New developments in the case of the right-wing's latest hero:
Former Rep. Eric Massa has been under investigation for allegations that he groped multiple male staffers working in his office, according to three sources familiar with the probe.
The allegations surrounding the New York Democrat date back at least a year, and involve "a pattern of behavior and physical harassment," according to one source. The new claims of alleged groping contradict statements by Massa, who resigned his office on Monday after it became public that he was the subject of a House ethics committee investigation for possible harassment.
Massa had said that the allegations were limited to his use of "salty language" with his staff. He apologized for making some inappropriate comments and argued he was being unfairly villified.
Yikes. It's almost makes you think he won't show up as scheduled for Glenn Beck's program, because even Beck won't be able to ignore these sorts of allegations without damaging his credibility with Fox viewers.
More importantly, it underscores the fact that there is no connection between Eric Massa's health care vote and his resignation. Remember, 39 House Democrats voted no on reform. Massa is the only one of them to resign. It's not because he voted no.
