"Sen. John Ensign will no longer be a senator effective May 3. The embattled Nevadan is resigning his seat after 11 years amid a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into his dealings with the former staffer turned lobbyist that he cuckolded (okay, one more time).
Ensign's rationale for retirement is a tried-and-true one: the investigation is putting too much pressure on his family. This is a fair statement. These investigations tend to put extreme pressure on family members involved, particularly when the matter is so personal. While this may be a fair excuse it also belies the fact that the committee investigation into Ensign was likely getting too close for comfort."
