Tim Mahoney's busy love life

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Hours after a married congressman addressed a report that he had an affair with a former aide and paid her to keep quiet about it, details of a purported tryst with a second woman surfaced.

Though Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney did not directly mention allegations first reported by ABC News that he had been involved with the former aide, he issued a statement apologizing to his family but denying he'd done anything illegal. Later Tuesday, a person close to his campaign told the Associated Press that Mahoney also was having an affair with a second woman around the same time.

On Tuesday night, a person close to the Mahoney campaign told the AP that Mahoney also was having a relationship with a high-ranking official in Martin County in his Florida district around the same time of the purported affair with the former aid.The person close to the campaign spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to openly discuss Mahoney's private life.

The person said Mahoney was having the relationship with the official in 2007 while he also was lobbying the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a $3.4 million reimbursement for Martin County for damage caused by hurricanes in 2004. FEMA approved the money late last year.

This is why inflation is always worrisome. It leads inevitably to depression.

Tim has been a bad boy just like the illegal sexual encounters of Republican U.S. Senator Craig(R) and U.S. Senator Vittner(R). Both of whom are still, unbelievably, still in the Senate.

I dare any so called family values Republican to cast stones at Mahoney, when their own Presidential candidate is an admitted adulterer.

not the point. Adolph Hitler could have run as a Democrat for that seat and won after the Foley scandal. 2 years in and they've already blown it...

Once is not enough !
Does boinking staffers come before or after boinking constituents?
This is all too Clintonesque.

He did a bad thing. Just like John McCain. I won't endorse an adultereer for President. Would you???

Y - A - W - N ....

C'mon, Adam. Don't you have something interesting to write about?

"a person close to his campaign told the Associated Press that Mahoney also was having an affair with a second woman around the same time."

I just love that statement! And you pinheads thinks that Republicans could never infiltrate you Party and do damage. There’s a reason you numbskulls always lose!

Big deal. I know Mahoney was wrong and he probably should resign, but partof me wants him to stay in the House and win reelection just to piss off the Republicans!

Cheating on his wife isn't going to get him into trouble. It's using campaign funds as a payoff that's going to get the FBI's interest.

They are calling him "Mahorney"

Don't let your meat loaf!

All I wanna know is what kind of vitamins is he taking?

Until they officially decide - and therefore charge - him with wrongdoing regarding his funds, I fail to see how is love life effects his job. His marriage is not and should not be a concern to people.

Wasn't the previous Rep into the youg pages? Wasn't he a Republican?

Meant "Young"

Yes he was into young male pages and he was a "family values" guy who was supported by the religious extremeist

If this was a republican, the democrats would be calling for his castration. How come when it is a republican, there is outrage and when it is a democrat it is "yawn" business as usual? Typical democrat politician, use woman as a sex toy and then dump her. Speaking of pages, when Barney Franks and Stubbs were doing male employees, it was business as usual.

Tim's a dawg

So Mahoney was cheating on his mistress?

News: F.B.I. is not investigating because his ex-mistress was being paid by our tax dollars.
