Sen Ensign will be back in the news tomorrow. It seems he gave his campaign treasurer/paramour a $25,000 “severance” check. And at least according to one possibly motivated source, his fellow C street monk, Senator Tom Coburn may have encouraged more hush money.

Hampton also detailed a February 2008 meeting in which he, Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and others encouraged Ensign to end the affair, as well as the working relationship with the Hamptons. Hampton said Coburn and others tried to encourage Ensign to compensate the couple and help them relocate.

“These men were the ones that said, ‘What we need to do is get Doug Hampton’s home paid for, and we need to get Doug Hampton some money. We need to get his family to Colorado,’” Hampton said in the interview.

John Hart, a spokesman for Coburn, would not comment directly on the specific advice that Coburn gave Ensign.

Well, I wish my daughter were in productive labor. She always has lots of labor pains during her pregancy and fools the doctors, who always expect her to have the baby anyday now—for weeks. We need to get down (a four hour drive) to watch the older two siblings. The baby is around 8 pounds already and the mom is promised to be induced around the 15th. We have been waiting forever it seems!

Just so they don’t wait too long. I had labor with my first and then a C-Section and a 9 lb. 6oz. baby. Two C-sections after that. Another daughter had a 9 and 1/2 lb. baby naturally. I don’t want this baby to get too big!

Sawgunner:

Thought you might be interested in this. What do you really know about that “Taliban” “leader”?

Thank goodness, I’m still getting RPN’s old avatar. Not that isn’t nice to see Sarah.

I don’t know about the group photo, Kim, but it started on the 7th and looks like it’ll continue into the 9th. By the time this storm clears, I won’t be worth photographing!

I was beginning to think RPN changed his name again, looking at posts 28 & 29. But The Real AJ is one of the long timers.

And, RPN, it does seem as if you worship Sarah Palin, as often as you bring her up. And now you use her for your avatar.

Thanks Kim, I like that one too. I think it was Anita helping, with the others.

Karen, you’ve given me a vision of StuBob running up and down the line and catching one just in time!

Ugh. I have nightmares like that.

I just now finished a c-section, so that’s three down. But another one has come in, so I still have two to go. Honestly.
