What Is It With These Guys?

The truth about another conservative stalwart revealed:

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), who had been considering a 2012 presidential campaign, has now admitted to an extra-marital affair, and will hold a press conference later today in Nevada to explain it further.

Chris Cillizza reports that the affair took place between December 2007 and August 2008, with a woman who worked for Ensign's re-election campaign and his Battle Born leadership PAC. The Associated Press reports that the woman was married to one of Ensign's Senate staffers.

I guess that might help explain why he thought we needed an Act of Congress for the Defense of Marriage. If he's willing to sleep with the spouse of one of his staffers, who knows what might have happened if that spouse was a man? Eeek!
