…after it was discovered that he is not much of a “ family values “ kind of guy after all. Mr. Ensign has been investigated for the last 2 years over ethics violations and a few other goodies. He did admit to having an extramarital affair with a former staffer. Source
It has always made me laugh at these clowns since it seems as if the majority of these “ family values “ Republican clowns seem to not practice what they preach to everyone else.
Ensign announced in June 2009 that he had an extramarital affair with Cynthia Hampton, a former member of his campaign staff, and that he had helped her husband, Doug Hampton, a member of his Senate staff, obtain lobbying work with two Nevada companies.
Doug Hampton has been indicted for illegally lobbying the senator's staff. Federal law prohibits a former senior Senate aide from lobbying the Senate for one year after terminating employment.
