Poor West Palm Beach

Rep. Tim Mahoney (D-FL), who replaced disgraced former Rep. Mark Foley, a Republican, after Foley's sex scandal two years ago, now has a sex scandal all his own:

ABC News is reporting that Mahoney agreed to pay a $121,000 settlement to a former mistress who worked on his Congressional and campaign staff since his 2006 campaign.

The story also reveals that Mahoney promised her a job at the consulting firm that handles his campaign's media production.

The kicker in all this?  Mahoney's campaign in 2006 promised "a world that is safer, more moral."

Welcome to unemployment, Tim!
