Mr. Bruno, As an attorney, I would think you would pay closer attention to the facts. Massa said nothing about resigning but merely that he did not intend to seek re-election. In fact if you listen to the video you yourself posted, a reporter shouts out the question "do you have any plans to resign?" He resigned Mar 5. Is it possible that you were motivated to overlook this small detail because your law practice will benefit from healthcare reform that doesnt include tort reform?

@move4 I didn't say anything about "resigning". The words I used were "retire after his first term". I was visiting my congressman whose office happens to be next to Massa's in Longworth when I stumbled upon this announcement. Don't read something more into it please.

Oh I see. You mean I should ignore the title of your YouTube posting. ... "Eric Massa resignation statement March 3, 2010"?

sexual harrassment from a Democrat? I refuse to believe it.

Thats the best you can do Mr. Bruno? The media have used this kind of subtle timeline deception to further discredit Massa and deflect from the core issue he raised. Massas personal issues aside, hes dead on when he says the votes of our elected officials are being hijacked by small men with massive egos and too much power or, are being sold outright to the highest bidder. You're profession has consistently been the highest bidder so youll have to forgive me if I think you disingenuous.

He said that he is a cancer surviver that can no longer fight the political battles everyday.
