No tickling here that we know of, but an important reminder that there is another member, Republican Senator John Ensign of Nevada, who is under investigation -- criminal investigation -- for his alleged lucrative attempts to silence the husband of the staffer he was having an affair with, a s Eric Litchblau and Eric Lipton of the New York Times remind us. The investigative duo first broke the shattering story in October. Amazingly, Ensign remains in office. Especially since, as the Erics report, the FBI and the Senate Ethics Panel now have definitive written evidence that Ensign tried find lobbying clients for his mistress's husband and former staffer, presumably to keep him quiet.
