- ENSIGN’S PARENTS GIVING MONEY TO MISTRESSES AGAIN: Looks like Nevada’s two biggest money people, John Ensign’s mommy and daddy, are yet again dipping into their retirements for their son’s protection: “Mike and Sharon Ensign, who made waves in July after admitting to giving $96,000 to Ensign’s mistress and her family, each gave the maximum $4,800 in contributions to Reid’s campaign committee in the September, the Senate Majority Leader’s campaign disclosed in its third quarter fundraising report.” So how long have John Ensign and Harry Reid been sleeping together? [CQ]
“Daddy, can you pay my mistress again?”
“Of course, Son - but only if I shag her first. You can have sloppy seconds, just like you do with your mum.”
How Las Vegasy! In blackjack, you buy insurance from the dealer when he shows an ace.
Ensign’s dad is a big ‘gaming’ (crooked games backed by the Mob) executive so there’s plenty of dough to go around. Gambling is to Nevada as oil is to Texas so no matter the political party, what goes on in Vegas stays in Vegas. Or a Swiss bank account.
Spreading the wealth around is ok as long as you spread your seed with it?
I look forward to our new sperm soaked socialism.
Despite being on opposite sides of the partisan divide, Reid and Ensign have an unofficial non-aggression pact, and Reid has remained silent on his colleague’s admission over the summer that he had carried on an affair with Cynthia Hampton, a staffer and wife of one of his top aides, Doug Hampton.
Gee, and I’ll bet Reid wonders why everyone thinks of him as spineless.
bago: Our cocaine-tainted dollars need new contaminants!
Reid has been in bed with all of the republicans for years. He’s a sternly-worded-memo-writing slut that way.
Maybe, as staunch Republicans, the Ensigns want to make sure Reid is reelected out of fear the Dems might pick a majority leader who doesn’t do whatever the Republicans want if he goes down.
chascates: chascates: As a sometimes gamer, it’s always annoying, and confusing when papers & marketers refer to gambling as “gaming”. No, “gaming” is what you do on a computer or console & television, with hands on a control pad or keyboard & mouse; what you do in a casino is called “gambling”.
SayItWithWookies: Reid has big love for Ensign’s latter-day tendencies.
Doesn’t this mean that Ensign and Reid have broken up?
but… but… but… Ensign said “It’s not a ‘Brokeback Mountain’ situation”. At least back in 2006. But mebbe it’s changed– or he wasn’t ready to come out of the closet?
JMP:
Old PR tactic to make gambling more family friendly.
“Nonononono. It’s NOT Gambling. It’s really just games with money and when you lose all your money and you can’t pay THEN we take your car and crush your head into a vice.”
giving harry reid money is probably the best way to fuck the democratic party as a whole. I mean seriously.
Cash farting Republicans want to see Reid re-elected? Boy that’s weird.
SayItWithWookies: Oh, that explains it. Ensigns parents buy Reeds silence on Ensigns illegal mistressy affairs.
What is the word for that, ummm, wondering?
Crank Tango: The health insurance corporations know this too. hey, Harry is their biggest cash expense!
Way Cool Larry: although not Brokeback, it was a family affair. Ensign paid the husband and the son of his mistress with campaign cash. For what, I can only speculate.
Maybe their cash donations came with a note that said “Buy your OWN rocksalt, bitch!”
$96,000 was for fucking another man’s wife. %9,600 is more likely just a back-seat handjob.
Ensign’s mom probably still changes his diaper every night, too.
I wonder if Mummy and Poo-Poo paid for his Personal Assistant at UNLV. I’ll double down on that bet.
Ensign’s the butch and Reid’s the bitch.
the Anti-Defamation League awards dinner was last night in Las Vegas. John Ensign was a ADL honoree
It’s not a Brokeback Mountain situation, Jim.

Maybe Reid has pictures.
“Michael Ensign is a former casino executive with Mandalay Resort Group, and he and his wife have been major Republican donors throughout the years. Federal contribution records show that they also gave $10,000 each to the state Democratic Party in 2008, and gave to Democratic 1st District Rep. Shelly Berkley during her 2006 re-election campaign.
The September donations are not the Ensign’s first to Reid, who has been a friend to gaming interests during his time in the Senate. They also gave $4,000 each to the Democrat for his 2004 election, which he won comfortably.”
Gawd; that whole family is fool of hoo-wahs, as they say in Jersey. As someone else said, gambling is to Vegas what oil is to Texas. They aren’t ideologues; this is protection money. To pay your guy or girl and his or her opponent is the height of whoredom.
Man, I wish Oscar Goodman was a senator. At least his illegal, mafia-backed antics would be adorable and endearing. Ensign and Reid are two of the sorriest, douchiest senators in America. Just fucking pitiful.
BTW, just to show you how amazing Goodman would be as a senator, he was speaking at a Vegas elementary school back in ‘05, and one of the kids asked him what he’d take on desert island, and the mayor replied “a showgirl and a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin”. Of course, this didn’t go over so well with the media and parents, and when asked to reply he said: “I’m the George Washington of mayors. I can’t tell a lie. If they didn’t want the answer, the kid shouldn’t have asked the question.”
This man could be your United States Senator, Las Vegas. You just have to make is so.
