It was a big deal when John McCain couldn't remember how many houses he had. Someone should ask Mahoney how many mistresses he has?
Apparently, no text messaging was involved so this is entirely a private matter. Let's all move on to celebrate the upcoming victory for Democrats in November.
Hours after a married congressman addressed a report that he had an affair with a former member of his campaign staff and paid her to keep quiet about, details of a purported extramarital relationship with a second woman surfaced.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.Mahoney spoke briefly to the media at PGA National Resort & Spa, reading from a prepared statement with his wife at his side. Mahoney responded to the allegations that he agreed to a $121,000 payoff to Patricia Allen and promised her a $50,000-per-year job at the company that handled his campaign advertising, as ABC News first reported Monday.The affair between Mahoney, 52, and Allen, 50, allegedly began in 2006 when he was campaigning against disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley, according to current and former staff members. Mahoney was eventually elected to replace Foley, who resigned following a sex scandal involving teenage congressional pages.A person close to the Mahoney campaign said Mahoney also was having a relationship with a high-ranking official in Martin County. The person said Mahoney was having a relationship with a 49-year-old divorcé in the engineering department and that the affair took place in 2007 while Mahoney 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.
