I have to admit I just read the headline and top para, decide for yourself if this is an appropriate headline:


Sen. John Ensign sex scandal spreads to other Republicans

Sen. Tom Coburn and former Sen. Rick Santorum appear to have been involved in the scandal that brought down former Sen. John Ensign. A Senate Ethics Committee investigation could lead to criminal charges for Ensign.

Santorum is such a hypocrite. Coburn's new nickname needs to be "Dr. Enabler".


Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R) of Pennsylvania – who lost his reelection bid in 2006 and is now running for president on a platform stressing family values – learned of the Ensign affair in an email from Doug Hampton, Ensign’s former chief of staff and husband of Ensign’s mistress Cynthia Hampton.

Hampton reportedly was seeking Santorum’s help. But rather than reply to Hampton, Santorum forwarded the email to Ensign, tipping him off to the impending scandal.

As the episode continued, Sen. Tom Coburn (R) of Oklahoma became involved in negotiating financial payment to the Hamptons (which involved Ensign’s parents) – apparently as a way of settling the situation in a way that would limit political damage.

We haven't had an episode of Republican Sexcapades in a while.

I love seeing a little bit of egg in Santorum's face, but what I wouldn't give to see a headline reading: "Rick Santorum Arrested After Propositioning a Transexual Street Walker."

Nice. Santorum is no threat in Iowa.

Well, it's not little boys or bathroom stalls, but it's a start.
