Husband Of Ensign Mistress Wanted To Blab To Fox News

She knows about the Law.Sorry, folks! This is what passes for SEXY SEX SCANDAL NEWS this June, while “important news” such as the incipient Iranian revolution and doomed healthcare reform dominate our boring news channels. Doug Hampton, the husband of that lady John Ensign had sex with, wrote to Megyn Kelly at Fox News five days before Ensign confessed to the affair. And in the letter he said, in effect, Ensign is such a douche! I am blabbing to you, Megyn Kelly, because you are a lawyer!

Megyn Kelly, everyone! She is a lawyer, apparently!

Did she actually receive this letter, or respond to it in any way? Who knows, she’s not telling.

But at the very least it looks like maybe the whole “Ensign went public cuz he was extorted” story is a dead end, since neither the police nor the FBI are looking into any blackmail schemes. However, the “Ensign wanted to get out in front of Fox News” story seems fairly plausible, especially since a spokesperson for the senator said that they knew Hampton had contacted Fox before the senator held his EXPLOSIVE news conference on Tuesday.

Oh and here is a juicy bit:

Hampton also wrote that he and others had confronted Ensign about his “unethical behavior and immoral choice” on a number of occasions over the past year.

“In fact, one of the confrontations took place in February 2008 at his (Ensign’s) home in Washington D.C. with a group of his peers,” Hampton added. “One of the attendees was Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma, as well as several other men who are close to the senator.”

Don Tatro, a spokesman for Oklahoma Republican, said late Thursday that Coburn had no comment.

Who were these “other men,” and why did they not send letters to Megyn Kelly at Fox News back in February of 2008? And why are these Republicans all such drama queens, that they would have group “confrontations” all in front of poor Tom Coburn when he had rampant lesbian bathroom sex to prevent?

    crickets…..

  2. Gorillionaire says at 11:20 am, June 19th, 2009

    How do you pronounce “Megyn”? Is it like “Me Gin”? That would be a cool name.

  3. Lascauxcaveman says at 11:24 am, June 19th, 2009

    Rampant lesbian bathroom sex? Unless you’re talking about a big heart shaped bathtub with and lots of bubbles, some champagne and maybe Vivaldi playing in the background, I’m not watching.

    Coarse, random public-restroom-hookups are for old closeted GOP queens, not teh sexy lesbos.

  4. BillyClubb says at 11:24 am, June 19th, 2009

    Hampton also wrote that he and others had confronted Ensign about his “unethical behavior and immoral choice” on a number of occasions over the past year.

    All Ensign got was a high-five, which is not exactly what people generally mean when they use the term “confronted”.

  5. El Pinche says at 11:24 am, June 19th, 2009

    So where does Jesus fit in all this?
    Also, I want Megyn to rape with her mouth.

  6. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 11:25 am, June 19th, 2009

    just a guess here, but a dipshit republican staffer whose wife was schtupping their boss might seek out megyn kelly not for legal advice but for the possibility of sympathy ass.

  7. Larry Fine says at 11:25 am, June 19th, 2009

    Is that her real nose, or did a surgeon give it to her?

  8. Mark Sanford says at 11:27 am, June 19th, 2009

    For Big Tom, it is UNACCEPTABLE that these lezbos might ruin bathroom sex for the rest of us.

  9. RoscoePColtraine says at 11:28 am, June 19th, 2009

    Hey John, adultery isn’t the problem; it’s your shameless hypocrisy and bone-deep corruption. you’re more ‘bullshit’ than ‘bull ensign.’ BTW, fuck you.

  10. McDuff says at 11:29 am, June 19th, 2009

    Length of time it would take Megyn Foxy Newslady to report that DEMORAT Sen. So-and-So had sexy time with lady staffer — under 11 seconds, a new world record.

  11. 19kevin8 says at 11:29 am, June 19th, 2009

    I think I’m going to legally change my name to Kevyn, maybe that will help me get a job as a dithering blowhard on Fox.

  12. SayItWithWookies says at 11:30 am, June 19th, 2009

    Who were these other men — and more importantly, did he screw their wives too?

  13. How much was the Glamour Shot, Me Gyno? Was airbrushing extra?

  14. MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend says at 11:31 am, June 19th, 2009

    Why would he go to Fox, the Republican Propaganda network? He could have had his story actually aired had he contacted one of the liberal nutbags on MSNBC.

  15. El Pinche says at 11:31 am, June 19th, 2009

    El Pinche: me, that is.

    If this guy wasn’t evangelical christian and “promise keeper”, i wouldn’t really give a shit. But i can’t stand hypocrite assholes.

  16. Failed 2 Menace says at 11:31 am, June 19th, 2009

    If Megyn Kelly failed the bar, she had a head start on becoming a cat burglar. That chin could cut glass.

    Also, in his home intervention, Ensign was the Lucky Pierre.

  17. DoctorCulturae says at 11:32 am, June 19th, 2009

    Lot o’ weird (bad) photoshopping of that pix.

    Is she a Stepford Cougar?

  18. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 11:32 am, June 19th, 2009

    Near the end of the two-page, single-spaced document, he noted: “I could have sought the most liberal, Republican hating media to expose this story, but there are people’s lives at stake and justice is about proper process as well as outcome.

    So let me get this straight… Hampton took his story to FOX in order to get proper process and outcome? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  19. proudgrampa says at 11:34 am, June 19th, 2009

    Coburn - “Lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in Southeast Oklahoma that they’ll only let one girl go to the bathroom. Now think about it.”

    And just what do you think that one girl is doing by herself in the bathroom, huh? HUH?? Think about THAT!

  20. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:34 am, June 19th, 2009

    “Unethical behavior and immoral choice” At last a slogan the Republicans can rally around.

  21. ThreeFirstNames says at 11:35 am, June 19th, 2009

    Megyn Kelly went to Albany Law School, the end

  22. ThreeFirstNames says at 11:38 am, June 19th, 2009

    Failed 2 Menace:

    Thank you, “Lucky Pierre” was the credited response.

  23. Monsieur Grumpe says at 11:38 am, June 19th, 2009

    El Pinche:
    Agreed. The Promise Keepers at one time filled the Viking’s Dome in downtown Minneapolis with a bunch of those weeping hypocrites. I had the unfortunate experience of talking with a few of them, ugh, just ugh.

  24. Vewol Mevemont says at 11:40 am, June 19th, 2009

    Who gives birth to a child and says “gee, instead of naming this child “megan” or “meagan,” I’m going to go out of my way to use the latin prefix for vagina (gyn) in my bizarre spelling of a normal name”?

  25. Mark Sanford says at 11:42 am, June 19th, 2009

    proudgrampa: Yeah. What makes that statement even more ridiculous is that he’s talking about the area of Oklahoma they call “little Dixie,” the rural towns and suburbs of Fort Smith. Now I have no doubt that there are lesbians in little Dixie, but if my memory of the fuckwits I went to school with in the deep south is accurate, the odds are that these lesbians are spending more time crying in the bathrooms than having sex there.

  26. dijetlo says at 11:42 am, June 19th, 2009

    I respected the guy more when I thought he was pimping his wife for cash and valuable prizes. Now that we find out he was just offended by the moral pulchritude of the Republican party I’m more like…meh, join the club.

  27. Not_So_Much says at 11:51 am, June 19th, 2009

    Were the other men there for Doug’s wife too? What kind of train-pulling, bukkake bullshit is going on in that house??

  28. mookworthjwilson says at 12:05 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Lascauxcaveman: I’m thinking OK lesbos are not teh sexy lesbos…

  29. Holding Out for a Hero says at 12:19 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Why is it that no Republican can spell or use proper punctuation? Is MS spell-checker considered to be of the Devil?

  30. lawrenceofthedesert says at 12:20 pm, June 19th, 2009

    If Hampton had been from Chicago, he wouldn’t have confronted Ensign about his “unethical behavior and immoral choice.” Hamp would have purchased an aluminum baseball bat and used it on the jagoff for shagging his wife. (I guess some Promisekeepers aren’t Commandmentkeepers; that must be a separate cap and decoder ring.)

  31. liquiddaddy says at 12:24 pm, June 19th, 2009

    It makes me sick the way you twisted perverts around here can’t appreciate decent God-fearing opposite-sex involving quick Missionary-style coitis in a darkened room followed by prayer and crying the way Nature intended.

  32. S.Luggo says at 12:28 pm, June 19th, 2009

    “Hampton said he sought Fox News’ help out of desperation.” So has most of the Republican Party.

  33. Alaska Girl says at 12:35 pm, June 19th, 2009

    “Don Tatro, a spokesman for Oklahoma Republican, said late Thursday that Coburn had no comment.”

    Is heterosexual sex so rare amongst Republicans it leaves them nonplussed? Maybe there is something more to the declining numbers of Republicans, not enough breeders.

  34. One Yield Regular says at 12:53 pm, June 19th, 2009

    I keep flashing on “Eyes Wide Shut” while imagining that confrontation of peers at Ensign’s house.

    Also: Promise Keepers? Spiritual hypochondria for the the oppressed-white-Christian-male-why-should-I-pay-child-support soul.

  35. TeddyS says at 1:12 pm, June 19th, 2009

    We want to keep this on the down-low, real quiet like, so we will only speak to peoples what luvz Republicans…like my wife, who maybe carries it a bit too far on occasions. She says he had a really small weenie, even with the Viagra give to him by Senator Dole. By the way, I always forgive the slut if she tells me every wet detail afterward.

  36. Extemporanus says at 1:17 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Sounds like Senator Cockburns is the only lame-o in this whole tepid tale who hasn’t spent some time in the Hamptons.

  37. CthuNHu says at 1:19 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Boy, I can’t wait until this adulterous hypocrite gets driven out of the Senate, and an honorable person appointed in his place by the Governor of Nevada.

    Oh. Right. Well, it was a thought.

  38. Oldskool says at 1:34 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Note to self: if girlfriend splits, email Fox news-bunnie for “help”.

  39. charlesdegoal says at 2:42 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Vewol Mevemont: Gyn actually comes from the ancient Greek word for woman or female. Still a weird name.

  40. digibal235 says at 2:56 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Hahahaha.

  41. chascates says at 3:12 pm, June 19th, 2009

    How many colleges did Megyn Kelly attend before she got her degree?

  42. NYNYNY says at 4:55 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Hey, the affair woman wrote a great article about how Jehovah’s Witnesses suck http://www.towerwatch.com/Testimonies/cynthia_hampton.htm — there’s also a picture of her.

  43. Red Baron says at 5:37 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Well, the media and Dems have been sitting on the Rep. Loretta Sanchez adultery story for a year now. This is a bi-partisan game. When the media finally reports on this, it will make the Ensign affair seem tame! Google: loretta sanchez scandal. See this recent post–http://latinopoliticsblog.com/2009/06/02/the-making-of-the-%E2%80%9Cloretta-sanchez-scandal%E2%80%9D/

  44. SlipperyDick says at 5:37 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Megyn sure has that uptight Republicyn look going. Something about the face reminds me of Terminator - like there might be a metal skeleton behind the smile.

  45. FormerDCite says at 6:45 pm, June 19th, 2009

    Cynthia Hampton, the one who wrote the Jehovah’s Witness article, makes Monica Lewinsky look like a super model. If the Honorable Senator from Nevada was tearing that up,…oophs! I just threw up in my mouth a little.

  46. LtColBatboy says at 12:43 am, June 20th, 2009

    Actually “cunna” is the latin word for vagina, yep ladies you can pin the c-word on those orgiastic rascals in Rome (the Berlasconis). It has been corrupted into “con” in argotic French giving a special meaning to the term “neo-con” in the city of light,,,,,,Mais oui cherie!

  47. zhubajie says at 8:13 am, June 20th, 2009

    “And why are these Republicans all such drama queens, that they would have group “confrontations” all in front of poor Tom Coburn when he had rampant lesbian bathroom sex to prevent?”

    Because the Repubs are not a political party, they are a cult! These are cult brainwashing sessions! Like the old-time struggle sessions in the Cultural Revolution!

  48. zhubajie says at 8:17 am, June 20th, 2009

    19kevin8: I’ve always wondered how you get to be a pundit or one of these megabucks media pigs. Do you have to be ignorant? With a narrow range of life-experiences? Does someone who’s studied 10 languages and lived in several foreign countries (and not as a journalist) have a chance?

    Zhu Bajie

  49. zhubajie says at 8:22 am, June 20th, 2009

    lawrenceofthedesert: The Chicago Way. Although I suggest the wooden bat, as less likely to be picked up on the metal detector. But yes, it’s been too many years since a Senator was beaten senseless on the floor.

    Zhu Bajie

  50. zhubajie says at 8:25 am, June 20th, 2009

    liquiddaddy: It’s never happened to me, but friends swear that the girls they were f***ing witnessed to them while they were in the act. Perhaps it says something about the quality of their technique….

    Zhu Bajie

  51. zhubajie says at 8:33 am, June 20th, 2009

    NYNYNY: What a dope. Ugly, too. Sorry, but why don’t these horny pols get good looking women?

  52. thefrontpage says at 11:36 am, June 22nd, 2009

    Megyn Kelly for Senator! All Senators should look like Megyn Kelly.

  53. DanielG says at 11:04 am, June 24th, 2009

    Mistress looks a little like Lily Tomlin. Sorry Mr. Husband -of-same: ixnay on the extortion attempts for that reason.
    We’ve all got our standards …
