It very well might have broken laws. Ensign's mistress worked for his campaign. He paid her 25,000 as a severance (to shut her up.) Since the $$ wasn't paid out of his campaign funds its a violation of campaign finance law. [www.citizensforethics.org] links to the complaints filed to the F.B.I.
@ABigFanofthePigpen: That's what my mother exclaimed at the time, when my brother and I pointed out that the sexy wasn't illegal, but the "perjury" was. Thankfully, we were already finishing the main course and headed toward dessert.
If I had to summarize everything that has pissed me off this week (and beyond) its self righteous hypocritical assholes who claim the moral high ground based on nothing but shouting louder than anyone else.
It should be mentioned that Republicans have been prolific contributors to our lexicon of non-verbal communication, too. For example, until Larry Craig I had no idea that exciting bathroom sex with a complete stranger was only a few foot-taps away!
Dreadful to think that after a few drinks I might've once thrown him a fuck. But relying on Mommy to do your disgraceful
whore-mastering is why I'm glad I was raised to avoid politicians at all costs.

If the facts are on your side, pound on the facts.
If the law is on your side, pound on the law.
If neither is on your side, pound on the table.
