Will the excitement ever stop? Two of this year's juiciest political sex scandals are becoming full-blown ethics scandals for the GOP. This evening we learned, via The New York Times , that disgraced Sen. John Ensign used his influence to get a job for the husband of the woman he was sleeping with. That man, as we know, was one of Ensign's staffers, Douglas Hampton. After reaching out to numerous friends and contacts, Ensign lined up a political-consulting gig for Hampton and then organized for his donors to become Hampton's clients. The Times reports than Ensign and his staff then "repeatedly intervened" with federal agencies on behalf of Hampton's clients. The Gray Lady presents a detailed and damning examination of Ensign's wheeling and dealing to keep his former staffer content, and his affair a secret. It will be interesting to see how this plays in Nevada. GOPers are madly hoping that they'll be able to knock Harry Reid off in the 2010 elections, but this sort of political tarnish could spill over to the Nevada GOP more broadly and hurt that effort.
