An Ensign Demoted.
Senator John Ensign has admitted to fooling around with a campaign staffer behind his wife’s back and today has resigned from his leadership post in the Senate, as is only right.
Of course, any divorce or affair hurts the Family Ratings here at Full Spectrum Politics. Here are the numbers for the “Honorable” Senator, before and after the sleeping around:
2008 Family Rating: 5.25/6.0
2008 Family Ranking: #31
2009 Family Rating: 3.125/3.5
2009 Family Ranking: #45
Senator Ensign now has the dubious distinction of having a lower family rating than his more hypocritical colleague from Nevada, “Dingy” Harry Reid. As for Ensign’s overall Individual Ratings…
2008 Self Rating: 7.26/9.84
2008 Self Ranking: #9
2009 Self Rating: 6.91/9.42
2009 Self Ranking: #11
…He has dropped out of the top ten. That’s a shame.
