Nevada Sen. John Ensign admits affair with staffer

Sen. John Ensign of Nevada admitted Tuesday an extramarital affair with a woman who had worked for him. "I violated the vows of marriage. It's absolutely the worst thing I've done in my life," the Republican senator said outside his office in Las Vegas. A member of the party's Senate leadership, Ensign last year took over as chairman of the Republican Policy Committee.
