Politics (Un)Seriously

So, what are they smoking in Florida's 16th congressional district? First, there was former Republican Rep. Mark Foley who had to resign in 2006 when news broke about sexually explicit e-mail and text messages he sent to underage congressional pages. Now it turns out his successor, Democrat Tim Mahoney, who is married and has a child, hired his mistress to work for him after he won the election, fired her, paid her $121,000 to cover legal fees after she threatened to sue, and promised her a new job.

It was inevitable that Jon Stewart would deconstruct the Mahoney saga.
