Another Hypocrite V.2.0 - #307

#307 SEN. JOHN ENSIGN,
SENATOR FROM NEVADA

I have to retype this one from memory. The last 'another hypocrite' I did was GOP Cocksucker #288 (ED BUCKHAM).

Sen. Ensign was one of these clowns always insisting on what was moral and what wasn't. He was one of the members of 'The Family,' the secret conservative Christian cabal that used to have a house in C Street that had loads of adulterers in it despite being oh-so-moral. Guys like GOP Cocksucker #308 (GOV. MARK SANFORD) or GOP Cocksucker #312 (CHIP PICKERING).

Anyway, #307 got into trouble on June 16, 2009, when he confessed to banging Cindy Hampton, the wife of his best friend. It was going on for aobut 17 months. During that time, #307 made her the treasurer of the Battle Born Political Action Committee and the treasurer of the Senate Majority Committee, both of which were fundraising for Ensign. #307 made her the treasurer of his own campaign last year but that was about a month after the affair ended.

The Ensign business is one of those things that just will not die, since Ensign refuses to resign and more revelation come in a steady drip-drip-drip. I mean, just look at some of them:

1. GOP Cocksucker #311 (SEN. TOM COBURN) gets into the imbroglio, forcing Ensign to write a letter breaking off the affair and forcing him to fed-ex it to Hampton. (Ensign promptly contacted Hampton and told her in essence, that he had written the letter to get #311 off his back and he didn't mean a word of it.)

2. #311 denied that he told #307 to pay hush money to the Hamptons.

3. #307's loaded mommy and daddy pay the cuckolded husband $96,000.

4. Doug Hampton, the cuckolded husband, has an interview in early July of 2009 in which he contacted ex-Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum about the affair and heard nothing.

5. The Washington Post editorial board asks for an investigation into the entire matter by the Senate Ethics Committee.

6. #307's chief of staff quits.

7. #307's communications director quits.

8. #307's dad backs out of a casino project in Kansas over the matter.

9. State Rep. Dean Heller of the Nevada GOP says that Ensign should answer questions about the affair.

10. The Senate Ethics Committee launches a probe into the Ensign matter in October 2009.

11. TPM Muckraker and Politico both cite experts who say it would be hard for Ensign to NOT face criminal charges.

12. #307 moves out of The Family's C Street house.

13. The C street house loses its tax exemption.

14. The department of justice says a probe into the #307 case is a low-priority matter for them, meaning that repercussions over the affair can stretch over the YEARS.

15. Doug Hampton, the cuckolded husband, says the payments #307's parents made to him were definately severance, which would violate campaign finance laws.

16. Ensign claims that candidates in 2010 are eager to have him campaign for them but won't say who any of them are.

17. The Senate Ethics Committee issues subpeonas for documents in the Ensign case and his former chief of staff.

18. And in the latest bit, at the end of 2009, #307 goes on CNN all ready to rip President Obama up the middle over the failed terror attacks. He is visibly astonished when Rick Sanchez of CNN shows he hasn't forgotten about the affair and Ensign's attempts to try and sweep it under the rug.
