Republican Sen. John Ensign of Nevada has stepped down from his leadership post one day after admitting he carried on a extra-marital affair with a woman who was on his campaign staff.
Ensign conveyed his decision in a phone call with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who said he had accepted the resignation.

Ensign was chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, the fourth-ranking spot in the leadership.
He remained away from the Capitol during the day, and aides declined to answer additional questions about the affair.
The moral of the story of Ensign O'Foole is this: When you go around sniffing other politicians' dirty underwear, expect yours to be sniffed, too, no matter how much it stinks.
Update: The (un)lucky woman in question is rumored to be 46-year-old Cindy Hampton.
