Ontario GOP
reprints a Kuhl press release which claims that Eric Massa apologized to Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY-17) for remarks he made about the junket Engel led to Brazil. During a press call with Brian Tumulty of Gannett Newspapers, Engel said that Massa's comments were a "cheap shot" that "questions his fitness to serve in Congress."
The independent source for the Engel remark,
a post on Gannett Reporter Erin Kelly's blog, makes no mention of the apology, but confirms the rest of what Engel said. The Kuhl press release is not posted to his website. The Massa campaign website still carries a
critique of Kuhl's trip, and the Massa campaign issued a press release a little before noon with a dozen questions for Kuhl on the trip.
