Associated Press - June 17, 2009 12:33 AM ET LAS VEGAS (AP) - Nevada Sen. John Ensign says he has no intention of resigning because of an extramarital affair. The conservative Republican says the affair was "the worst thing" he has ever done in his life. Ensign made a brief appearance before reporters in Las Vegas. He didn't take any questions. Ensign's spokesman says the affair was with a campaign staffer who was married to an employee in Ensign's Senate office. Neither has worked for the senator since May 2008. His wife did not appear with him Tuesday, but also released a statement saying she and her husband "have come to a reconciliation." In 2002, Ensign missed several public appearances and dropped all official business for about two weeks to deal with what his aides then described as a family matter. A person familiar with that episode said Tuesday the absence followed an earlier affair.

Wait a minute? We're talking about an affair with an adult member of the opposite sex? What kind of a Republican are we talking about here?

geez,
Nevada GOP Sen. Ensign Admits Extramarital Affair
Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.
