Beleaguered Sen. John Ensign (R-No Comment) got chatty this week at a Chamber of Commerce event in Fernley, Nev., that marked his first public appearance in his home state since announcing his extramarital affair.

A week after being called out by a fellow Republican for his prolonged silence, Ensign told the Associated Press on Wednesday that, unlike President Clinton and former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, whom he strongly chastised for their indiscretions, he shouldn’t consider resigning.

"I haven't done anything legally wrong," he said, though a Washington watchdog group thinks investigators could possibly come to a different conclusion. snip

Ensign, a social conservative who has also railed against gay marriage, belongs to the Christian ministry Promise Keepers, whose members adhere to seven vows. Here are two of them:

No. 3: A Promise Keeper is committed to practicing spiritual, moral, ethical, and sexual purity.

No. 4: A Promise Keeper is committed to building strong marriages and families through love, protection and biblical values.

1. But, but, but....he did nothing ILLEGAL!

I mean, besides possibly using public monies to pay for his squeeze, hush money paid from his family, and whatever else might be uncovered in the near future, he's clean as a whistle.

2. Another Bible-thumping hypocrite.
