"In 1998, as a House member running against Reid, he called on President Bill Clinton to resign after revelations about his affair with a White House intern. "He sent taxpayer-paid staff out to lie for him, and that is a misuse of office," Ensign said, adding that the president had "no credibility left."

In September 2007, Ensign called then- Sen. Larry E. Craig (R-Idaho) "embarrassing" after Craig was arrested in an airport men's restroom and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in a sex sting. Ensign played the leading role in an unsuccessful effort to force Craig into resigning from the Senate immediately."

Why is it so difficult to understand people can take political positions about traditional marriage, speak of the sanctity of the institution, and promote marriage but at the same time fail as a normal human might?

Actually, it's not difficult at all to understand...but it perfectly illustrates the hypocrisy of yet another supposedly highly "moral" politician who preaches one thing to others but practices something different himself...oh, and it is also one more example of how heterosexuals are doing a fine job all by themselves of damaging the institution of marriage, despite the grave warnings of some that homosexuals will do that...
