More Misery, More Often

John Ensign. Successful veternarian/businessman. United Snakes Senator. Also:
Early life, education, and early career Ensign was born in Roseville, California, to Sharon Lee Cipriani and a father whose surname was Mueller; his maternal grandfather was of Italian descent. Ensign claims to be one eighth (1/8th) Filipino American. Ensign's family moved to Nevada when he was a child. His mother remarried Michael S. Ensign, a gaming industry executive who subsequently became chairman of the board of directors of Mandalay Bay, and who adopted John.
Yes, another rich boybastard (literally) runs to Mater & Pater for some help after royally fucking up, as mentioned just below. Indeed, not just any rich boy, but the scion of gambling interests. Per TPMMUCKRAKER:
The senator's father, Mike Ensign, is a casino mogul who sold his shares in the Mandalay Group for around $300 million earlier this decade.
Can we get these damn people the hell out of politics? The idea is to kill the aristocrats, not elect them to represent us.
