I agree that he's a hypocrite but why should he resign for having sex?

And, it was the media that did that - trying to deflect the attention away from what was REALLY going on.

Face it - if Clinton had not LIED UNDER OATH - this would have not been an issue.

he's only a hypocrite if he said "Don't have extra marital sex."

Why should he be allowed to stay on, when others have been forced to leave? Yes, President Clinton stayed on, but he was greatly harmed by it, and he never judged others in like situations. Ensign is in no place to judge others while his own character is lacking. The whole speck of dust and log in the eye, don't cha' know!

By the time he runs for higher office (if he were to do so), this will be old irrelevant fodder.

That doesn't make any sense....If a politician is so concerned that their qualifications is based upon them keeping it in their pants, then they should keep it in their pants....I could care less who is screwing who as long as they could do the job..

Ensign Quits Senate GOP Leadership Post After Admitting Affair

Well, there goes a GOP hopeful...
Why would you or any lib care? Wasn't your high priest president getting his knob shlopped in the oval office by someone other than his wife? Or, (more likely) is it just a bad thing when it's someone not in your party?

Could be he's afraid of the stories the aide might be able to tell.

He could have been into wearing lacy underwear, whips and chains, diapers, erotic asphyxiation - the possibilities are endless.

So you are saying that Larry Craig has a chance for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination too?
