Fired for knowing Clark - how scared are the GOP of Clark??

"But there are others. For instance, there is Eric Massa, until recently on the majority staff of the House Armed Services Committee, chaired by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.). Massa was a lifelong Republican whose first taste of politics was serving as a page to candidate Ronald Reagan during the 1976 presidential race. But before joining the committee staff, Massa had served in the armed forces, where, among other things, he was a top aide to Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) during Clark's tenure as NATO supreme commander.

The two were close, so when Clark came to Washington in early October to meet with Democratic congressional leaders at a private residence a few blocks from the Capitol, Massa walked over to say hello. But as the former comrades-in-arms greeted each other warmly on the street just outside the event--Massa never went inside, say other attendees--Republican operatives stationed nearby noticed his presence, and reported back to his staff director, Robert Rangel.

Soon after, sources tell "Who's Who," Hunter and Rangel repeatedly told Massa that, given his friendship with Clark, he could no longer work at the committee, but when reporters from a few big-name newspapers heard the story and began calling around, Hunter claimed that Massa had never actually been fired. Fed-up, Massa resigned. No one from Hunter's office was available for comment.

Contacted by WW, Massa commented, "I don't hold ill will for anybody. This is about issues, and Clark the man, and I'm going to do everything I can to get him elected."

4. Please see source of my above sited allegation

While I am pleased to join this fray, I'd like to provide the context for the above incoming:

>>I really wasn't going to syndicate this report by the Washington Monthly, because it's stomach-turning.

Bless you, Gert Clark. I hope you and Alma Powell can find time to catch up. When you get to the part about how all this came about, remember that what your tax dollars don't buy with the Patriot Act, George Bush will buy with his campaign chest. Could the candidate of "honesty and integrity" actually be funding a "Committee to Re-Elect the President" (CREEP) this early in the campaign? Or has it always existed? That said, this allegation needs more meticulous sourcing.<<

6. "Republican operatives stationed nearby noticed his presence"

in front of a private home where only Democrats had been invited? What the hell were the operatives doing there in the first place--valet parking? If I was the owner of that home, I'd check for listening devices.
