Democratic Rep. Mahoney Admits “Multiple Affairs”
Democratic Representative Tim Mahoney admitted Friday that he had more than one affair, but denied he had broken the law (in order to cover up his adultery).
The shameless Representative from Florida said that one of the affairs begun at the very moment he was running on a family values platform in order to oust disgraced Republican Congressman Mark Foley.
Mahoney proceeded to apologize to his wife, children and constituents. At the same time, however, he inexplicably said he was not a hypocrite.
“I can understand why people would feel that way and for those people, all I can say is, ‘I’m sorry I let you down,’” Mahoney said.
When reporters asked how many affairs Mahoney had exactly had, he refused to answer. “You’re asking me over a lifetime? I’m just saying I’ve been unfaithful and I’m sorry for that,” he said instead.
Mahoney is not only accused of having affairs, but also of possibly breaking the law. The FBI has opened an investigation in order to see whether he abused his power and influence to help his mistresses. He is suspected of potentially having paid one of them off to keep quiet about their relationship and of giving preferential treatment to Martin County because he had an affair with a Martin County official.
