Political insiders in the Senate and in Nevada told POLITICO that Ensign began an affair with a staffer several months after he separated from his wife.

This just doesnt strike me as scandalous. He and his wife were not together at the time.

Have the reading comprehension standards on FreeRepublic fallen that badly? Seems at least a half dozen posters haven't bothered to notice that the woman Ensign was fooling around with was married. Hence the whole "having an affair" thing.
