Rep. Paying Ex - Mistress About $500K
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Filed at 4:50 p.m. ET

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- 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 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.

8. whoa! what a scary picture!

I still can't figure out if that's a photograph of Ann Coulter in drag, or a digital projection of what Paris Hilton will look like in 2017...
