Man, John Ensign brings new meaning to the words, Who’s your daddy?
A statement by his lawyer, Paul Coggins, on behalf of the Mr. Ensign, a Republican from Nevada, said that in April 2008 the senator’s parents each gave $12,000 apiece to Cindy Hampton, her husband, Doug, and two of their children in the form of a single check for $96,000.
“The payments were made as gifts, accepted as gifts and complied with tax rules governing gifts,” the statement read. Under federal tax regulations, $12,000 is the most that a person can receive as a gift from any one person without having to declare or pay taxes on it.
Ah, right, gifts.
Looks like the Republican pretty boy veterinarian got caught with his tale wagging. You know, since the pay offs to the woman he was sleeping with were made during the time of their affair. That they just meet the legal limit you can give, I’m sure, is a coincidence.
Hey, but let’s remember. John Ensign is really the model Republican for Nevada. A place where Gov. Gibbons’ own sex scandal seems to signal a standard for the Republican Party.
The GOP’s inappropriate sexual promiscuousness really goes well beyond Nevada. Take Gov. Sanford, Sen. Vitter, Sen. Craig… going all the way back to Newt Gingrich. So, don’t worry, John. After all, Republicans don’t really have anyone to take your place. They’ll take you just the way you are.
As for Democrats… Calling Shelley Berkley?
