Senator Ensign; on the sanctity of marriage and how gays sully it,

[rustydog]

would you repeat your stand again?

So did your wedding vows include: "Unless a girl with better bazooms do us part?"

Sir, how are we supposed to take you seriously after today?
Do the honorable thing and resign. Now.

1. Thank you for posting this. n/t

[monmouth]

2. Wife says "alls well"...They worked it out, nothing to see here I guess...LOL...n/t

[malaise]

7. But but but

this is only coming out because the ex-mistress demanded hush money

[gratuitous]

3. Whaaa?

You can't possibly be suggesting that simply because Sen. Ensign was doing the horizontal mambo with a staffer-not-his-wife that he has damaged the institution of marriage in any way, shape or form? Certainly he hasn't done any damage to marriage to compare with the mere thought of same-sex marriage? And leave it to you libruls to exploit someone's private situation to score cheap political points. Why can't you permit Sen. Ensign the decency to resolve this private, painful, personal matter with his wife? And his mistress? In peace? Have you libruls no shame at all! Arrest my case!

Did I hit all the Bob Boudelang talking points? Someone tune in to Fox to be sure I didn't miss any.

Wait, what am I saying? Fox won't cover this at all.

4. You left out his mistress' husband.

Then again, maybe the mistress' cuckolded husband did the senator's wife or vice versa.

Didn't Ensign have a big speech about DOMA back in 2004?

8. Oops

Politico reported, per a Nevada political insider "that Ensign began an affair with a staffer several months after he separated from his wife. When Ensign reconciled with his wife, the source said, he gave the aide a severance package and parted ways. Sometime later, the source said, Ensign met with the husband of the woman involved and had what this source described as a positive encounter. But the source said that the man subsequently asked Ensign for a substantial sum of money -- at which point Ensign decided to make the affair public."

9. Adultery, sex in the workplace, hush money, extortion...

Nasty business.

[Ilsa]

10. Ah shucks. The cuckold should have low-balled him for starters, then ramped it up! nt

[Ilsa]

5. And privately, Newt Gingrich quietly sips his beer and grins really big. nt

[rustydog]

6. yeah, Newt. he claimed oral sex wasn't cheating

So, Neutered Gingrich, what say you?
Should a lying hypocrite have to resign?
