By: David Dayen Saturday May 8, 2010 12:54 pm

John Ensign, The $50 Man

By: David Dayen Wednesday April 21, 2010 4:50 pm

Corrupt adulterer and Republican Senator John Ensign isn’t up for re-election until 2012. That’s a good thing, because his total fundraising take for the first quarter of 2010 wouldn’t pay for pens and pencils for the campaign office that he couldn’t afford rent on.

Showing That Someone Cares: GOP Starts to Push Out Ensign

By: David Dayen Thursday April 8, 2010 12:03 pm

The troubles of Sen. John Ensign have finally dawned on Republican leaders in Nevada.

Let’s hope Kevin Garn’s so-far-remarkable step, as a GOP, of actually resigning his office wakes up our media. So that when the next pervert is revealed (and you know another one will be, perhaps soon) our wise media gatekeepers will say, “Hey, Kevin Garn resigned, shouldn’t you too?”

By: emptywheel Monday November 9, 2009 6:04 am

And speaking of C Street, it looks like the moralizing hypocrites at C Street are shopping for a new roomie. Sen.
