Do Ask. Do Tell.

The Atlantic's Joshua Green:  According to Peter Clarke, a Navy shipmate, Massa was notorious for making unwanted advances toward subordinates. He tells the story of his friend Stuart Borsch, with whom Massa shared a hotel room while on leave during the first Gulf War. "Stuart's at the edge of the bed," Clarke says Borsch told him at the time, "and [Massa] starts massaging him. Massa said, 'You'll have to get one of my special massages.' He called them 'Massa Massages.'" Ron Moss, a Navy shipmate and Borsch's roommate, confirmed that Borsch told him this story at the time..... Clarke says that Massa's roommate, Tom Maxfield, was also assaulted. "Tom lived on upper bunk," Clarke say. "When you're on ship, you're almost exhausted 24-7. So a lot of times you sleep with your uniform on. Tom and Massa shared a stateroom together. Massa climbed up on the top of his bunk, which is hard to do--you never crawl up on somebody else's bunk. He wakes up to Massa undoing his pants trying to snorkel him."
 
Wash Post:  Nancy Pelosi knew in October  "The guy's a freak" says a friend of one of Massa's ex-staffers to the NYDN
 
Somebody should ask former Dem presidential candidate General Wesley Clark about Massa.  Massa was an aide to Clark during his Navy career...

Winner:  Glenn Beck.  Even MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Scarborough conceded Beck did "very, very well" in his hour-long Massa interview.  MSNBC talking head and "Mad Man" Donny Deutsch admitted Beck "actually helped his brand a lot."

    How come no one has been playing the Village People's "In The Navy" song to accompany this story?

  5. Clark has refused comment to the Wash Post on Massa's tenure as Clark's "special assistant."
