Rep. Tim Mahoney of Florida is facing scandal. According to ABC News, Tim Mahoney agreed to pay a $121,000 to former mistress Patricia Allen. Patricia Allen had worked as a Congressional Staffer for Tim Mahoney. When she threatened to break off the extra-marital affair, he threatened to fire her. Patricia Allen then resigned her position and sued Tim Mahoney for sexual harassment. This recent development represents a sad irony. Tim Mahoney's predecessor Mark Foley had resigned when news surfaced of his inappropriate involvement with a teenage Congressional Page.

Watches as the partyline sycophants rush to find out his party, so they can defend or chastise him.

kjac - we know he is the Democrat that replaced Foley.
Funny thing is that Pelosi and Emmanual knew about this and tried to cover it up.
Of course Nancy is all about cleaning up the image of the Congress. She has been so good at it that this Congress has had the worst ratings in the history of the ratings.
I just noticed that it doesn't give his party .... kind of strange
Not kind of strange. It is kind of typical that the media would omit this for a Democrat. Happens all of the time

From 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.
A Mahoney spokesperson would not answer questions about the alleged affair or the settlement, but said Allen resigned of her own accord and "has not received any special payment from campaign funds."
Senior Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives, including Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), the chair of the Democratic Caucus, have been working with Mahoney to keep the matter from hurting his re-election campaign, the Mahoney staffers said.
A spokesperson for Emanuel denies that account, but said Emanuel did confront Mahoney "upon hearing a rumor" about an affair in 2007 and "told him he was in public life and had a responsibility to act accordingly." The spokesperson added that it was a "private conversation" that had nothing to do with Mahoney's re-election prospects.
Emanuel's spokesperson said Emanual had not had any further contacts with Mahoney on the subject and did not know the woman involved worked on Mahoney's Congressional staff until informed by ABC News.
Mahoney was elected two years ago following the abrupt resignation of his disgraced predecessor, Republican Mark Foley, whose lewd internet messages to teenage boys and Congressional pages created a national outrage.
The affair between Mahoney and Allen began, according to the current and former staffers, in 2006 when Mahoney was campaigning for Congress against Foley, promising "a world that is safer, more moral."

Personally, I don't care who he's f***ing. but what bothers me about it is this part...
When she threatened to break off the extra-marital affair, he threatened to fire her.
Was she really that good in bed?

kjac - If he had not replaced Foley it would be more palatable.
That he was Foley's replacement is just another reason for the public to feel contempt for our Congress

And yet, even with this contempt for Congress, that's who they bring to the American people for the presidential elections.

Mahoney is not a Gov and Palin did not have sex with the Police Commish. The bimbo was not a political appointment. What is it about sexual abuse in the workplace that you do not understand?
How can you possibly make this correlation? 
Read the Article I previously posted genius - it tells about their knowledge.
I know it is not wiki genius - it is ABC news.

Oh good gravy. These two issues are so far from being related it would be laughable if it weren't so sad that a person can use sexual power over another.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely
what part of this do you have issues with?? ...Mahoney was wrong for having the affair...wrong for paying his mistress 50 k a year... but not wrong for firing her...
she will probably lose her sexual harrassment charge as the affair started before she was given the job....

Wanna bet?
The fact that he had her as a bimbo BEFORE he hired her makes it easier for a lawsuit. Quid pro quo? Sex for Job on the taxpayers account?
GH - you need a new brand of coffee.

Oh really. Is it just like rape not being rape if you were in a relationship with the rapist previously?

get a clue ....she is a bimbo... he was wrong for having the affair..wrong for giving her the job.. but in the end...she was nothing but a paid ______
your assumption mom is... that she actually did something at her job that was worth 50 K...
and btw...
just why did rape come into this thread?? 
In my opinion..Palin abused her power in firing an innocent man..that action was far worse than this.... as neither Mahoney nor Allen are innocent....
