Rep. (Sherwood R-PA) paying ex-mistress about $500Kvia Democratic Underground
ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A Republican congressman accused of abusing his ex-mistress agreed to pay her about $500,000 in a settlement last year that contained a powerful incentive for her to keep quiet until after Election Day, a person familiar with the terms of the deal told The Associated Press.
Rep. Don Sherwood (news, bio, voting record) is locked in a tight re-election race against a Democratic opponent who has seized on the four-term congressman's relationship with the woman. While Sherwood acknowledged the woman was his mistress, he denied abusing her and said that he had settled her $5.5 million lawsuit on confidential terms. More
Don Sherwood, a leading 'family values' Republican who like all Republicans are against what's good for the country, i.e, embyronic stem cell research, etc, and lectures others on living a moral lifestyle but as the vast majority of his party, doesn't live up to it.
Pennsylvanians in the 10th District, wise up, buy a fucking clue and vote for Chris Carney!
