The parent trap

John Ensign of Nevada, who is perhaps the only man in America who wants Mark Sanford to keep talking, still can't keep himself out of the news.

“After the senator told his parents about the affair,” the statement issued by Mr. Coggins said, “his parents decided to make the gifts out of concern for the well-being of longtime family friends during a difficult time. The gifts are consistent with a pattern of generosity by the Ensign family to the Hamptons and others.

Now clean up that coffee you just spit out.

Meanwhile, "the media" is tearing these families apart.
