Ensign Blames CREW for Ethics Woes
By Jesse Zwick 8/13/10 5:36 PM


Senator John Ensign (R-Nev.) is raising money for a legal defense fund to fight the numerous ethics charges against him. In his appeal he blames Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), which he refers to as “a liberal organization,” for his present troubles, and says he’s been “accused of doing things I absolutely did not do.”

In response, CREW’s Director Melanie Sloan released the following statement:

“Senator Ensign had an extended affair with a campaign staffer, who happened to be married to his chief of staff Doug Hampton, fired them both, and had his parents pay them off without properly reporting it to the Federal Election Commission. He then conspired to help Mr. Hampton to set up a lobbying business to lobby his own office, in violation of federal law. So what exactly are the things that Senator Ensign is being accused of that he did not do?”

There’s not much more to add to that.

1. I have to kick this. This mofo shouldn't be able to get away

with anything.

[malaise]

2. He won't

I guess CREW had the affair with this staffer and then forced his parents to bribe the couple and the RNC to hire the couple's son. Ensigns SCREWS and blames CREW.

3. Ensigns SCREWS and blames CREW.

:rofl:

Good one, malaise!! :rofl:

[gratuitous]

4. Of course he blames someone else; he's a Republican

It's gotta work better than that "personal responsibility" jazz they peddle to the suckers. Curious how Ensign keeps hanging on and hanging on. Isn't he supposed to be tried or censured or something by now? People at Gitmo are getting speedier trials.

5. Way more curious is why the librul media never brings it up. So,

I thought I would. :D I look every day; one of these days, he'll get his, the sooner the better.

6. Well, innocent until proven guilty and all that crap

But the fall should be very hard for Mr. Ensign.

:hi:

7. Hi! So explain Rangel and Waters.

:shrug: Doesn't work both ways, does it.

:hi:

[gratuitous]

8. It's that darned librul media

Trying to throw the Tea Baggers off the scent. But they're too clever. Or they can't hold more than one thought at a time in their teeny little brains. It's one of those, I'm pretty sure.

9. wow--just. . . wow. how stupid does he think we are? apart from anything else, there is coburn

"ministering" to him at C street, and that lovely 96k payola from his parents (and isn't it so cute that a sitting US senator had to be bailed out by mums and dadums?)

[niyad]

10. I definitely think we should keep this kicked.
