Dems Covering Up FL Democrat Rep. Mahoney Payment to Mistress

According to ABCNews' Brian Ross, top Democrats are involved in covering up Democrat Rep. Tim Mahoney's $121,000 hush money to silent a mistress. Mahoney took Mark Foley's seat after the high-profile emails he sent to pages, which came to light during the 2006 campaign.

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.

More Democratic culture of corruption issues? Something tells me it won't get the same media coverage that the Mark Foley scandal did.
