[NYPOST] The city councilman who bungled his way into federal bribery charges is also a total bonehead in his kooky heathen religion -- whose members wear medieval garb, make sacrifices to multiple gods and compete in combat games.
Dan Halloran (R-Queens) -- who was arrested Tuesday as the suspected bag man in state Sen. Malcolm Smith's alleged plot to buy his way onto the mayoral ticket -- has been publicly flogged and lost a spear-throwing contest as part of his Theodish punishments.
Halloran converted in the 1980s from Catholicism to the pre-Christian Germanic religion, whose believers drink mead or whiskey from horns and dress like characters in a Renaissance fair.
He learned about their tough disciplinary code when he committed an undisclosed act against a female "thrall" -- or probationary servant.
He was stripped to his waist, strapped to a tree and flogged with a belt 11 times.
