Reality check taz, Ensign is resigning and no one is defending him.

Its you leftists who have the widely variable standards, note how Dark Steven bizarrely tries to justify it. Leftists assert because the GOP hasnt abandoned traditional familys altogether any Republican must be judged far more harshly if one has an affair...

Its that double standard (here and in the traditional leftist media) and the fact that so many of you stand behind it that people love to mock so much.

No, you and Ensign are evidence of a double-standard.

You slam Clinton but defend Ensign only because he is a Republican.

Ensign is being judged harshly because of his hypocrisy, he called for Clinton to resign but refused to do so himself for two years until it became clear he had his back against the wall.  Not to mention his speeches praising the sanctity of marriage.


Chronicle of John Ensign's rise and fall

Ensign attacked President Bill Clinton after Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky became public in 1998. Ensign said Clinton must resign, adding that "He has no credibility left."

.....Speaking on the Federal Marriage Amendment in the Senate in 2004, Ensign said: "Marriage is the cornerstone on which our society was founded. For those who say that the Constitution is so sacred that we cannot or should not adopt the Federal Marriage Amendment, I would simply point out that marriage, and the sanctity of that institution, predates the American Constitution and the founding of our nation."

Thank heavens for the liberal media that Governor Spitzer was able too keep that hooker thing hidden away from the missus.

Hey, the fuckin guy is resigning, so what?   He can't stand the heat, and gets out of the kitchen.

He withstood two years of the investigation while on the taxpayers' dole, and is hoping to somehow avoid criminal charges

No, Im mostly just ignoring you, you rarely make any sense. Take this post for example, how is this... even related? Dont most wild eyed leftists lie and try to say that FOX would never cover a story such as this?

What the fuck are you even getting at.

One thing though, kudos to FOX NEWS for proving they arent nearly as biased as many leftists try to claim they are.

And you still are apparently purposely ignoring the fact that it was Fox News that first reported the Ensign story.

So how is that reconciled with your open-minded "truth"?

Reporting a story isnt attacking, wtf. Ken Star was attacked, nonstop by the liberal media. The meme then wasnt president Clintons history of sexual harassment, the allegation of rape or his lying under oath, those things were hardly mentioned. Instead it was Republicans this and Ken Star that, how mean they were to dare to question the poor, poor rapist - and the attacks were brutal. I still recall the 'Clinton News Network' jokes, and when I see CNN now its still the same, theyre just an arm of the DNC as are PMS-MSNBC and Newsweek, the New York Times, CBS, Vanity Fair, AOL Time Warner, and so on.
