1. Ensign is in deep trouble.

But the media is barely focusing on him.

2. That's ok. That won't keep the Justice Dept from focusing on him, lol.

8. Yup, and once HCR passes, the MSM will get bored with it and move on.

Since Ensign's situation involves sex, they'll get to him eventually.

3. Nothing new to report till the indictment.

7. sorry it is not "new" NEWS to you...

The issuing of grand-jury subpoenas is new NEWS to me, and the news article is dated 18 March 2010 ... but, feel free to have the DU MODS to DELETE this topic.

6. Yep. I herad that yesterday.When I heard the FNI was investigating &

that anFederal Criminal grand jury had been empaneled, it was obvious that Ensign was in deep dodo. The highlight was that the RNC was right in it with him!!!!

Ii also heard an intelligent reason why Ensign hasn't resigned. i had always thought it was just ego and arrogance, buti hheardysterday that the reason an elected official stays in office is to keep his legal fund front and center. Once you resign, you're pretty much on your own and out of sight.

9. Corporate media won't say anything about Ensign until indictments come down

and they can no longer ignore it. Wouldn't be mannerly to cast asparagus, yunno...not against anyone with an 'R' after their name, that is.

10. There were several threads on Friday

That's why yours sank. Rachel covered Ensign extensively on Friday night.
