No, the worst things he ever did was to spout his Christian values, dog out Bill Clinton for having an affair (like he just admitted to) and work to deny the rights for GLBT folks to have marriage.
He's got a lot to atone for....don't you think?
linrick
intheknow has hit the ball out of the park with his comments. Another Republican fraud who castigates those who did the same thing that he did. I am certain that somone got the goods on this clown, and Ensign attempted to beat him to the punch,which he did.
Now that this incident has been made public and you can feel"refreshed", please continue your family values discussion and sing songs aboub Jesus.

It's nice that the DB dutifully points out that the Sen. is GOP but never mentions what party that Blago or Spitzer belong to.......
Ritarita
Oh come on oped-
Is there somebody somewhere
Anybody who doesn't know Blago
Is a Democrat?
This guy is a little more obscure
To the unintiated.

No surprise here. He's an old school politician, slicked hair, gleaming smile, saying one thing and doing another, and begging Christian forgiveness when he gets caught. The devil made him do it. It works here in the South; that's all we expect from our elected officials. Makes you realize how lucky we are to have new-school politician Obama leading us doesn't it.

Seriously, WHO CARES!!
The real issue is the way the GOP have been so sanctimonious about this in the past.
Politicians are humans and will make mistakes in their personal lives just like the rest of us.
I don't think I've ever quoted the bible, but I think "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" is rather fitting, don't you?
Just get on with running the country and cool it with the righteous stuff, please.

"In a speech "to defend the sanctity of marriage and urge passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment Act," on the Senate floor in 2004, Ensign said "marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded."-CBSNEWS
Dear Mr. Ensign,
Do we Have To Know about this matter? Why should the world know about your private shenanigans? Do we have to know you had difficulties in your marriage? If so, what else do you want us to know? You feel all better now, senator?
Does anyone know why this is relevant? Do your wife and children need the aggravation? Is this a GOP secret/public ritual initiation protocol? If you suffer a toothache, will you call a press conference? Should the world know all about Ensign? If so, tell us all there is to know about John Ensign, Mr. Senator. Now that you've started, let it all hang out.
You know what, senator, xMiss Cal Carrie Prejean said she was "here to save marriage". You would make such a nice let's-save-marriage poster kids for The Cause. Now the two of you go and mull it over. And no shenanigans this time, Mr. Senator.
Have I been helpful to you, Mr. Senator? The world wants to know.

Blackmail was probably the motivator for the revelation. These guys just never get it. It's the one bi-partisan event they do well. Oh, wait - also pocketing money from special interest.

Carole65 -- You are on to something here.
Wanna know who is promoting a $30 billion government, aka "The Feds", guarantee for Gov. Palin's GasLine pipe dream? Well, it's none other than Dem. senator from N.Dakota Byron Dorgan:
"The provision would boost the loan guarantee for an Alaska pipeline from the current $18 billion US. The bill was introduced by Senator Byron Dorgan, a North Dakota Democrat, in April."-Calgary Herald

You call blackmail a monetary compensation from a cuckolded former employee? I did not hear our dear senator call for an investigation into this most grave and felonious "blackmail".
Let's just say the offended husband is rightly furious at the sanctimonious senator and wants monetary compensation for the pain and suffering.
Happens all the time. Even to sanctimonious philandering jerks.

Is Bill Clinton
Calling for his resignation
Because he has embarrassed
His office?
One by one the hypocrites
Who cast the first stones
Are succumbing to karma.
Ken Starr will be the next one
To bite the dust-
In a golfing tragedy.

He said he was close and very good friends with the other women and her husband - OBVIOUSLY ! - you were on top of her. How much closer can someone get? What a piece of scum. Hypocrite ! Isn't it funny his name almost sounds like RESIGN. I can't stop laughing at this political party. It's too bad they will be all gone soon. I'll miss them.
Ruckus
Oh My GOD ! I just realized something, look where he is standing? In front of a restroom. LMAO - maybe Larry Craig is waiting for him. Sucky Sucky.
Thank you.
