1. I'm going to guess it's the 10 year old love child angle. nt

2. John Ensign wasn't one of the biggest box office draws of the 20th century.

3. Is it because he might have actually commited a crime that could land him jailtime?

4. I think because our "media" feels
so powerful they can pick and choose the ones to beef up or take down.

6. ... because he wasn't a 'movie star' and didn't cheat on a woman from 'political royalty' ...

7. And why isn't Ensign receiving the same 24/7 coverage
as John Edwards?

Edwards wasn't a movie star. His wronged wife was not Hollywood royalty. Edwards wasn't even a serving United States senator when all of his scandal broke.

Inquiring minds want to know!

9. Remember the 24/7 on Gary Condit?
The only reason it stopped was due to 9/11, but before that Fox News had non-stop coverage of Condit.

10. Simple
IOKIYAAR.

Newt Gingrich (to name but one disgusting hypocritical and bottom-feeding Repig) could fuck a sheep in the main window of Macy's at noon and have it recorded for release over SheepTube on the internets in hopes of it going viral and the M$M wouldn't say one thing about it.

IOKIYAAR.
