Mahoney on Sex Scandal: “I Will Ride This Out”

Looks like the reality hasn’t quite sunk in yet for Tim Mahoney.

The red-faced Florida Democrat, who lost his House seat this month after admitting to at least two affairs, showed up today to a Financial Services Committee hearing today, ignoring the advice of the committee staff and even that of his own aides, reports ABCNews.com.

What’s more, Mahoney aides say he told them he wanted to meet privately with committee chair Barney Frank to offer his advice on the economic crisis.

As he left the hearing room, Mahoney told the website: “I’m still a congressman with a job to do, and I intend to ride this out.”

But one of his staff members took a different view, telling ABCNews.com: “Someone didn’t get the memo that he wasn’t re-elected.”
