So John Ensign is begging for money to cover his legal costs

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0810/41055.html
<snip>
Embattled Sen. John Ensign, blaming a prominent watchdog group for his troubles, is asking supporters to help pay his legal bills from parallel criminal and ethics investigations into the fallout over his extramarital affair with a former aide.

Ensign, who went public over his affair with Cindy Hampton in June, 2009, sent out a fundraising appeal last week seeking contributions to his legal defense fund.

The solicitation was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

In a letter seeking as much as $10,000 from individual donors, Ensign said he has “been accused of doing things I absolutely did not do.”

1. And there are people out there who are ignorant enough to send
him a check.

Looks like Bob Dole's Wonder Pills has all the repubs out looking to score.

6. He need not worry his case like all the rest of the crooks in the
republican party will be dismissed. Rove, Newt, Cheney and Bush are still not in jail.
