Ensign Resigns From Leadership Post
Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) has resigned his leadership position as chairman of the Senate Republican Policy Committee, the fourth-highest position in the Senate GOP conference, in the wake of yesterday's admission that he had an extramarital affair in 2007 and 2008.
Ensign had also previously served in another leadership post, as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee for the 2008 elections -- a cycle in which the GOP lost eight seats (counting Minnesota).

A little housecleaning before the health care debate? Too bad it would have been a good distraction during the back and forth.

That's a good start, but he insisted that Larry Craig and Bill Clinton both should have resigned their elected offices entirely. Gosh, I wonder if he'll set an example by leaving the Senate.
