Another member of the "family values" GOP had to admit today that he had an extramarital affair. This time it was Senator John Ensign, R-Nevada; described as a "rising star" in the wing-nut camp, and occasionally mentioned as a 2012 Presidential candidate.
.
You can read all about it here. I suspect this one's gonna get messier. If you believe Ensign's peeps, the dalliance ended last August. So why announce it now? It sounds like someone told him, "Either you go public, or I will" and had the evidence to back up the threat.
.
Then again, what can we expect from a party who's #1 star right now is Noodling Newt Gingrich, who seems to go to bed with every secretary he hires? Yeah. Family values, my sphincter.

Oh yeah, it got messier alright. Real fast. It turns out doofus Ensign had an earlier affair (in 2002), so this isn't his first indiscretion. Also, he's a member of the Christian ministry "Promise Keepers". Oopsie. Maybe it's time to join "Hypocritical Politicians for God" instead,
