Eric Massa resigned today. The married congressman from NY is accused of sexually harassing a male staffer. Massa claims to be the victim of a dem conspiracy to run him out of town because he won’t vote for health care. But the congressman has no clothes.

Helpful note to the president: don’t call Senator Boxer “Babs”.
