Ha wow. Politico says he won't seek reelection under allegations that he sexually harassed a male staffer. I have no idea where that would have come from, he didn't seem to me (and I was a male staffer at one point) like that is anything he would be capable of.

As far as political consequences, Tom Reed, his Republican challenger, is a weak candidate at best. With Massa out of the race that leaves the Republicans with basically free reign to introduce a stronger challenger, whether that be State Senator George Winner or even our own Maggie Brooks. If it were Maggie, that would be fantastic for Monroe County, as it basically guarantees that a Democrat takes the County Executive Seat.

Fun stuff.

They're also talking about State Senator Kathy Young and Assemblyman Brian Kolb as possible Republican primary candidates.

Yesterday, I felt a twinge of nostalgia for Pataki.

Sat. morning: I feel very sad about this whole thing. What is going on? Is morality different now? AND Do we believe that a person is inocent until proven guilty?

I'm beginning to get the impression that it was an abusive language against a staffer rather than putting the moves on a staffer.
