Palin-Ensign 2012!

Disgraced and grotesque John Ensign could serve out his current term as the least significant person in the United States Senate free and clear of any and all legal complications, some beltway kids are reporting.

Ensign, who has always sucked very hard, briefly stepped into the glare of the national mainstream media's kleig lights (do they still use klieg lights?) earlier this year when it was learned that he got his filthy rich parents to pay his Aunt Judy to have sex with him.

Well, it turns out Uncle Doug is still miffed -- even after Ensign served as his agent, got on the horn with some cronies and juiced up a few phony but lucrative lobbying contracts for poor mistreated ol' Doug.

As might be indicated by the words "agent," "cronies," juiced," "phony," "lucrative" and "lobbying" (to say nothing of "Ensign"), that was maybe probably against the law.

But now "sources" in Eric Holder's Justice Department "privately signal that the case is a low-priority matter for them." Which means that maybe the only formal consequences Ensign will face will be those rendered by a Senate Ethics Committee investigation. Or as they say in Washington, "none."

C'mon, DOJ.  No matter how venal or atrocious Ensign's actions, it is incumbent upon the American legal system to extend Ensign the same rights as would be afforded any other person charged with crimes in a U.S. court of law. He deserves -- repeat, deserves -- a fair trial, and swift justice. And to all you naysayers, well, America has nothing to fear from the risk that John Ensign will get an opportunity to spew his vile and twisted ideology in a federal courtroom.

UPDATE: Should have mentioned, s'pose, that Uncle Doug "speaks out(!)" on Nightline (which evidently is still on the air) for your viewing pleasure.

So as not to turn into a show trial, a military tribunal would be appropriate.

A reality show vote would be more appropriate...

I'm starting to feel sorry for Sen. En. There are a lot of men out there who would love $96,000 and a couple of contracts from the guys their wife banged. In fact, lots of guys probably think they're sleeping next to a gold mine.

Damn Doug, be happy and move on. If/after she banged the UPS guy, I doubt you would bring/brought global shipping to its knees. If its more money you want, send her out on a new conquest. If you're pissed, go get your own groove on. Revenge is a dish best served naked.

Don't let JE get the sympathy he does not deserve. Make him suffer the eternal penalty all men must suffer when they get caught banging the secretary--an all-male office and expensive trips to Mexico to get your freak on.

And you can just go home to your wife and look at her and know that while she f#$%ed him, she really loves you!

No way! Palin-GIBBONS 2012!!

Ensign-Palin in 2012! Good ticket? You betcha.

Gibbons to serve in newly created post, Secretary of Depression. He has the necessary experience. And he'll need a job.

Ensign is worthless, no matter how anyone looks at it. Of course, he'll get away with violating ethics rules.
The Obama Admin. has far more pressing things to deal with that this POS.
But Nevadans will not forget. Enjoy your last term in office, Sen. Spray Tan.
And good riddance.

I just got through watching the vote to continue debate on health care that was conducted.

And I watched that asshole Ensign vote no.

A Republican through and through, does what he wants, pays money for what he considers to be slight sexual indiscretions and completely and utterly disregards the intentions of his constituents who clamor for health care reform. He had a chance to be a part of history. To do something for the American people that should have been done many years ago. And he blew it. He just successfully grouped himself in with the people who spend more time using the bill as a prop on a podium in front of them, decrying it is 2,047 pages long, using all those Republican keywords like government takeover, death panels, pay for abortions, blah blah woof woof ad infitinum. And he probably will spout the crap the other Republicans say they have a better idea. This is indeed crap. They had many, many times in the past to do sweeping health care reforms, but the need to make money and pursue sooper dooper capitalism ideals to make more and more money took precedence.

Go ahead on with yer bad self and stay the course of saying no and then running towards cameras/microphones to whip up more fearmongering, Ensign. I'm voting your dumb ass out. You're gone.

So, in answer to the original article, yes, please group him with Ms. Sarah Palin. It will help ensure her total and utter embarrassment and humiliation for another defeat the next time she tries for any lofty public office. The sad thing is, if this were to occur, it will ensure she writes another book. Because it will provide for more of her own perceived cannon fodder to blast away at people who she feels slighted her again.
