Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-Florida, the man who took Republican Rep. Mark Foley's job in 2006 has had a scandal of his own. In 2006, Mahoney pledged to be more moral than Foley. Foley's problem was that he sent inappropriate emails to teenage males in the House Paige program. For, Mahoney, he began an affair in 2006 with a mistress. He has reportedly paid off his mistress $121,000 after she threatened to sue him when he tried to fire her a staff position.
Remember the uproar with Foley in 2006? Where is that same criticism with Mahoney in 2008? House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been trying to protect Mahoney. This could and should cost Mahoney's seat in the November election.
Below are two articles about Mahoney and his mistress:
