You can move the boy out of the house, but not the house out of the boy.

The arrogance of raw power is not diminished by the move to a new location.

Maybe when honesty prevails, he will understand that he is not serving Nevada interests with his current decisions.

It's obvious. He would appoint Dawn Gibbons to the seat. It's the one way he could get her out of the House.

UNLV should hire a "Real Coach" like UNR's Chris Ault. The Little General would look good in UNLV RED. UNR doesn't deserve such a great coach. Bet UNLV could hire him away cheap for a million or so. Wouldn't that make UNR mad with envy! They might even throw in their Athletic Director too. What a steal.....make the deal!!

With that empty chair, I guess Ensign's mistress didn't stick around for the ceremony.

Simple questions require simple answers:
1) Are two Reids too many? Yes.
2) Is one Ensign too many? Yes.
3) Is one Gibbons too many? Yes.

Family politics ought to skip at least one generation.

Political idiots ought to skip even the first generation.

Just send out a "Mistress Alert" and Ensign will show up to save the day.

"I haven't done anything 'legally wrong'," Senator Ensign said.

He kind'a sounds like Dick Nixon's: "I am not a crook!" Turns out he was!

What will Ensign turn out to be?

"Sen. John Ensign walked on a Lake Tahoe beach Thursday..., prepared to speak about the invasive Asian clams plaguing the lake."..."Ensign took a boat ride to check out the Asian clams for himself."

Now if only he had been as consientious and meticulous about trying to stop "...the invasive zipper clams...," he might have saved a lot of embarrassment for himself, his family and his State. The little buggers will get you every time, won't they John?

"I haven't done anything 'legally wrong.'" versus "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." Wow, what a difference. It took you three months to come up with this distinction? And now all is well in your world John? Both screwed. Both wrong. Both embarrassing. Sins of omission, or sins of commission. Way to stand up and be proud of your decisions. Great example for the kids and your parents as well. One day you will no doubt try to rationalize this episode some more, and it will strike the wrong chord with your wife and mistress, and they will call Mrs. Jenny Sanford for the phone number to Vogue Magazine. Then, what was good for the goose will cook the gander. Good luck in making the right choices in the future, but don't expect any empathy or sympathy for the poor choices to date.

Maybe no one asked him about the lurid details of his months of trysting and how he paid for it at his coming out party at Tahoe, but they were no doubt all snickering about it. Hope he didn't wash his hands in Lake Tahoe or it will never get clean.
