ensign got his mama and daddy to take care of problems with his girlfriend? what is he- 15? this is so sick, its funny

Ensign must have "god" on his side. How else can he take everyone down around him and survive? PTL

[From the Raft]

"The head of the Kansas Lottery told the Kansas City Star that the lottery will conduct its own ethics investigation into Ensign's involvement in the scandal ..." the Mafia has an "ethics" panel??

It's usually the sins of the father that affect the sons ..................... But this is the case where the sins of the son has become a nightmare for the father.

Ensign will never resign. He is a member of "The Family" from C Street. These guys believe that god put them in power and that regular rules don't apply to them. A guy wrote a book about it. It was really scary to hear what he had to say.

"Family Values" . . . .

$96,000 for "rental unit", Business Expense.

Your Comment: Priceless.

How much did the Family Research Council invest in the cover up? He is one of their faithful spokepeople on Capitol Hill..

[FrazeC]

this man IS or SHOULD BE toast BUT he is a Republican so he will probably survive as they are great at turning the other cheek for one of their own.

[iMissMollyIvins]

The Republicans gave him a standing ovation on the floor of the Senate when he came back from his adultery-induced hiatus. They're nothing but a bunch of immoral, unethical power-mongering hypocrites.

I don't know that I would go that far, but they really love having sex on someone else's dime and wife don't they!

Now I remember who Ensign reminds me of, Marcus Welby, MD.

[beautyontheinside]

I guess I"m a little younger...:) I see J Peterman from Seinfeld.

[From the Raft]

He reminds me of Fats Domino, "I found my thrill of Capitol Hill ..."

WOW, senator you must be very satisfied indeed. You screw your mistress and your dad all at the same time.

[koalaholik]

Bet you his father is wishing there was retro-active ab*rtion

[koalaholik]

At what point in your life does Daddy stop bailing you out?

[judesuper]

When you're a spoiled little rich kid, never.

[VOTER]

Ask the Bush "Boys."

[hollybork]

What a shame. From gambling dens to the halls of the Senate. It sounds a lot like Michael Corleone.

[BeasleysMom]

An insult to the Corleone family.

[BoyInBOYCOTT]

Way to go Johnny Casino, screw Daddy as much as ya did the mistress.

Family Values at it's heterosexual BEST.

[donbrown]

What sweet revenge this would be. Money is the ONLY thing these people understand...and the only way to hurt them.

They FEEL nothing.

[Rangergirl]

C street should loose tax exempt status...It is encouraging bad behavior of its members...And is a CULT not a religion....

[Rangergirl]

Good hit them in their pocketbooks.....What he did was shady if not illegal...
