Congressman Massa resigns, but doesn't go quietly

He is now former Congressman Eric Massa (D-NY), and he's not happy with the way he's been treated by some members of his party. Can you imagine how the media would be all over it if a Republican wasn't happy with the Republican party?

Audio from radio station WKPQ, via Breitbart:

"You cannot effectively govern this country without the consent of the governed. The entire nation has said let's rewrite the health care bill, let's find what we can agree on.

"No, no, no, no. We're going to ram this down the throats of the American people and anyone who stands in the way of doing that is going to be smeared. And they're going to be kicked out of Congress. And we're going to have people like Steny Hoyer lying in the press."

...

"They are going to ram this bill down the throats of this country, and it is going to rip this nation politically to pieces, and it will be a generation before we recover."
