Details on Mahoney Affair Get Seedier
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.
ABCNews.com reports that documents show Mahoney asked Patricia Allen, his former mistress and staffer to engage in phone sex and perform as a "tease c-ck" for big donors.
From ABCNews.com:
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.













This guy is extraordinarily douchie.

Why hasn't he quit yet? Enough already!
Guess Dems are going to lose 1 seat this election. Good thing they'll probably pick up 25-30 others. :)

Shouldn't that read "documents allege"?
And, by the way, I believe "c-cktease" is the proper (if you will) term.
Let's wait and see how this all cooks out before we throw the guy under the bus. He's a Democrat and this scandal is astonishingly timed - so close to a national election, and in a period which Republican misbehavior as undercover sex maniacs, perverts and freaky email stalkers has become so commonplace.
If he pulled rank to pressure her into sex acts, stamp him "bastard" and throw the book at him. But, right now, there is no hard evidence (so to speak) he did anything.

But the point is, Mahoney is not a real Democrat. He was a lifelong Republican who was parachuted into the district by Rahm Emanuel after an alleged party switch because he could self-finance.
A lot of real local Democrats were very unhappy about this, and even more so now.
Heck, Mahoney couldn't even bring himself to endorse Obama. And he votes with Republicans more than Dems.

interesting--I hope TPM will run with that angle (though I doubt it)
He does seem like a 'Rahm Emmanuel Democrat' to me!

It's getting kinda pornographic to read about this guy. If it gets any worse, TPM needs to ban him!

too bad both sides of the isle are so shady and so protective of their own kind that there is no way they will protect and serve "We the People"!
When iformation comes to the Ethics Committe it should be handled the same way according to written policy for ALL representatives, independent of which party.
Then, consequences should be aggressive, considering those clowns are affecting the entire country. Those consequences should also be the same for both parties...
Won't happen though, will it...
Too bad both sides are scum ridden...

Have you anything substantive to add other than cliched -- and false -- excuses to not vote?
I mean, aside from showing yourself to be an uninformed jackass?

It would be a good use of a bus or two to run over this guy a few times.
Republicans hurt themselves by sticking up for scum. Why would we?
