(POL) What the hell is in the water in Florida, Viagra?
House to investigate lawmaker for alleged affair, ethics lapse - CNN.com
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Florida Democratic Rep. Tim Mahoney called on the House ethics committee to investigate his own behavior after ABC News reported that he paid a former staffer who was also his mistress $121,000 to avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit. Mahoney, who is married, did not directly address the ABC report, but said in a written statement, "I was notified this afternoon about a story that ran on ABC News' web site reporting allegations about a former employee. While these allegations are based on hearsay, I believe that my constituents need a full accounting. "As such, I have requested the House ethics committee to review these allegations. I am confident that when the facts are presented that I will be vindicated." The ABC story said Mahoney began an affair with Patricia Allen during his campaign in 2006. Allen was later hired to work for Mahoney's Florida congressional office. In addition to the $121,000 legal settlement, the story reports that Mahoney secured Allen a job at the consulting firm that handles his campaign commercials. A spokesman in Mahoney's campaign office in Florida declined to answer any questions regarding the allegations in the ABC report. Mahoney's West Palm Beach area congressional seat was formerly held by Republican Mark Foley, who resigned in late 2006 after his own sex scandal involving inappropriate communication with male House pages. "The irony is not lost on any of us," a senior Democratic operative said of the allegations against Mahoney.

That might be a stiff rap to beat.

We shouldn't judge these allegations until the oral arguments have been taped.
