John Ensign Loses Top Aide

By GottaLaff

It seems I'm using the above graphic more often lately:

Sen. John Ensign's (R-NV) chief of staff, John Lopez, "is leaving the senator's employ" in the wake of the senator's admission of having an affair with another staffer, the Las Vegas Sun reports.

"Republican sources say the loss of Lopez is a bad sign for Ensign as he tries to save his political career."

Buh-bye now.
