John Ensign the Vet

Are the Feds still investigating him? He should be tending to rats in prison

http://articles.cnn.com/2012-02-20/politics/politics_ensign-vet_1_cynthia-hampton-john-ensign-animals?_s=PM OLITICS
<snip>
One minute, he's checking a cat's mouth for gingivitis. The next, he's carefully bandaging a dog's bloody, broken nail.

This could be any hard-working veterinarian tending to ailing animals. But the embroidered name on his crisp white medical coat bears a familiar name: Dr. John Ensign.

He's better known as former Nevada Sen. John Ensign, who abruptly announced his resignation 10 months ago amid a high-profile sex scandal.

"I built this," Ensign told CNN in an exclusive interview inside West Flamingo Animal Hospital, where he now works.

and sharing it with us. He has that "R" behind his name, so he is safe from any accountability.

on his resume and fool people into thinking he was a compassionate conservative, lol.

He was ALWAYS too slick for his own good, even way back when I taught him everything he has ever forgotten about veterinary microbiology lab techniques.

Jackass.
