At least he's sort of owning up to it and removing himself - out of guilt? Embarassment? Not for me to say.
Still, extramarital affairs can really screw stuff up.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.I'm glad you know this, Senator. It's a shame you actually had to commit the sin to find out.
There's no justice in the world and there never was~What kind of last name is "Ensign"...?
You can't even write racist abuse in excrement on somebody's car without the politically correct brigade jumping down your throat!^^ Guess he didn't care to learn from the mistakes of thers and just had to experience it himself. Derp, much?

Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.At least he had the grace not to be a hypocrite. I'll let him off without any condemnation or complaints. I wish him a happy life, but I doubt he's going to get it.
Except for 4/1/2011. That day lingers in my memory like...metaphor here...I should go.Dumbass.
yeah, I figured this guy would be in East Asia or something.

I'm thinking of a democratic President.

The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.Personally I don't much care about their sexual proclivities...I did see a reference to a citizens' group listing him as one of the 15 most corrupt senators, however.
And he is 1/8 Filipino! Knew it!

There's no justice in the world and there never was~Yay. I don't care about the bedroom activities of politicians.
If one of them goes for this, it's just another tacit victory for the sex police.
I'm a skeptical squirrelAs much as I think it's pointless, you've got to admire him for sticking up with his principles; for a second I thought he was the senator who was looking for tranny sex on Craigslsit.
Honestly, this one does not think that marital affairs have anything to do with one's capability as a politician, but I am very glad to know that this guy is not a hypocrite at least. Can respect that.
If we disagree, that much, at least, we have in commonAm I the only one who finds the whole scene completely ridiculous? He screwed a friend's wife. It's not the most morally upright thing to do, but stuff happens. What's the big deal?

You exist because we allow it and you will end because we demand it.@SH Tell that to his wife.
There's no justice in the world and there never was~And tell that to his friend.
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.If more politicians really did step down after doing something corrupt (or at least getting caught...) that'd be great. Too bad it's mostly for sex scandals rather than, y'know, actual corruption.
Oh silly Ratix, everyone knows sex scandals are more important than the budget.
The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.Damn you Poe's Law!

Then again, in those days we had vastly too much secrecy.

I'm a skeptical squirrel(bit over sixty yeas, but I'm nitpicking)
Crap, he got away with that? I was pretty sure he was all busted up from polio. If true, then he had a Charisma of 18+ or something...
Happiness is zero-gee with a sinus cold.I would have voted for Brendan Tainor in 2006.
TU NE CEDE MALIS CLASS OF 1971
His recent statement makes me marginally less bad about having him as one of my two Senators.
Of course, I'd feel a lot better if a so-called Family Values senator had actually showed some real family values, but I guess we get what they pay for.
