ok, you schtuup some chick on the side - fine. you're a dirtbag, but fine.

you do it a 2nd time, well, that's something else.

you do it with a high-ranking and influential official in your district at the same time as the first, and buddy, you gotta go.

some lurid details as reported by the AP

Mahoney, 52, won his seat in 2006 while promising to return morals and family values to Washington in the aftermath of the resignation of former Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Foley.

He said he never misused campaign money and was confident he will be cleared of wrongdoing.

Mahoney's statement came one day after ABC News reported that he had an affair with an aide and then paid her $121,000 to keep her quiet and avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit. After the report, Mahoney called for an investigation into his own conduct by the House Ethics Committee.

The person said Mahoney was having the relationship with the official in 2007 while he also was lobbying the Federal Emergency Management Agency for a $3.4 million reimbursement for Martin County for damage caused by hurricanes in 2004. FEMA approved the money late last year.

but at least he wasn't mo-texting some kids
