Tim Mahoney, who only won his Congressional seat because Mark Foley's name was still on the ballot, is already in danger of losing it because of his own boneheaded sex scandal...
As we reported earlier, Democratic Rep. Tim Mahoney, who defeated "Mark Foley" (another Republican would have taken Foley's seat had folen been re-elected) in 2006, is rumored to have cheated on his wife on multiple occasions... with a staff member. Oh, but it gets way better...
1) Mahoney, a married man, was campaigning on an ethics platform in 2006 when he met Patricia Allen and began having an affair with her.
2) When Allen recently discovered that Mahoney was having sex with other women (other than his wife, that is), she threatened to sue his dumb ass.
3) Mahoney agreed to pay the woman $121,000 to go away. Plus, he threw in a guarantee of two years of a $50,000 annual salary at an ad agency that was involved in his campaign.
4) When all this hit the press, Mahoney staffers denied it and said Allen resigned "of her own accord." Of course, they didn't comment on the allegations, all of which are (as yet) unproven.
Thanks a lot, Tim... Foley handed us the only chance we may ever have of turning that seat blue and you fumbled...
