Mom can your pay my mistress $96k? -- Thanks!


The disclosure of the April 2008 payment seemed intended to head off growing questions about whether Ensign violated federal law by failing to report what Doug Hampton called a severance package worth more than $25,000 TO his wife Cynthia, who left Ensign's campaign staff on April 30, 2008.http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0709/24748.html#ixzz0KnpXLzRi&D

FOXNews: The plot thickens, and gets increasingly bizarre, in the case of Sen. John Ensign's affair.
The Nevada Republican, through a written statement by his attorney, admitted Thursday that his parents paid the family of his mistress nearly $100,000 last year.
The admission came shortly after Doug Hampton, his mistress' husband, first told a Las Vegas reporter that the senator paid his wife a hefty severance. Hampton also said that Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and others originally had urged Ensign to pay the Hamptons "millions."
