The Florida 16th is Cursed

October 13th, 2008 by Kate

Remember Mark Foley?  The closeted gay man making sexual overtures toward underage Congressional pages while decrying homosexuality and pedophilia on the floor of the House of Representatives.  Of course, you remember him.

Well the Democrat who replace him as the Representative for Florida’s 16th District, Tim Mahoney, has been accused of having an affair with one of his staffers and then paying her to keep it quiet.  Friends of the staffer, Patricia Allen, told the AP that Mahoney also threatened to fire Allen if she ended the affair.

Allen denies any wrongdoing and has asked the House Ethics Committee to investigate.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said that an investigation should happen “immediately.”
