Who did Massa share his apartment with?
Just curious.

He said when he was "tickling" the guy, that four others jumped on him. Were they all lathered up like something out of Caligula?

Somebody has to ask. :-)

1. 5 of his staffers
Report: Massa Lived With Five Staffers In Small D.C. Rowhouse
Justin Elliott | March 10, 2010, 10:35AM

In what appears to have been a highly unorthodox living situation for a member of Congress, former Rep. Eric Massa shared a small Washington townhouse with five of his staff members, a local New York newspaper reported last year.

As the revelations about Massa's relationship with his staff continue to stream in, this detail from a "day in the life" profile in the Oct. 9, 2009, Hornell Evening Tribune is sure to raise eyebrows:

Occasionally, that's after he rolls out of bed at a small, two-story rowhouse on Washington's E Street - a townhouse shared with five of his staff members.
"I won't pay anyone more than the median salary of a college graduate in the district," Massa said, which allows him to fund 22 staff members, compared with some congressional staffs of seven or eight at much higher pay rates.

The downside, Massa said, is that the deal forces concessions in living arrangements, namely sharing the rowhouse with five staffers.

2. Geez... poor staffers--never able to "escape" the boss
Call me naive' but I do think, given the high cost of close in housing in DC that this is not quite as unusual as implied.

4. roommates in DC is a common practice
however, Rep's sharing a house with staffers seems to be unusual.

3. He said he has to re-unite with is wife
and family. He said he has been working long hours for years. Makes me suspect living a gay lifestyle in a hidden manner. I just hope he gets free and gets healing - his whole family. I bet they'll love him no matter what.
