I agree Ms. Clouthier that the media has different rules for covering scandals, wholly dependent on the politician’s party. One might expect therefore that an ambitious Republican aspirant to the White House would understand this and act accordingly. In this case, Sen. Ensign did not act accordingly. So, I suggest the primary issue is not the hypocrisy, but the stupidity. What on earth was Sen. Ensign thinking? How can we trust this man’s awful judgment and lack of self-control in the Office of the President of the United States. In this regard, Sen. Ensign becomes comparable to Pres. Clinton. Whether or not Sen. Ensign remains in the Senate is one issue. Another and a more important question is whether Sen. Ensign has demonstrated the character and judgment required of the office of POTUS. IMHO, the answer is no.
