Breaking news from ABC. Florida Congressman Tim Mahoney, who ousted child predator Mark Foley in 2006, is mired in a scandal.
From ABC:
West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL), whose predecessor resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.The affair between Congressman Tim Mahoney and Patricia Allen began, according to current and former staffers, in 2006 when Mahoney was campaigning for Congress against Foley, promising "a world that is safer, more moral."
(ABC News)Mahoney, who is married, also promised the woman, Patricia Allen, a $50,000 a year job for two years at the agency that handles his campaign advertising, the staffers said.

Mahoney was already in a tough race, and his campaign was heavily focused on "faith and family." This will all but certainly hand the election to his opponent.
I'm tired of Democratic politicians putting their libido ahead of their party. They should know the consequences of their actions, and if they decide that an affair is more important than the Democratic Party, they need to leave politics.
Fuck you, Tim Mahoney.
