She Apparently DIdn't Get The Memo

During the Elliot Spitzer prostitute scandal, my radio partner in crime Jazz Shaw noted that it seems that anytime a Democrat gets into marital trouble his wife would "stand by her man" - usually in a sky blue suit and pearls. Apparently Rep. Tim Mahoney's wife didn't get that particular memo.

Six days after sitting silently at Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney's side as he acknowledged causing ''pain'' in their marriage, Terry Mahoney filed for divorce Monday.

She filed a petition in Palm Beach County Court seeking the dissolution of their 23-year marriage, possession of their Palm Beach Gardens home and ''a full accounting of all funds spent or dissipated by the husband within the last two years'' -- the period since Mahoney was elected to Congress on a ''faith, family and personal responsibility'' platform in the aftermath of the Mark Foley sex scandal.

The irony that Mahoney took this seat in the aftermath of Mark Foley's sexcapades is not lost on most honest political observers.

No doubt Jazz and I will be talking about this and all the other election news on our BTR show tomorrow. I hope you will join us at 1pm Eastern, 11am Mountain.
