He comes from Nevada.
That sort of transaction is legal there.

So that's the qualifications to be a Republican aide.

I figured it had something to do with who you know.

[Kevins]

So few Repubican senators left,
Yet they are so hard-working.

Almost as hard-working as their aides' wives.

[Sabum]

where are all the adults?

[Kevins]

Don't know.
But their magazines are in the Republican washroom.

[nomobull]

and not cover up by paying the money.

Get this hypocrite out of office! He is a pathetic mess. There's nothing good to be said about him.

where's the trollies defending "their Guy"????

Guess boinking the married help and paying off the family with RNC and campaign funds is pushing it a LITTLE too far . . . . or maybe the thought of a grown Senator calling his mother to ASK for $96,000 in cash to "gift" his boinkette . . . . . also as funny as his Senate "Christian Boinkee Negotiator" claiming a "doctor-patient relationship" . . . and he's a OB-GYN!!!!!

oh well, we can always replay the Ensign calls for Clinton's resignation with a heavy breathing sound track when he runs in 2012 . . . . .

Good question. You would think the trollies will come of his closet. It will be a losing battle for them. Ensign will be a news item and laughing stock till 2012 when his term ends.

No re-election for the loose zipper on C Street.

[Americanium]

I can't wait for them to throw the book at this sanctimonious !#@$@__

[SharpDressedMan]

Ensign, Vitter, Sanford, Gibbons (Nevada's Governor), the list goes on.

To bad! So sad! BYE! BYE!

[norepublicanleftbehind]

Another Republican moral huckster.

Ensign --Please resign-- and don't take the pension with you.

[babyboomerorig]

I can't imagine my parents dishing out almost $100K to get my rear out of trouble. It just wouldn't happen.

No matter what Ensign's "family values", what are his parents'?

Loving your kids is one thing...I'd do most anything for mine....within reason....illegal stuff is out of the question.

PFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFF­FF!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

[SharpDressedMan]

John Ensign is toast. His next election is in 2012 so it will take another 3 years before he is voted out of office.

Previous election results show he narrowly beat his opponents. This scandal which involves money and sex is insurmountable. He is a lame duck.

lame dick . . .

[SharpDressedMan]

LOL

He probably is after getting caught. There is no global warming in his bedroom.

[lagunabeach]

Sen. Coburn is another republican hypocrite. He brokered Ensign's mistress's payoff and lied and said he didn't. Another family values guy...corporations should hire better lackeys to protect their interests...this current crop is dropping like flies.
