Allow Me To Be Bipartisan

Tim Mahoney can go ahead and pack up his things at this point.

The Tim Mahoney story just keeps getting worse and worse.

First it was a settlement over an alleged affair; then it was a second alleged affair; then it was admitting to multiple affairs and now it's seedy details behind the settlement with Mahoney's former mistress [...]

The settlement was reached after Allen hired a lawyer who sent the Congressman a "demand" letter, listing specific examples of Mahoney's alleged "gross misconduct" and "stalking" including:
a) Calling Allen late in the evenings and demanding "phone sex;"
b) Demanding that Allen answer his calls or face termination;
c) Demanding that Allen attend fundraisers and "tease c-ck" to bring in more donations from the male members of the public;
d) Demanding that Allen engage in sexual conduct with another woman for his enjoyment.

Current and former staffers told ABC News the allegations contained in the "demand letter" sent to Mahoney were backed up by tape recordings of phone calls between the Congressman and Allen.


Although, I have to say, I'm not being TOTALLY bipartisan. Mahoney was a Republican right up until 2006. He was one of Rahm Emanuel's golden boys, brought in to nudge out an actual Democrat named Dave Lutrin. He was a scumbag then and he's a scumbag now. Rahm always has the best interest of the Democratic Party at heart.

P.S. I like that it took until now for the wife to file for divorce.
