Good grief.

[Palladin]

So, the “hush” money didn’t work?

[ScottinVA]

“If I had listened to him things would have been a lot better off.”

Yeah, no s**t, John.

[C19fan]

Ready to hang myself. It appears Zero, Pelosi and Reid might take the Donkeys down with them and now losers like Ensign and Sanford are giving them get out of jail cards.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

So Coburn’s now gotten himself involved in this mess?

[Recovering_Democrat]

The adultress wanted MORE money...Ensign said no. He went public, admitted the affair, and is going to have to weather the storm.

KEEP YOUR NOSE CLEAN, CONSERVATIVES.

Props to Coburn for telling Ensign to stop it.

Ensign was advised by the Fellowship. Joy.

'In mid-February, Hampton said he realized the affair was continuing and asked four friends — including Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) — to confront Ensign. The four men, all members of the Fellowship Foundation, a Christian prayer organization, urged Ensign to write a letter to Cindy Hampton making clear the affair was over.

It was Coburn and the Fellowship Foundation members, Hampton said, who urged Ensign to pay off the Hamptons' house and move them to Colorado. In a statement provided to the Las Vegas Sun, a Coburn spokesman confirmed the Oklahoma senator's involvement.'

"After the senator told his parents about the affair, his parents decided to make the gifts out of concern for the well-being of long-time family friends during a difficult time,"

That's some high-priced bullshit.

The Hamptons blackmailed Sen. Ensign. Nothing they say can be believed. Sounds like Coburn tried to get Ensign to put an end to it, but he would not.

[Ann Archy]

His PARENTS paid off the Blackmail?? OMG! That is disgusting.

[freespirited]

I agree, they dont sound like saints either.

[colorado tanker]

Mighty expensive piece of tail.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Who’s on deck in Nevada?

[pissant]

At least Sanford didn’t ask his momma to pay off the argenitine babe.

[Lurker]

his parents decided to make the gifts out of concern for the well-being of long-time family friends during a difficult time,"

You mean people don't cough 100 G's your way when you're facing hard times? That sh** happens to me almost every day.

[LeonardFMason]

Right after the HABITUAL DRUG ADDICT Patrick Kennedy. I am sick of “throwing the baby out with the bathwater” mentality. Why are we so quick to jetison folks who make mistakes. How PURE must a politician be? So many on FR were ready to throw Ted Stevens out. Now were stuck with an absolute liberal asshole and Ted Stevens has been exonerated.

[Kimmers]

I know of a situation where the wife was cheating and her parents told the husband if you stay with her we will pay for your three children's college education.....also funded trips to Europe for 2 of the kids.....I can't help but wonder what will happen after everyone is done with college....

[apocalypto]

Yikes! Something smells. To buy some kinky photos?

[Venturer]

The Hampton’s are running a skin game. she has sx with Ensign and he walks in like he didnt know what was going on.

They both need to spend some time in jail.
