Oh man! I just mentioned below that John Ensign was on CNN bloviating about terrorism. And I noted how I was a little tired of him going on to talk about topics he doesn’t know anything about before he answers a lot of key questions about his own scandal — not about the sex but about pay offs involving federal money and violation of lobbying laws. But then Rick Sanchez turned the tables on Ensign and started asking him very pointed questions about the scandal.
It seems very clear that Ensign had no idea this was coming. Not sure if he explicitly violated ground rules. But Ensign did not appear to be prepared.
Not to get lectured by Sen. John Ensign on terrorism until he explains how a man who’s over 50 has to have his mom and dad pay off his mistress’ husband so he won’t talk about his affair. Just ain’t gonna do that no more.
