Being a native Nevadan, I can tell you that the "rest of the state" is made up of extremely moral mid-western types. They will want him out. And even in "sinful" Las Vegas, there is a sizeable portion of the population that has a more mid-west mindset and will not likely tolerate Ensign's hypocrisy or any whiff of under-the-table payola. <br /><br />I didn't know his parents were casino owners. Gaming (as it's known in Nevada) is tightly controlled (Harry Reid used to be the State Gaming Commissioner). The Gaming Board will be yet another group of Nevadans who will be checking into the stench of the Ensign family.<br /><br />As you can probably tell, I can hardly contain my glee over seeing that self-righteous prig self-imploding.D.K.

Ensign never wanted us to know his parents paid the Hamptons $96,000, or that Cynthia Hampton received more than a $25,000 severance package, or that Coburn is as deeply involved in it as he is. Coburn now wants to hide behind his doctor/deacon confidentiality. I believe Hampton when he said that Coburn and others suggested paying off the Hamptons' house and helping them relocate to Colorado. That house on C Street is more of a den of liars and thieves than it is a residence for republicans of the Christian persuasion. They would look infinitely better if they would just tell the truth about the whole thing. In fact, I think it would cause people to reflect more favorably on the GOP. They have a bad habit of saying one thing and doing another. Vitter, Craig, Ensign, Gingrich, Foley, and Palin have done things contrary to their so-called "values," but are still accepted and respected members of the Republican Party.majiinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-7605868074806759642009-07-10T01:13:33.494-05:002009-07-10T01:13:33.494-05:00great job covering this and Palin..wow..so much......great job covering this and Palin..wow..so much...what a mess...and I am sure it is no where near over....(about Sanford- he keeps dropping off the headlines)...Ensign, what next ??<br /><br />so keep blogging it...<br /><br />so you are on facebook..I am too- would love to read you there..but dont know your whole name..<br /><br />take care..<br />sorry I have been so scarce..enigma4everhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589997090173140019noreply@blogger.com
