Haunted House seat?

Seriously? Mark Foley's successor Tim Mahoney involved in a sex scandal. What are the odds? I call some sort of curse...

This is kind of an interesting line, though:
"Senior Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives, including Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), the chair of the Democratic Caucus, have been working with Mahoney to keep the matter from hurting his re-election campaign, the Mahoney staffers said."

How different that is from the Republicans who couldn't forsake Foley fast enough.

Provoking a reaction isn't the same thing as saying something meaningful.

You are comparing apples and oranges.

Emanuel seems to have had a consensual affair with an adult of the opposite sex, and tried to keep her quiet by paying her off.

Foley was emailing and texting male congressional pages who were under the age of 18, with what I would interperet as sexually suggestive content.

Both activities are scummy. In my world view, Foley's activities are far more scummy than Emanuel's. YMMV.
