Sen. John Ensign told The Associated Press on Wednesday that his affair with a friend's wife was a mistake but not as bad as former President Bill Clinton's relationship with a White House intern because he didn't lie about it under oath.

"I haven't done anything legally wrong," the Nevada Republican said.

"President Clinton stood right before the American people and he lied to the American people," Ensign said. "You remember that famous day he lied to the American people, plus the fact I thought he committed perjury. That's why I voted for the articles of impeachment."

Ensign made the remarks before being introduced to a standing ovation from about 100 people at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon in rural Fernley, about 40 miles east of Reno.

what a slimeball - he wanted Clinton crucified, from the looks of it, calling on him to resign, but now is defending his affair, a time during which his parents gave close to 100K to the family of the other woman. But he's not as bad as Clinton. He didn't lie to anyone. It was the most ethical affair ever. :eyes:
