Top Aides Leaving Ensign

Share

(Newser) – More trouble for John Ensign in Nevada. The Republican senator has lost two senior aides in as many days, reports the Las Vegas Sun. The developments follow Ensign's admission that he had an affair with a former staffer and that his wealthy parents then paid her $100,000. What's worse, the staff departures are fueling speculation that more embarrassing revelations are imminent, the Sun notes.

Looks like Ensign will never make it to Lt. JG. The poor thing, another corrupt rich white kid discriminated against by the left-liberal media, the godless heathens and the poor. Is there no Christian forgiveness for good old America hypocrisy any more? Reply
