Rethug Sen. John "Don Juan" Ensign's affair with his staff director's wife was exposed earlier this year, but Don Juan continues to twist slowly in the wind of Nevada politics. He told a Las Vegas talk show that he wouldn't step down because it would force a second Senate race in 2010, in addition to the Senate race that Sen. Harry Reid (D) will be in. That would take "the focus off Harry Reid," Don Juan unselfishly explained.
Don Juan's in major trouble in Nevada, and that's not accounting for the possible violations of law that he may have committed in an attempt to silence his mistress and her husband. The Senate Ethics Committee is looking into Don Juan's misbehavior to determine whether laws were broken, and the mistresses' husband apparently has more to tell about Don Juan's gyrations to keep the affair quiet. So sit back, and pop some popcorn; the show continues.
