TPM:
The lawyer for Rep. Tim Mahoney provided documentation to the Associated Press today showing that Mahoney used personal funds to pay $121,000 to Patricia Allen, a former staffer and mistress. The wire transfer receipts and canceled checks provided to the AP answer the question of whether or not the Congressman had ever followed through on the private settlement reported earlier this week.
The documents also answer one of the other questions swirling around Mahoney's scandal -- whether the payment had involved campaign funds. While Mahoney has issued statements in the few days since this scandal erupted, he had failed to deny or directly address questions about the affair or the settlement.

Who cares what Mahoney does with his own money just as long as he does his job. Now on a side note.
I wish Boner Boy had jumped in fast to stop Foley for getting kids that work in the Capital but Boner Boy kept that secret for many many years as hundres of boys were approached for sex from Mark Foley. Yes I know the Families were paid off not to speak up but please Boner Boy needs a new job.
