Awkward: Lame Duck Democrat Disgraced In Sex Scandal Shows Up For Committee Hearing

By Rob on November 19, 2008 at 09:39 pm

The red-faced Florida Democrat, who lost his House seat this month after admitting to at least two affairs, showed up today to a Financial Services Committee hearing today, ignoring the advice of the committee staff and even that of his own aides, reports ABCNews.com.

What’s more, Mahoney aides say he told them he wanted to meet privately with committee chair Barney Frank to offer his advice on the economic crisis.

As he left the hearing room, Mahoney told the website: “I’m still a congressman with a job to do, and I intend to ride this out.”

But one of his staff members took a different view, telling ABCNews.com: “Someone didn’t get the memo that he wasn’t re-elected.”

What’s funny is that the chairman of the committee, Barney Frank, was actually embroiled in a sex scandal that had one of Frank’s lovers using his DC apartment for prostitution. Frank held on to his seat in the House, but Mahoney got unelected.

Back story on Mahoney here.

What can one say to the entitlement mentality of the left.

Lets see if Stevens from Alaska shows up and wants to be a part of the process.

There are corrupt officials on both side of the aisle, it’s just that the leadership of the party doesn’t continue to embrace them on the Republican side.

There is definitely something to be said for true campaign finance reform, and for term limits.

There is a joke about elected officials and diapers.....The longer they are employed, the smellier they get, and they need to be changed regularly to be effective.

No Shoulder Shrugs. A lie left unchallenged soon becomes the truth.

Aren’t they still in the congress until January?

[W]hat you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
