Sen. John Ensign's housemates in a Capitol Hill Christian enclave had to intervene not once, but twice, in early 2008 to persuade him to cut off his extramarital affair, according to the New Yorker in a story this week.

A half dozen men awakened Ensign in his basement room and confronted him after learning he had not quit the affair, even after he had vowed to repent during an intervention several weeks earlier.

"This second intervention ended with Ensign sitting at the foot of his bed, weeping," according to the piece. “ 'You’re right,' he told his friends. 'I’m going to end this craziness.' ”

The article raises questions about the Nevadan agreeing to stop the affair in the first place, after he was confronted by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., several minsters and the woman's husband, Doug Hampton.

"If you don't hold us accountable, we'll do bad things in Washington!"
