Scandal brews in scandal-prone FL district

Right backatcha Democrats!

Tim Mahoney, the congressman who won Mark Foley's seat, (Foley was the guy voted out after the page non-sex sex scandal in 2006) was caught having an affair with a former staffer that he fired and paid hush money to cover it up. Better than that, it appears likely that Rahm Emanuel helped Mahoney hush it up so it wouldn't get out before election day. Republicans were bashed for hushing up Foley's scandal, so this is a particularly amusing scandal. Plus it's great to get back to the good ole' days where sex scandals involve actual sex.

  • So, the moral ground is pretty shaky for that side as well?  I am not sure he will be leaving---monetary corruption is not as frowned upon, it seems ::coughJeffersoncough::

  • And this is why I love Wonkette. Yeah, it's liberal, but they excoriate Dems that do stupid shit. Some gems from their take on it:

    The man on the left is Democratic Congressman Tim Mahoney of Florida, famous for ousting perhaps the greatest Cocktoberist of all, gay child-fucker Mark Foley, in 2006. Mahoney defeated Mark Foley with a brilliant platform of being a living human who was not Mark Foley.

    ....

    Pat later cut off the affair after hearing that Mahoney was *** other creatures in Washington, such as giraffes and tortoises and lobsters and kangaroos. Any reasonable person would be furious to hear that the man you?re sleeping with could very well have Lobster AIDS, Marsupial Gonorrhea or ?Tort-Warts.?

    ...

    With this sterling news, the Republican party will win a total of one (1) race against incumbent Democrats in the totality of 2008 federal government elections. They will lose it again in 2010, however, when Mahoney?s replacement is caught in a bondage-themed threesome, at T.G.I. Friday?s, with Charlie Crist and his new ?wife,? who is Pat.
