1. Mandalay Bay? Isn't that Vegas? I thought that what happened in Vegas....

Stayed in Vegas...:shrug:

:P

[kestrel91316]

35. His adoptive dad founded Mandalay Bay. I think he's still on the BOD.

[Hepburn]

2. Isn't that his wife?

I am getting confuse! And so probably is he! :hi:

[orion007]

4. That's Darlene Ensign

Why the delay with media getting a photo of Cindy?
Guess the photo that was posted on web and on DU earlier might not be her.

[blogslut]

5. It's not

That was a photo of a woman that had the same name as Ensign's former mistress. Fortunately, that thread got disappeared.

[blogslut]

3. That's Darlene Ensign

44. I see your link has her as his wife. But check these links, both from the goog

[blogslut]

46. Sorry, those sources are wrong

Google Darlene Ensign:

[Stinky The Clown]

48. No no .... you misunderstand ......

I'm not saying that woman is Cindy Hampton. I'm saying there are links MISidentifying her as Cindy Hampton. And I used the first link to identify her. The second link showed a better version of the same photo as the first, so I used that picture. Also, I tok two web links with the same photo as an indication the identit was good.



Similar exercise ...... back when we were all googling for pictures of Monica Goodling ..... a few *other* Monica Goodlings srfaced then, too.

[blogslut]

51. I agree, there's been a lot of misinformation

concerning the visage of Cindy Hampton.

[Bucky]

6. Google has failed us. Failed!

My world is shattered.

[Mari333]

7. I honestly dont think there are any pics of her

havent been able to find any

[Tangerine LaBamba]

10. Yesterday,

malaise, the Super Sleuth, had an article that contained a link to a story about her, complete with photo.

She looks like his wife, only not as pretty.

Now, I can't find that whole thread. Very strange..................

On edit: FOUND IT! I'm a moron, but I'm sure I have a good excuse.

Cindy Hampton -------------->

[blogslut]

22. Not the same woman

The woman in the photo is a former member of the Watchtower and the article from whence it came details her experience leaving that organization. She just happens to have the same name as Ensign's former mistress.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

28. No kidding ........

That poor woman. How odd that she looks so much like Mrs. Ensign...............

[Stinky The Clown]

47. That's not *the* Cindy Hampton.

I fiund her but then found another link and that picture was there. The link was about something at a college (I think)

I followed many Cindy Hamptons today

[malaise]

8. The Hampton House in happier times

http://tours4.vht.com/Viewer/PhotoGallery.aspx?ListingID=1150611&Style=PAN
:evilgrin:

And they could afford this how exactly?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

9. Never mind ........

I'm an idiot ..........

[malaise]

15. Take that tour sis

:popcorn:

[hatrack]

18. Hey, it's Tony Soprano's House!

To say nothing of the fact that Ensign looks like Paulie Walnuts.

[Bozita]

19. WOW!

[DefenseLawyer]

38. Wall-to-wall tacky thrown in at no additional cost.

Ah the McMansion. Faux marble columns and a green and purple checkerboard wall. You stay classy, Vegas.

[malaise]

40. That is one ugly house

Damn!

[MADem]

11. Ya know what is funny as hell? How many Cindy Hamptons are out there!!!

It could be any one of these ladies, and then some!!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. But, we found the REAL Cynthia Hampton..........

Because we are DUers, and WE NEVER QUIT when there's dirt to be dug on GOPigs:

[MADem]

13. I think the wife is more attractive!

She must be the Italian in the family--what with all of the "Live, laugh, love" in the kitchen and the "In Vino Veritas" going into the "wine room."

[Tangerine LaBamba]

14. The wife is LOT prettier, I think,

but if she's Italian, it's hard to believe that Ensign got away with cheating on her three times.

We Italian women don't do well with that sort of behavior, and we don't need tools ....................

[MADem]

16. No, no, no--I was unclear and worded my comment crappily!

Cindy Hampton is the Italian--see the pics of the Hampton hacienda upthread!

I guess Doug Hampton is just a generic blackmailer of perhaps Englishheritage.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

17. Ohhhh.........

That's right - I wasn't thinking clearly, and your wording was absolutely correct. I had forgotten about seeing that house yesterday.

An Italian woman married to a man named Doug Hampton? Well, I did that once, got a real white bread last name which came in handy professionally, but, legally, I shed it as quickly as I could.

Doug's whipped, I do believe....................

[orion007]

20. I'm Confused, help

Is that really the Hamptons home?
If so, the furniture looks staged, and coming from an Italian with good taste, it's one ugly place.

Tangerine, I thought the photo you posted was not Cindy, and taken down from some web sites and DU?

[malaise]

23. Yes

Go to the TPM site and follow the links. They got this from a real estate link

[orion007]

25. Thanks

[Tangerine LaBamba]

30. That's what I was just told......

I found it in an article that was about the notorious Cynthia Hampton.

Now, I'm confused.

I don't know what was "taken down" because the place where we found it is still up here at DU...........

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x5870061

[MADem]

33. Well, staging is common when you're trying to sell a home at that price. NT

[kestrel91316]

27. Ensign's MOM is Italian. And he's 1/8 Filipino to boot.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

31. THAT explains his good looks .........

it also helps explain his need to be a hound, alas.....................

[kestrel91316]

34. He had almost coal-black hair when I knew him, and yes, he was one

of the best-looking in his class. But as I have said before, TOO SLICK.

[Bucky]

41. That's not her. It's a different Cinthia. I think she goes by "Liz".

[Born_A_Truman]

42. Not THE Cynthia Hampton

The lady pictured has requested from other blogs to have her picture removed:

Cynthia Hampton Says:

June 17, 2009 at 4:46 pm
Your unnamed woman above that you identify as “Cynthia Hampton” is NOT the Cynthia Hampton who worked for John Ensign’s campaign. It is MY PICTURE. Someone has stolen it from my profile on meetup.com.

Bio:
I am a former Jehovah’s Witness who has a heart for helping others who have left the Watchtower, a place that they can come to , make new friends and talk about their concerns. Hopefully, you will like our Ex JW Meetup! Join us!”

I do NOT know John Ensign. Please removed the photograph immediately. If you do not, there will be legal consequences.

Thank you.

Cynthia Hampton

[GoesTo11]

43. Please stop posting this woman's picture

That's not the one who had the affair with Ensign.

I don't want to violate her privacy further, but on the website where this picture was originally found, this woman describes her age at the time of a certain event in her life which occured during a certain year. She is definitely not the 46 year old Cynthia Hampton who was involved in the affair.

[cherokeeprogressive]

53. Some DU'ers will refuse to acknowledge that using her picture is wrong.

They post her picture and call her ugly. They think it's funny.

If it were me whose picture was posted here without my permission for the sole purpose of calling me ugly, I'd sue. I'd tie this place up with legal bills until the cows came home.

Everyone who has posted her picture in this thread knows it's not the woman who had the affair with Ensign. They know it. I think they're just pushing the envelope with the mods because of the thread that got deleted earlier today.

Cowardly bullies.

[JI7]

21. i guess we know what his type is

had an affair with a less attractive version of his wife.

since he was separated he could have been with someone else who wasn't married and wasn't married to someone on his own staff also.

[orion007]

24. I think the seperation line is a lie,

If I was separated and had an affair I wouldn't consider it cheating on my husband who I was separated from.
Any call girl connections about to surface? Doesn't his father own a casino in Vegas?

[JI7]

26. yeah, or it might have been a break from each other type of thing

where they just kind of get away from each other with the intent of improving themselves and their relationship when they are back together again.

either way he is a whore.

[orion007]

29. A whore is one thing, but a "stupid whore is unforgiveable!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

32. No, he's not a whore -

a whore gives a good product for a fair price.

He's just a hound ......

[orion007]

37. OK . but a stupid hound! n/t

[marmar]

36. Peg Bundy !!!!

n/t

[onenote]

39. sorry stinky, but that's ensign's wife

[Stinky The Clown]

49. Yeah, I've since found that out. See my posts upthread.

What prompted me to post it was finding two separate links that ID her as Cindy Hampton. I have the links posted upthread in reply to Blogslut

[GoesTo11]

45. Is this Cindy Hampton?

[orleans]

50. i really don't care what she looks like. i want to know who was blackmailing

him to spill the beans on the whole business.

[MADem]

52. It was her HUSBAND. Cindy's husband, who had a "pleasant" meeting with Ensign, and

apparently asked for some money to keep his mouth shut. Ensign regarded that as a shakedown. Which it was.

[malaise]

54. Did you miss the part where the Nevada police and FBI

said that they had received no report of extortion. TPM suggests that Ensign has walked back from this version of events. Looks more like he paid them off for silence.

[MADem]

55. Well, you can shake someone down with a smile. And not all shakedowns are

reported to the FBI. I mean, really--who willilngly, cheerfully gives money to people to shut them up, unless they feel pressured in some way to do so because they fear the consequences?

It's entirely possible that the Enquirer called him, too, and he figured he might as well get ahead of the story.
