Hey! We're in the news!!

There's a Music City angle to the story about married Representative Tim Mahoney's (D-FL) payment of hush money for at least one of his former mistresses. According to the NY Times ("Sex Scandal Shakes Race for Congress in Florida"):

That agreement included a $61,000 severance payment, a $60,000 payment for legal fees and an agreement by Ms. Allen not to join any other campaign for at least a year, the staff members said. They said the agreement also involved a promise to Ms. Allen of a job at Fletcher Rowley Chao Riddle, a Nashville firm that handled Mr. Mahoney’s advertising.

On Monday, the company said that it was severing all ties with Mr. Mahoney’s campaign and that it had no knowledge of the promises to Ms. Allen for employment.

Yikes, what a "culture of corruption"!?!?!?!
