Rotten has some funny stuff from Massa’s press conference yesterday. Eric had a lot to say about Randy’s Brazilian vacation:

A reporter (I think it was Joe Dunning of the Corning Leader), asked if he saw any value in the trip whatsoever:

Massa: Absolutely not. What is the connection between the 29th Congressional District and this trip? Randy Kuhl will say it is to talk about ethanol production. Like I said, there’s a state called Iowa. It’s very close. Arguably, it’s cold, and not very comfortable. There aren’t a lot of five-star hotels. I’ve been to Brazil. Trust me, there’s nothing in Rio that connects to New York State. [I read in the Washington Post that] Randy Kuhl is going to see waterfalls. There’s a place called Niagara…

For reference, Niagara is pictured on the left, while Iguazu Falls in Brazil — which Randy is purportedly visiting, perhaps even as we speak — is on the right.
