The galling letter Ensign sent to raise money for his legal defense
By Jon Ralston (contact)

John Ensign is a man of many talents, not the least of which are his skill at twisting the truth and of putting on a false front to the world.

Nevada’s junior senator has been morally superior in public while morally inferior in private, and he created a web of deceit that ensnared friends and supporters now being punished for his indiscretions. Facing an ethics probe and a federal investigation, Ensign has tried to make his scandal about a moment of human weakness (that lasted for months) and nothing more.

But it has always been about much more and now, showing the chutzpah that has allowed him to keep his job while others suffer for it, Ensign has taken his one-man show to a new nadir with revised spin from this avatar of personal responsibility: The liberals are out to get me.

At long last, Senator, have you no sense of … oh, never mind.

In a letter Ensign sent out last week to prospective donors to his legal defense fund, the senator showed that not only does he lack self-awareness, but he thinks most people who receive the letter are ignoramuses.
