The Don Juan Ensign Show

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.

Don Juan Ensign's Letter to Mommy and Daddy

Some how, some way Jesus' General has managed to get its hands on the letter Sen. Don Juan Ensign sent to Mommy and Daddy asking for hush money for his mistress! (If Don Juan has to put off wearing big boy pants, we know Sen. "Diaper Dave" Vitter (Rethug-Bordello) can loan him some diapers until he's ready.)

Rethug Family Values, Cont'd.

Rethuglican Sen. John "Don Juan" Ensign is admitting to an affair with the wife of one of his Senate staff members. Way to promote office morale, DJ!

Don Juan, who is also chairman of the GOP Policy Committee, conducted the affair between December 2007 and August 2008. Maybe that's part of the reason the Rethugs don't have much in the way of policy to talk about; the guy was too busy, um, gettin' busy. DJ has three children, and one angry wife.
