WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada has stepped down from his leadership post one day after admitting he carried on a marital affair with a woman who was on his campaign staff.
Get away w/what, having an affair? This is nothing new in case you're new to politics. I don't get where you're coming from. Did you forget the wringer that Clinton was put thru after his hanky panky w/Lewinski?
It makes you wonder, what else is he hiding? What else is about to come out? Was it really with a woman...For heaven sakes the only person he needs to answer too is his WIFE...

Exactly. I'm not sure why he's resigning just for having an affair. I personally don't think affairs have anything to do w/how to run a country.
What stigma. I don't see what the BIG deal is here. This man will not be the first to have an affair, and DEFINATELY will not be the last. Folks need to worry about their own personal life.
Certainly not the first, and certainly not the last. BUT, if he were to run for higher office, he'd rather have the dirty laundry aired now and let bygones be bygones instead of letting his opponent have "breaking news" ammunition that could cripple his candidacy. By the time he runs for higher office (if he were to do so), this will be old irrelevant fodder.
The monies to investigate President Clinton, were specifically at the request of Attorney General Janet Reno.
Additionally, and the left does not like to admit this but, the investigation was not over his affair, it was over two specific issues: Whitewater, and lying under oath - perjury - a charge he later plead guilty to.
Yes, but all the attention was paid to the cigar stuffin' episode ...
