“Checks and Balances”

Senator John Ensign, who admitted last month to an affair with a former campaign aide, said that his parents gave his mistress a $96,000 check, “out of concern for (her) well being… during a difficult time.” This raises two ethical questions. Was Sen. Ensign really that bad in bed? And how would his parents know that?

Ensign’s own Republican colleagues have been harshly critical of Ensign’s parents’ involvement. They say Ensign should pay for his own sexual trysts like the rest of the Senate.

Even John Edwards was like, “Hey, at least I never paid for it.”
