Massa’s office. With that in mind, the 19-day window could still be open as I understand it; once again I’ll try to learn more about this Thursday.

Rumor might work in this regard except that currently there is an investigation, from a bi-partisan group, into accusations against Massa. Steny Hoyer has used the word allegation as opposed to rumor. Why would someone as close the situation as Steny is, use the word allegation as opposed to rumour?
