Melanie Sloan and John Ensign

Melanie Sloan’s team at Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington follows the money. They investigate Ensign only to find out the Senator might be lying about his rent along with the other Senators at Washington’s C Street Christian commune. Melanie Sloan doesn’t hold back. Her citizen’s team files complaints against Kansas City’s Sam Brownback, Tom Coburn, of course. After all, these Senators and more were brought to John Ensign’s investigators as having living with Ensign at C Street. The names continued to come forward Wamp, Stupak, Doyle, Shuler, and DeMint. John Ensign implicated eight GOP members including Rick Santorum at the time I write this sentence. Tomorrow there will probably be more Republicans added to the chilly stew. The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics didn’t hold back on Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons either. Gibbons was awarded the prize for worst governor in the United States. Rumors floated around the pool from swimmers living part time in California that Arnold Schwarzenegger would have had an easier time running for re-election than Governor Gibbons and that says volumes. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the worst lawmaker on record in the Capital of Sacramento. Today is May 15. Three days ago when Ensign was being roasted by Barbara Boxer in Washington at the release of his ethics violations, Arnold’s wife decided to drop him for womanizing. I work with screenplay writers in Hollywood. They share offices with Casting Directors familiar with Arnold. Casting claims that Arnold can’t decide on his movies without his wife’s assistance. Casting claims that Maria made Arnold’s decision in Hollywood. So the fact remain, Maria made Arnold’s decisions in Sacramento, California as well as filmmaking adventures in Los Angeles. Yet Arnold Schwarzenegger was more popular with Jim Gibbons without a Governor’s Mansion in Carson City to live in. Melanie Sloan’s team found that the worst Governor Gibbons violated campaign finance law by accepting illegal corporate donations. Jim assaulted that cocktail waitress in Las Vegas. He used taxpayers money to push his affair forward as he was being investigated by Congress. He lied about his tax stand. And Gibbons got malicious towards reporters when the camera caught him spending tax payers money on a wife of a former supporter while on business in Washington DC. This nearly makes me giddy. My son might have a chance at the governor’s seat by the time he graduates from high school with the way scandals grow in the dry desert wind.
