House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called on the House Ethics Committee to "immediately and thoroughly" investigate a report by ABC News today that Florida Rep. Tim Mahoney secretly paid his former alleged mistress and campaign staffer to prevent a sexual harassment lawsuit from going forward.

After an ABC News report revealed that Florida Rep. Tim Mahoney secretly paid his former alleged mistress and campaign staffer to prevent a sexual harassment lawsuit from going forward, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called on the House Ethics Committee to "immediately and thoroughly" investigate the report. The advertising company used by Mahoney's campaign, Fletcher Rowley Chao Riddle, also announced that it had "permanently" ended its relationship with the West Palm Beach congressmen based on the report by ABC News that he had promised his former alleged mistress a job at the firm as part of a secret legal deal.

"I just learned today about the serious allegations concerning Congressman Tim Mahoney," Pelosi said in a statement. "These charges must be immediately and thoroughly investigated by the House Ethics Committee."

The announcement came just as the advertising company used by Mahoney's campaign said that it had "permanently" ended its relationship with the West Palm Beach congressmen based on the report by ABC News that he had promised his former alleged mistress a job at the firm as part of a secret legal deal.

Hey, Nancy, how about investigating a certain REPUBLICAN first before you go after our own???

[thunder rising]

1. Bye bye Timmy ... you POS.

[Wizard777]

8. Nancy doesn't do impeachments. That word better not leave her mouth over this.

Because the impeachment she gets very well might be her own. We need to end this phallus fallacy that impeachment can only result from abuses involving a Penis.

[thunder rising]

13. I have not idea what you just said. I'm in FL16 and I know that Mahoney has to go. Now is good.

[Freddie Stubbs]

23. It's either him or Rooney

[JeanGrey]

22. And with our money too -

yup that was better than Foley..................

[ixion]

2. Have sex: get investigated... kill, torture, murder and steal

and investigations are "off the table."

Some freedom! :eyes:

[AllyCat]

7. EXACTLY what I was wondering! Just need a good ole sex scandal

to get Pelousy's attention. Thanks for nothing Nancy.

[madfloridian]

3. More to it than on the surface.

Rahm, what a mess we now have in FL 16. Recruiting Republicans to run as Dems. Not a good idea.

He was a conservative fundamentalist Christian Republican millionaire until Rahm recruited him to run as a Democrat.

[ReadTomPaine]

10. Bingo. This is what happens when you run GOP freaks as Democrats....

party affiliations tend to lose meaning and it becomes a corrupt, influence-peddling operation. That Rahm's model for the party. No one should ever forget this.

4. Good n/t

[salguine]

5. And now the next step should be an investigation into

Nancy Pelosi to find out what fucking skeletons are in her closet that made her take impeachment "off the table".

[Lone_Star_Dem]

6. Great to hear!

It's what should be done.

[nolabels]

9. Pelosi does what ever her puppet masters tell her

Anybody surprised by this shouldn't be

[OwnedByFerrets]

11. You are pathetic Pelosi....how about investigating a

fucking war criminal that sits in the white house. FUB.

Just what's in that water?

[Suji to Seoul]

16. Apparently it's populated by Fundies that run for office.

Goodbye Mr. Blue Dogs Run the Party Now. Take your DINO ass home. . .with the rest of your Blue Dog DINOS and give the party back to Real Democrats!

17. Is SHE still around?

Isn't the Congress in "recess"?

It's not only the last days of bush ... hopefully the last days of that woman who has not fulfilled her duties as a US Congressperson.

[Grinchie]

18. How does this Evidence Overshadow numerous Articles of Impeachment???

Pelosi is one stupid speaker.

W can crash the Economy and start an unfunded War of Aggression on the biggest Credit Card of the world, and Pelosi needs more evidence.. Pathetic loser she is.

Did NSA implant electrodes in her brain like McCain, or do they use a "Red Queen" to unlock her doors.

[Ian David]

19. Oh, when it's a Democrat in trouble, Pelosi suddenly gives a shit. n/t

[PeaceNikki]

24. He wasn't a Dem until it became convenient in the 2004 election cycle.

[frylock]

20. if you're gonna waste the bronze, you gotta do it big!

[tazkcmo]

21. I don't care if she's right or wrong

FUCK PELOSI!

[Psephos]

26. Here's a recording of Mahoney firing her

Sooner he's gone the better. Pugs are laughing into their beers over this loser after the Foley scandal.
