Divorce and Politics

“I can honestly say that being a United States Senator has been the honour of my life. While I stand behind my firm belief that I have not violated any law, rule, or standard of conduct of the Senate, and I have fought to prove this publicly, I will not continue to subject my family, my constituents, or the Senate to any further rounds of investigation, depositions, drawn out proceedings, or especially public hearings. For my family and me, this continued personal cost is simply too great.”


Admission of guilt, was the speech an admission of guilt to the ethics investigation? Who tipped him off? Worst than using his family as a buffer, can’t Ensign be real by saying, “It has been a pleasure to serve the people of Nevada, but I am going to retire from politics and spend more time with my family.”


The Senator is thinking about his family now after this insanity surrounding the career of key Senators in the U.S. Senate? I bet John Ensign returns to Doug Hamptons wife in the same manner Mark Sanford reunited with his soul mate after Jenny Sanford finally moved out of the house. Ensign said, “Our families were close. That closeness put me into situations which led to my inappropriate behaviour. We caused deep pain to both families and for that I am sorry.”
