Ensign Communications Director Quits, Following Chief Of Staff
A second senior staffer for Sen. John Ensign (R-NV) has resigned, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. Ensign's office announced yesterday the departure of his communications director, Tony Mazzola.
The press release also announced the departure of chief of staff John Lopez, which we first heard about yesterday. He'll be replaced by Aaron Cohen, a health policy lobbyist with Kimbell & Associates and former Ensign staffer. Lopez will stay on through August as he "weighs options in the public sector," according to the release.
Mazzola will be replaced by Rebecca Fisher, who was Ensign's communications director at the Republican Policy Committee. Mazzola is leaving to be Northeast region press secretary for the National Republican Congressional Committee. He's from New England, the release said, and wants to return as he and his wife expect their first child.
Ensign's office also announced the return of Pam Thiessen, the senator's former policy director who left in January to work for the Republican Policy Committee. She will be returning as a senior policy adviser.

Lots of "senior policy advisers".

I leave my job too if I knew my rich boss who happens to be a Senator was looking to screw the wives of his subordinates.
Why would anybody stay in his staff?

Well there is that, but considering daddy has $350 million, I'd say that was pretty cheap.

Gotta be the worst job in the world, having to account for this creep.

Rats off the sinking ship.
Am I the only one wondering how two women would come to work for this guy after what he pulled? What happened to "The sistahood?"
Oh yea, his family pays so well.....

The Republicans have had an advantage in creating definitions used for their stances on issues. They take a cause and define the terms used to describe it in a way that ultimately works to their advantage.
It is time for the Democrats to learn something from the Republicans.
Therefore, I propose from now on we all refer to the young "ladies" associated with the "C" street "religion" as the "Vestal Virgins of Venus" and the Senators and Representatives living there as the "Mars B'ars".
