Ex-mistress's husband says Ensign paid severance (AP)

AP - The sex scandal engulfing Sen. John Ensign has deepened now that his former mistress's husband has revealed new details about the relationship, saying the Nevada Republican paid the woman more than $25,000 in severance when she stopped working for him. » Full Story on Yahoo! News

If politicians would stop trying to campaign with their religious values on their sleve, there would be less concern when they realize they are human.

Of course, they all like the money that comes from the church groups.

Reading this story, including many quotes by Hampton, I am just amazed at what a money grubbing self centered prick he really is. Whores out his wife for money. If not for Ensign, he wouldn't even have had a job. Now he wants his house paid off, and money to move to Colorado... dude she wasn't that good. Go try to find a job, and stop acting like a victim when it's clear all you ever cared about was "what's in it for me". No wonder your wife was looking for a real man.

Oh the irony of it. It's always the same, the reason these righteous pricks preach is that they are out for grabs and trying to cover it up with bible paper. Holy jerks who want three things, money, a tight ho, and the ability to lie convincingly about it. The Nazi's were the same. Founded in a gay bar, preached purity and then behaved as the most hedionistic depraved souls on earth.

hmmm. it would seem that certain people in the political arena are more prone to extramarital affairs.
After Clinton admitted to having committed adultery, Ensign called on him to resign, saying, "He has no credibility left."

funny he and mark sanford, both republicans, both againts gay marriage. Both can't handle straight marriage.

mark sanford stated: Clinton's behavior to be "reprehensible."

It would seem the Republicans are failures at morality.

Lord knows they also seem to forget that silly help the poor stuff Jesus spoke of.

Remember the ones that yell morality the loudest are usually far from worthy of the glory of God.

Me, well I blame the Liberals for this too! (I had to say it, all the non-working conservative leaches that fill the Buzz bin with their rhetorric will soon be awake) - You know the ones that sit on their butts all day splewing out there opinions while we actually go to work.

Hold some T&A in front of a man and he has to have it, doesn't matter if he's a Republican or Democrat.

I believe it was the late Bob Hope who stated that, "The definition of honest politicans are ones who keep their hands in their own pockets and not somebody elses."

Another Sanford or the other way around. Amazing how these guys talk suddenly about sin...and religion...what the heck is wrong with these morons. and they supposed to run our country. I mean Kissinger surrounded himself constantly with pretty women, but you never heard that kind of whining, and crying from him, after he humped someone and paying them off???? I don't believe so..... Who is the public voting for? Not only that these moron don't do anything for this country, but they are totally nuts. The only thing I can see from these cases, parents don't dragg your kids to these reborn, christian places,or country preachers, the kids all turn out to be corrupted hypocrits.

"I used you for my own pleasure. It was wrong and it was sin." Then they pay for the Hamptons $25K. Get their home paid for, What a great guy. He should be canonized. I wonder if he left the money on the dresser after he zipped up his pants. Was this money out of his own pocket or did he use taxpayers money. No where in there is an apology to the woman he used or the husband or to the Christians that donated money to his campaign. It seems to me that when the average Jane and Joe are looking for a job they are subject to credit checks, criminal checks then tell me WHY aren't our elected officials bound by the same rules. And the money he gave her ... why not call it what it was: PROSTITUTION.

Republicans just don't get it. What we liberals find so offensive about this would be similar to the feelings we would have if a "social crusader" type Democrat turned out to be the worst slumlord in the country. It's the hypocricy.

It sounds like Mr. Hampton planned all this from the start. Now that the millions did not come across, his is pissing all over the public air waves to get what revenge he can from not getting the millions.

It sounds like a black mail plot from the very start.

Why does every one want to make this a Dem vs Rep issue all the time? It really is a Politician vs the people they are suppose to represent issue. What has it come down to that our elected officials are screwing over the nation with gving banks free money, sticking its nose in the auto industry, trying to tell me and you that the health care system is all f*cked up and even to the degree that we are overdosing ourself on pain medications. This is the year 2009 but it is getting to look more of more like "1984".

Christian Conservatives are destroying the Republican Party.

First they chased Moderates and Independents out of the Big Tent, now they are burning it down.

The only difference between Clinton and Ensign is simply getting a b***j** in the oval office is not having sex. And then telling Monica she did a poor job..and then finding her another job in government. I would say that Hampton was a high price hooker for $25,000. Sounds like a good set up to me. Another repub bites the dust and screws up (pardon the pun)

TO ALL MEN & WOMEN WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE COMMANDMENTS "THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY and THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBORS WIFE?" Stop ruining lives...especially the lives of children. When you are tempted always think of what your dear old grandma and grandpa would think of the shame you have brought on your family name.

Family Values

Our Senator Ensign, he values family the most.
You can tell by the way he starts them everywhere.
A kid with this, a kid with that. Don't roast
him: he's supporting hetero-sex against the queers.
And selfless Sarah, too. Her children get toasts
at every speech she makes. She has no fears.
And if it happens to lift her in the polls -
Well, God wants it that way so she can save our souls!

To me the issue is more a matter of total hypocrisy than it is illicit sex. Bill Clinton in a minor leaguer compared to some of these Republicans.

Reading the comments, I am surprised (and pleased) at how many people remember the charade that went on with Clinton and the righteous indignation expressed, the totally judgmental attitude. Well, "you live by the sword, you die by the sword", so now you can see from these comments, the shoe is on the other foot. It's hard to feel sorry for these hypocrites, but I do.

Republicans are sexual cheats. Which is worse what the Republicans are doing in the bedroom or the screw job we are getting by Obama and the Democrats. At least Ensign got a kiss goodnight. We do not get that from the democrats.
