I just fucking love it when the Republican Party claims to be the political party that loves its three G's- Guns, Guts, and the Almighty Jehovah God (don't you dare call said Deity "Allah". That's just un-American...). They also claim to be the party in which marriages stay strong and no one has affairs.
Yeah, right!
U.S. Senator John Ensign, R-Nevada, was considering a run for president in 2012. During the scandal involving President Bill Clinton and Lewis and Clark grad (and White House intern) Monica Lewinsky, Ensign suggested that Clinton resign. Of course, the "zipper gate" affair only strengthened the Clinton marriage, and made Clinton an even more popular president. Having said this, I think that it's a bit hypocritical for Ensign to say that he's for family values when this asshole himself broke the one thing that should have mattered to him the most: his marriage.
Today in Las Vegas, Ensign acknowledged the extramarital affair of his best friend's wife. Can anybody say "Keep your friends close, but keep an eye on your best friend"? It appears that the friend's wife and Ensign did the nasty as they worked on Ensign's latest senatorial campaign. Now Ensign has become the latest laughingstock of the GOP, and his wife Darlene is keeping the frying pan; cat-o-nines; and machete close- just in case he wants to stray again.
"...I have deeply hurt and disappointed...Darlene, my children, my family, my friends..." Obviously the couple in question. "and my staff and all those who believed in me," he lied. And just thing, this fuck could've been president in 2012. Now, he's the latest example of a Republican party that seems to be coming apart at the seams. Gee, thanks a lot, John!
How long will it be before we see Darlene and John Ensign on "Divorce Court"? But given the fact that they live in Nevada, a short hop and skip to Reno will keep any proceedings quite short.
