So did the media demand Massa resign? And it could be argued that the White House helped fuel the flames on the Massa situation. And since the House ethics committee has been looking into his behavior for over a year and only now we hear anything about it how can you cry unfair? It would be easier to make the case that the White House helped force him out, which would be a way bigger story, than to show this as a conservative inconsistency.
I think a lot of conservatives have been trying to sort out who did what to who and now that he's out are not too concerned with wasting a lot more time on him. Now we hear about more allegations that Pelosi & the ethics committee did know of some other issues and conflicts of interest that the public is just learning about. If anything looks to me like they threw Massa under the bus to get 1 more yes vote on Obama-Care and maybe hoped as a bonus everybody would be talking about him instead of the known Congressional bribes & outright corruption.
