Seinfeld, SNL and Massa

Seinfeld, SNL and Massa

Former Congressman Eric Massa, who left Congress under a cloud, hoping to head off an investigation into charges that he sexually harassed male members of his staff, is about to bow into news oblivion. Mr. Massa's chosen method of departure, his  twisted trail of changing stories, his attempt to place the fault and the blame,  and the responsibility, for his failures on others, his feeble attempts for revenge,  only added to his public embarrassment and humiliation. Saturday Night Live (SNL), that observer of and commentator on the foibles of the powerful and of the not so powerful of our times, has weighed in on ex-Congressman Massa and on his weird departure.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld  joined SNL regular Seth Meyers in a comedy sketch,  called  "Really!?! With Seth And Jerry", that lampooned Mr. Massa, and the ever-growing list of things he said, that he did with his staff, that were not gay or even "sexual". Mr  Seinfeld: asked the question that was on the minds of many who listened to Mr. Massa's explanations, on the Glenn Beck and Larry King shows, for/of  his non sexual deeds with male staffers -- Seinfeld asked: "Why do I have the feeling that Massa massages were followed by Massa-bations?"
