Quick Hit: Massa vs Ensign



Senator John Ensign has been in the news for having an affair with the wife of an aide, Douglas Hampton. He is under investigation for steering lobbying work to Hampton, evidently in order to make up for Ensign's affair with Cynthia Hampton, Douglas' wife. The New York Times first reported on the affair and the alleged arrangement in October 2008. Ensign has been a Senator since January 2001 and served in the House from 1995 to 1999: about 15 years as a national political figure.

Representative Eric Massa resigned his seat on March 8 for allegations he groped male staff members. Massa asserts the charges were part of a White House effort to change his vote against its health insurance legislation. Massa has served in the House of Representatives from January 2009 to March 2010: about one year and two months and he has held no other political office.
