Yesterday's New York Times story about John Ensign's sleazy and despicable activities was striking. I don't think we've seen anything this scummy in the United States Senate in years.
We know Republicans wont say a word about it. They could care less about charges of hypocrisy. But why aren't Democrats...including Nevada Democrats Harry Reid and Dina Titus, calling for his resignation?
Where is the DNC?
If the situation were reversed, you can bet your bottom dollar that the Republican noise machine would be screaming bloody murder day and night. Yet here we are with a United States Senator under Federal criminal investigation, and the Democrats aren't saying a word about it. To be fair, the DNC did fire this ad at the Republican Party in general:
While this is good stuff, it certainly isn't the kind of coordinated attack that is certainly justified by this man's behavior. Democrats in Nevada should kick it off. Follow it up by some calls from Congressmen. Then get some Senators involved in the butt kicking. How about if Robert Gibbs weighed in with a soundbyte or two? I'd be on the attack non-stop. If Tim Kaine has nothing better to do since he's no longer Governor of Virginia, how about going on offense for a change?
Ensign would be a good place to start.
