ENSIGN CLAIMS HIS AFFAIR LESS CONTEMPTIBLE THAN CLINTON’S

19 Aug 2009 // Washington, D.C. - Melanie Sloan, CREW’s executive director, made the following statement:

According to the Associated Press, Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), in his first public comment on his affair with the wife of his chief of staff, said that his affair was different from former President Bill Clinton's affair because Clinton committed a felony when he lied about it to a grand jury. Ensign stated earlier today, "I haven't done anything legally wrong."

Isn’t that a little like saying, “It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is?”

One politician comparing his illicit affair to another’s is a sure sign his career is in trouble.
