GOP silence on Ensign's ethics problems

[Roger Perry]

The second-ranking Senate Republican offered no support Sunday for embattled Sen. John Ensign, facing renewed criticism over an extramarital affair with an aide and the actions he took on behalf of her husband.
Asked on CNN's "State of the Union" if Ensign can serve effectively or should step down, Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., did not address his colleague's future and said he would await a Senate Ethics Committee investigation.
Kyl's sidestep followed on Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell's repeated refusals on Friday to answer questions about Ensign or pledge any support.

Nor should they.

Aside from the fact that it was an aide, extra-marital affairs are a benchmark of what in a politician ?

He doesn't have one. As usual, his only contribution to this board is to sling mud. I am just surprised that RP is capable of a post that does not refer to the evils of GWB.
