And now Engel's office isn't talking. So either one of Engel's staffers miscommunicated something to him, or Massa is lying about why he called. The weight of evidence is for the former explanation, for one simple reason: Massa hasn't taken anything back. He's not apologetic or chastened by what he said.Rottenchesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05419735121148289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021181650842771170.post-20548649337763277702007-12-07T14:19:00.000-05:002007-12-07T14:19:00.000-05:00I just read your post on this, and Kuhl is not sug...I just read your post on this, and Kuhl is not suggesting that he knows what Massa intended to do. Instead, Kuhl is saying that Engel's office received a call from Massa, which stated something along the lines of "This is Eric Massa, and I'm calling so I can apologize to Eliot Engel," and then Engel's office relayed that information to Kuhl.The Ontario Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04971916682904252224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9021181650842771170.post-7312555542723646742007-12-07T08:21:00.000-05:002007-12-07T08:21:00.000-05:00The big question here is how Kuhl knew that Massa ...The big question here is how Kuhl knew that Massa was calling Engel's office to apologize.
