I suspect that the Hampton's should be grateful that this wasn't 30 - 40 years ago when the "wealthy casino moguls and Las Vegas businessmen" were not quite as "generous" when it came to 'buying' the silence of someone who had wronged a member of their 'family'.

OCU

Who was bitching about Eliot Spitzer and his $2k an hour hooker?

Since when does your wife cheating on you entitle your family to all this money? Are we really supposed to believe that Ensign had this done out of sympathy for the financial plight of the family? This was a bribe to keep them quiet.

The economy is melting down, the Axis of Evil is threatening and Dems are worried about blow jobs.

Fox News spend weeks on Gov. Spitzer an his Hookers, how long do you think they will spend on Senator Ensign????? Haven't heard a whisper yet!!!
FAIR AN BALANCED my ASS!!!!

"the Axis of Evil is threatening"

Can't you just feel the danger!

The Axis of Evil....what a joke.

"This was a bribe to keep them quiet."

Ya think???

Yes, a bribe, sort of like the what was it, $20+ that Michael Jackson gave a needy deserving family because of his "friendship" with the young boy?

Yes, I think it was intended to buy silence. But it didn't work.

Remember that "A hard dick has no conscience." If you want eunuchs, elect them.

Maybe we should increase the minimum age for holding political office to 85. Then, we might find a significant decrease in the number of errant spouses. The officeholders would be readier by default to devote their flagging energies to civic matters.

Hanky panky could be a matter of reminiscence for them.

Hey Doug Hampton, it was your wife's fault, not the Senators. She was the one who "pledged allegiance" to you. II'll bet that she was not the first woman he propositioned, but she was the one who accepted. Dump her. Or don't you have any balls?

Axles of evil

"wheels are here to stay"

Michael Jackson was never elected to the US SEnate so really....I could give a shit what he did.
US Senators that demanded the resignation of Bill Clinton because of an extramarital affair should take their own advice when they get caught.
Hypocrity of the tenth degree, but will Republicans call him on it???

Senator Ensign's parents paid 96,000 dollars for a mattress?

That seems a tad excessive.

And he could still feel the pea underneath?

Well that's no good, is it?

Sorry, wot's that?

No DNRTFA, why do ask?

* reads article *

A mistress?

* Spud looks up definition of "mistress" *

Hmmm, "something between a mister and a matress".

Well that makes more sense but it's still excessive.

Also why is Ensign's parents paying fer his mistress?

He's a big Senator boy now he should pay fer his own mistresses.

FTA: The nine-month affair ended in August 2008 - some three months after the time both Hamptons left Ensign's staff.

So lemme get this straight. Ensign fucked another guys wife while they were both working for him?

Then he had his parents bribe the family including their two kids in order to keep a lid on the blowback from this latest Rtard sex scandal?

Ew.

Just ew.

And people wonder why a moron like Scary FAILin continues to be number one with a bullet on the GOP's potential POTUS chart.

With moral midgets like this shit-head as potential competition she really doesn't have much to worry about.

Be Well.

Ensign is my other douchebag Senator but I won't rag on him about this even though it wrong of him to cheat on his wife I don't believe he intended to and that he is sincerely apologetic that he did it.

But he's still a douchebag for championing an invasive species ("wild" horses) and doing the big casinos bidding.

You don't give a shit? Oh right, yoiu've got pscyerrhea not diarrhea. So, you give "emotion."

US Senators that demanded the resignation of Bill Clinton because of an extramarital affair should take their own advice when they get caught.

Should all federal officeholders who have extramarital affairs be ousted from office? Should this include those with homosexual involvements such as Larry Craig, or is homosexuality "not sex?"

Should the next President found in flagrante delicto also be removed? Is fellatio sex? Not according to Clinton. Should engaging in fellatio or cunnilingus be grounds for removal from office?

Would you support a Constitutional Amendment require removal of all federal officeholders from office, who violated their marriage vows? What if they took no marriage vows, just signed a civil license, and were married by a Judge?

Hypocrity of the tenth degree, but will Republicans call him on it???

That Clinton. He used public property for his tryst. Was the property provided for this type of activity? Did this Senator misuse public assets while conducting his affair? Hmm.

You surely sound like a blue nose, danni. And here I thought you supported relative rather than absolute values. Wait! You do. You want Democrats to be exempted from laws that should apply to Republicans. Got it.

Yes, a bribe, sort of like the what was it, $20+ that Michael Jackson gave a needy deserving family because of his "friendship" with the young boy?

And what state did Senator Michael Jackson represent? Was he a family Values candidate, a Promise Keeper who thought Clinton should resign for infidelity? When did the GOP suggest MJ could be presidential material?

And people wonder why a moron like Scary FAILin continues to be number one with a bullet on the GOP's potential POTUS chart.

I'll try to help, deth. For a name, conventional usage capitalizes only the first letter of each name. For Sarah Palin, this would require an upper case letter be used for Sarah, the "S," and for Palin, the "P." Your inability to even approximate the lady's name, which was determined by contextual clues is very sad indeed.

What's your prognosis, deth? Is your recovery possible? Let's hope so.

Wow.

That Johnson sure is smart.

And clever too.

"I won't rag on (Ensign) about this even though it wrong of him to cheat on his wife I don't believe he intended to..."

Riiiiiiiiight, He tripped, and his dick just fell into her vagina!

"That Johnson sure is smart.

And clever too."

"Is fellatio sex? Not according to Clinton."

Not according to you, either.

Riiiiiiiiight, He tripped, and his dick just fell into her vagina!

Frequently.

"Would you support a Constitutional Amendment require removal of all federal officeholders from office, who violated their marriage vows? "

Their marriage vows, or your marriage vows?

My exact vow to my lovely bride was, "I promise you an adventure." Would I therefore be kicked out if I didn't have an affair?

"Frequently."

Actually, he said 'infrequently', but then it turned out that was two words.

If you want eunuchs, elect them

What, Larry Craig and Mark Foley not good eunuch for the GOP?

Riiiiiiiiight, He tripped, and his dick just fell into her vagina!

Hey it happens to the best of us.

Unfortunately hardly ever the ones we deserve to fall into though

Did this Senator misuse public assets while conducting his affair? Hmm.

He put her and hubby on his payroll. I would imagine those are taxpayer funds.
I expect Clinton paid for his own cigars and Monica wasn't complaining about being misused.Hmmmer....

Wholly fucking Christ all mighty danni. Are you really that fucking stupid or are you just ignoraant? You know God Dammed well that Clinton got in trouble because he lied under oath. I swear to God that I am going to tattoo that to your fucking forhead. Every time you say this shit you are called on it and yet you still keep repeating it like it will eventually be true.

No wonder everyone thinks you are so fucking stupid. You give no reason to doubt that.

"I won't rag on him about this even though it wrong of him to cheat on his wife I don't believe he intended to..."
gimme a scotch

are you serious? you think he didn't intend to put his dick in that woman?

amazing.

are you serious? you think he didn't intend to put his dick in that woman?

He tripped in the shower...happens all the time.

"You know God Dammed well that Clinton got in trouble because he lied under oath."

...about an "extramarital affair".

Pretty much the reason why Clinton's approval rating did NOT take a hit.

And why the Democrats did NOT suffer in the mid-term elections in his second term.

You see, most people understand, not CONDONE, but understand lying about an extramarital affair.

Too bad people like sicko don't. And think that such condemnations resonate in a country where over 50% of heterosexual marriages end in divorce.

Because of extramarital affairs.

Which, by its nature, is lying.

Under oath or not.

Must suck to be someone like sicko. Or Senator Craig. Or Senator Ensign. Or Senator Vittner. Or Governor Sanford. Or any member of the party of "family values".

He tripped in the shower...happens all the time.

when's my turn?

awww, his pawents had to foot da bill cuz he lil peepee got into twouble!

I understand that stupid and I thought it was a witch hunt from the beginning. However, some people (danni)continue to say that Clinton was impeached becasue of a blow job and that is bullshit. He was placed under oath because of a blowjob but his lying under oath is what got him in trouble.

He should have been taken out back and had his ass kicked for touching that nasty skank in the first place.

How much did the Kennedy family pay the Kopechnes? The "champion of women's rights" left her to drown and the family paid them off. What's the difference? Ensign's lover is still alive.

"Ensign's lover is still alive."

And Laura Welch's isn't.

Neither is Ted Kennedy's, the "champion of women's rights."

"Ensign's lover is still alive."

And Laura Welch's isn't.

#35 | Posted by truthsetyoufree

Laura Welch didn't run off and sleep it off in a motel for 8 hours before calling the cops to report the accident. Welch was a teenager who had just turned 17 whereas Kennedy was a 37 year old married man and known boozer and womanizer with a starstruck 28 year old woman in his car under very questionable circumstances.

Apples and oranges doesn't even begin to explain the differences.

Kennedy made a mistake get over it. He tried to save that lady.

Kennedy made a mistake get over it.

A mistake anyone else would've gotten jail time for Mr. "Masters Degree"

Shit, listen to this crap.....kennedy????? Really?????

Are you idiots really going so far back down this direction to drum up negative political shouts?

You were not even aware of this when it happened, you were still daddy's little squirt!

Hey I ain't the one who bought it up and I was 16 years old and living in Massachusetts at the time it happened. Kennedy should've been convicted of manslaughter.

Gimme-
You do realize that "Jackass" is not a liberal Democrat but rather a conservative Bush troglodyte who says stupid things so you and others can riff on them as a response to 'what a liberal might say', right?

Or are you just stupid?

#39 | Posted by Gimme_a_Scotch

Not necessarily. With money you can get off on most any charge. And yes I do have a masters degree.

betelg is the idiot. I am a leftist and always will be.

Jackass-
You are a jackass, and that's about the only honest point in your posts.

#42 | Posted by BetelG

Jackass IS a liberal Democrat.

He says outlandish things on a constant basis to try and get a rise out of others and is usually pretty successful at doing so.

That doesn't change the fact that he's a liberal Democrat.

Jeff J.-
I don't find it difficult enough to believe that you really mean that.

Sorry.

Did you read his posts a PWZ?

"Did you read his posts a PWZ?"

Yes . . . not only that but I remember his participation in Rex's plot to destroy Rogers and the Drudge Retort.

Jackass is such a water boy, he'll say whatever it takes to get some attention from Rex. This "I'm a liberal" is just his latest cry for attention.

I'm guessing it will continue until Rex gives him the spanking he think he needs.

twinsack you are a tool that knows nothing.

Ted Kennedy..."champion of women's rights."
Hahahahahahaha.

I think twinspunk needs a fweind.

"Not necessarily. With money you can get off on most any charge. And yes I do have a masters degree."

In communications or sociology?

I think jackass said something about the IT field but whatever it was any institution granting him a masters degree is highly suspect.

Tom is still upset about being in a loveless marriage.

Don't yell the words hypocrite, asshole or douchebag too loudly or every democrap in the room will have whiplash from turning to see if you are yelling at them. DANNI just got out of the ER again with a severe case.

Fascinating read "The Family" then follow it to "The C-Street" Fellowship. Look at the "Who's who" of that group and who's been pulled in:

Sanford
Coburn
Zach Wamp
Bart Stupak
Jim DeMint
Mike Doyle
John Ensign
Sam Brownback

Explains why Sanford and Ensign haven't quit. They are "chosen" by God, and folks like Coburn (R-OK) have absolved them of any indiscretion because the mission they're on is beyond the lowly "people."

This also puts in context the bizarre analogy Sanford came up with when he spoke about Kind David.

Kind David=King David

I wonder if his parents also gave their little boy a spanking? What a fucking pathetic display of family values.

Who was bitching about Eliot Spitzer and his $2k an hour hooker?

Depends on how many times he boffed this kitten.

Ike was banging his female chauffeur on the government's dime! Nixon got impeached! A non-Republican president would have gone to jail, not get Repardoned!

You guys got anything from the last 4 decades?

I notice a similarity between the Mark Foley scandal and the John Ensign scandal in that Republicans, once again, covered up the scandal in hopes of retaining a Republican seat, who knows what other scandals they are still covering...

A non-Republican president would have gone to jail, not get Repardoned!

Yeah, sure, and the Civil War was over state's rights.

That's one thing they'll never hang on Dubya. He wouldn't tell you the time of day if he thought he was under oath.

#27 | Posted by sickoflibs

sickoflibsretarddude, You should tattoo your own forehead. Clinton did NOT LIE UNDER OATH! For the deposition sex was defined as INTERCOURSE ONLY!

Was it weaselly, sure. But he did NOT LIE UNDER OATH!

You guys were pissed about him getting some, pure and simple.
