John Ensign Moves Out of Storied C Street House
Nevada Sen. John Ensign, who admitted to an affair with his best friend's wife earlier this year, has moved out of C Street House, a residence shared by a half-dozen Christian politicians, the Las Vegas Sun reports. The house became a hub of scandal involving extramarital affairs carried on by at least two residents -- Ensign and Rep. Chip Pickering. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford also sought counsel at C Street House about his affair with a woman from Argentina.Ensign is facing examination by the Senate Ethics Committee and may soon be the subject of a Justice Department inquiry. Despite reports that Ensign used his influence to pressure various parties to keep quiet about his affair, Ensign has maintained that he did nothing legally wrong and has promised to participate in any investigations.
Ensign chose to leave the residence because of his association with scandal, and the Sun reported that he left without pressure from any of his colleagues. He moved to C Street House in 1995 after being elected to Congress.

NY23rd was a GOP MORTAL LOCK, but.....AMERICA STILL REJECTS their lying, BS, cowardly clown leaders. Only ass backwards GOP supporters see losing a seat they had for 100 years as a WIN. Healthcare reform passed the HOUSE with 220 votes, they needed 218......so subtract the 2 SEATS the GOP lost LAST TUESDAY, and the ONE republican who voted yes,and ....drum roll please.........217.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA....SUCKERS.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA....SUCKERS.

Mr.PAn,
Couple problems chief. Rangle ASKED for investigation and inquiry to his finances.
Ensign, like Sanford, Compromised NATIONAL SECURITY, how you say? By putting themselves in a position to be BLACKMAILED, and extorted, ENSIGN fed into and PARTICIPATED in the BLACKMAIL, and Sanford was dealing with a REPORTER from ANTOHER COUNTRY. BOTH should of immediately LOST their NATIONAL security clearances.
It was PAST a dumb mistake, or bad JUDGMENT, it was a COMPROMISE of our NATIONAL SECURITY.....and not to be screaming for their immediate resignations, is past cowardice, it is being a TRAITOR.
If you try to spin it to Rangel or Clinton is typical GOP chumpness.

You have to understand the Modern Republican, buster.
Like nearly all Modern Republicans ... Pete is simply asking for SPECIAL TREATMENT.
See, when a REPUBLICAN is found to be a Moral Fraud ... the first response is ALWAYS ... "WHAT ABOUT DEMOCRATS!".
Of course ... Democrats DO engage in infidelities ... it's an unfortunate happenstance.
The PROBLEM is ... it ABSOLUTELY happens among REPUBLICANS to an EXTRAORDINARY degree!
Now ... this would not necessarily be cause for alarm .... HOWEVER ...
The Modern Republican Party CLAIMS to be the MORAL PARTY ... why ... just 2 decades ago ... they were outraged ... OUTRAGED I say ... by Bill Clinton's infidelity.
And yet ... as we've all learned ... The Modern Republican is a veritable REPOSITORY ... of Adulterers.
If you have any doubt ... just look at their last selection of Presidential Candidates ...
Rudy Giuliani ... ADULTERER.
Fred Thompson ... ADULTERER
John McCain ... ADULTERER.
See?
The Modern Republican Party is simply another phrase meaning ... HYPOCRISY.

Rudy fell in love with Marty Feldman.
Thompson fell in love with little sister.
McPissypants took advantage of a chick who was passed out.

GOPPY - you left out Newt, who was having an affair with a House of Reps employeee more than 2 decades his junior. While Newt was running around on his wife, he was leading the impeachment against President Clinton for running around on Hillary. Do as I say, not as I do.

I voted for Ensign, and didn't know he was in a christian house? until now. He's not up for re-election for a few more years, and we in Nevada are too disgusted with Reid to deal with Ensign right now. His time will come. If you are trying to preach to Nevada about adultry..you are barking up a tree. We invented the quick divorce, the quick marriage, and kept Legalized Prostitution. It's a big yawn here, regardless if it was Cigar Wille, or John the John Ensign. We care about our liberatarian needs. Afterall we are ground zero for a New Party in this country to be founded right here.
