Just two days after the blockbuster revelation of an office affair,
Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-FL) now faces allegations that a second affair may
amount to an abuse of power. ABC News
reports that Mahoney, who replaced disgraced Republican Mark Foley
after his sexual scandal, got millions in pork for a county while
conducting a sexual affair with one of its officials
This would be more significant than the affair exposed on Monday.
That only involved Mahoney’s own money, as far as anyone could
determine. If Mahoney spent taxpayer money to boost the career of his
paramour, that amounts to a flagrant abuse of power — exactly the kind
of corruption that Nancy Pelosi and Tim Mahoney made their biggest
issue in 2006.
The culture of corruption appears to thrive in Pelosi’s Petri dish,
and it looks like Democratic leadership knew about this for some time.
Did they intervene to block Mahoney’s manipulation of public funds?
Apparently, no.
Most ethical Congress ever? Ha!
