“Weezy, looks like Ensign got caught with his hands in the honey pot. Oh well, another man’s affair is just an opportunity for me to climb the ladder a little more. I wonder if I will still have to do Boehner’s dry cleaning?”
Gee, maybe someday Thune could be majority leader! Wouldn’t that be wonderful for South Dakotans to have one of their senators with that much power and clout? Just imagine the possibilities! Of course, a Democrat, who had been working for lobbyists, would probably run a smear campaign against him and his wife and dethrone him because he was doing bidding for his party instead of work for the people of South Dakota (from KELO-TV):
Senator John Thune of South Dakota is running for the Republican leadership post left vacant by Senator John Ensign of Nevada.
Ensign announced he was stepping down as chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the fourth-ranking post in the Senate GOP leadership, after admitting he had an extramarital affair.
Thune says he talked to a lot of Republican senators on Wednesday to seek their support for his bid to replace Ensign.
Thune already holds the fifth-ranking Republican post, and he says a higher leadership post would let him more effectively push for South Dakota priorities.
Slow down, Ironic Johnny, you are starting to sound like Tom Daschle more and more every day!
