McConnell was asked about a report in The New York Times that said John Ensign [R-NV] tried to get former chief of staff Doug Hampton a lobbying job to try to contain the damage incurred from Ensign’s affair with Hampton’s wife. The report says Senator Tom Coburn [R-OK] tried to broker a deal to pay the Hamptons money.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell was asked about it but passed up the opportunity to defend either Ensign or Coburn.

Wise move by Senator McConnell. Keeping his mouth shut while Ensign and Coburn go down slowly in flames.
