Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-Fla.) is finding himself in an October sex scandal, about two years after his GOP predecessor Mark Foley was forced to step down in the wake of his own personal indiscretions.
ABC News is reporting that Mahoney agreed to pay a $121,000 settlement to a former mistress who worked on his Congressional and campaign staff since his 2006 campaign.
The story also reveals that Mahoney promised her a job at the consulting firm that handles his campaigns media production.

Rush is covering this now. I’d say he was reading our threads, but if so, he’d have been talking about “Obama-Glo” for the entire first hour.

Here we go. One dem down, one seat back. I read somewhere a PA district now occupied by a D is also strong leaning towards R.

Is that the Congressman and his wife - or is that his mistress?

Isn't a mistress supposed to be an attractive woman young enough to be the philanderer's daughter?
His mistress looks older than he is and she's wearing Tammy Faye Bakker makeup to boot.

So how did the hush money go, and who knew about it? You know that Peloser had to know ... I note they say no campaign funds were used in the payoff ... So whose funds were used?
Peloser should step down now.

“Her friends say she told them Mahoney threatened that ending the relationship could cost her the job.
“You work at my pleasure,” Congressman Mahoney told Allen on a January 20, 2008 telephone call that was recorded and played for Mahoney staffers. ABC News was provided a copy.”
That’s just a textbook example of sexual harassment in the workplace. Wonder if Congress had the foresight to exempt themselves from those laws (they are exempt from some)?
Like everyone else, waiting to see how the MSM will handle this scandal which is far worse than the misbehavior of Foley, who this scumbag replaced using the slogan:
“Restoring America’s Values Begins at Home.”

Well, at the very least, the democrats know how to handle this. They told the GOP daily how to handle Foley. I'm sure they can remember.

GUILTY!
He paid $121,000 for that? Even Spitzer wasn't that dumb.
