Hard and full of seamen

“He wakes up to Massa undoing his pants trying to snorkel him."

The erstwhile GOP hero:

[I]n conversations yesterday and today with some of Massa's Navy shipmates, it became clear that the behavior toward his subordinates that got Massa into trouble in Congress is part of pattern that dates to his time in the Navy.

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.'"
