Couple In (Senator) Ensign Scandal Could Lose Home
Source: fox5vegas

LAS VEGAS -- A Las Vegas couple ensnared in a sex scandal involving Republican Sen. John Ensign could soon lose their home.

The Las Vegas Sun reported that the home of Doug and Cindy Hampton will be auctioned off next month unless the couple pays $1.3 million to a Bank of America subsidiary.

Ensign confessed last year to having an extramarital affair with Cindy Hampton. The Hamptons and Ensigns had been close friends for years, and the couple both worked for the senator.

Ensign is under federal investigation for potential ethics violations after his parents gave nearly $100,000 to the Hamptons. Ensign also helped Doug Hampton gain employment with a lobbying firm.

Hampton has said he is now unemployed and unable to find work since the affair was made public.

4. Boo hoo. A Rethug adulteress and her extortionist husband can't afford a $1.3 million mortgage.
Anyone have a spare rat's ass they feel like giving?

"Hampton has said he is now unemployed and unable to find work since the affair was made public."

Sure, no one is hiring him because his wife had an affair. No other reason.


Rethugs: shameless and brainless.
