Another Congressional Sex Scandal

For those of you who haven’t heard, Florida Democratic Representative Tim Mahoney has gotten himself into a bit of trouble. It seems that he had an extramarital affair with a staffer, paid her $121,000 not to say anything and then fired her. Shockingly, his constituents are not thrilled. Interestingly enough, Rep. Mahoney, who happens to represent my home town of Port St. Lucie, only won his seat following revelations that former Congressman Mark Foley (R-FL) sent sexually explicit emails to underage pages. Hmmm…

It’s so amazing to me that public figures still think they can get away with having this stuff. I mean, come on guys! Apparently, their memories are the first to go when their blood starts flowing south. I’m sorry to disappoint, but the days of oval-office rendezvous with Hollywood starlets is over. Heck, even Clinton got caught, and Lewinsky was no Marilyn Monroe! Keep it your pants guys!
