Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end. And apparently the longstanding relationship between political consultant Mike Slanker and Senator John Ensign is not exempt from that rule.
The two have now said buh-bye to one another, presumably as part of the fallout from the uber-sordid Ensign affair with a campaign staffer (and wife of a close friend).
There’s a rumor afloat that Ensign MAY have hired Sig Rogich to help him limp through this next phase of his political career. Rogich already advises Harry Reid on various and sundry, so an association with Ensign would mean Rogich has the ears of both Nevada senators.
Well played, Mr. Rogich.

If Ensign hires Rogich, might as well kiss Ensign good bye. Reid is toxic and if Ensign is connected to Reid through Rogich, Ensign won’t survie a primary.
