Remember the media hubbub two years over the Mark Foley (R-FL) “dirty email” scandal? Well, it is now clear that his successor, Tim Mahoney (D-FL), has had no less than two affairs since taking over the office on a platform of family values and restored morality. So where is the press on this story – especially now that it appears there is a federal investigation involving the misuse of congressional funds and a potential sexual quid-pro-quo for disaster relief funds in the county run by one of his bimbos.

The FBI is investigating whether Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney broke any laws or misused federal money when he hired a mistress to work in his office, a senior federal law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

Federal agents also are examining whether a second affair Mahoney was having with a high-level official in his Florida district was behind his decision to push for federal emergency funds for her county, the official said.

The person spoke to The Associated Press only on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation. The person noted investigators would likely need both women's help to pursue the matter. The cases would be hard to prove without them.

We’ve yet to hear the media ask what the Democrat leadership knew and when they knew it – and why they didn’t address it with an ethics investigation at the time rather than waiting until the long-rumored affairs were finally made public. For that matter, the press isn’t giving us the saturation coverage that they gave a handful of questionable emails sent to male pages and held by Democrat activists until they would do the most political damage to the GOP. I wonder why that could be?

The good news, though, is that Mahoney is now down by 26 in the polls, with the deficit widening since it became public that he couldnÂ’t keep his pants on and his mistresses out of the public purse.
