The Hill is a newspaper covering congressional affairs. With reported Republican obstruction in a supposed era of bipartisan cooperation becoming an issue, the Hill last week reported on a survey it did of Democratic senators. The newspaper's Taylor Rushing asked the Democrats to name the most bipartisan Republicans. And one of the names mentioned several times was, of all people, Nevada's John Ensign. Retribution vs. restoration I sat next to Ted Stevens at a Washington dinner years ago and found him unpleasant in a raspy, cartoonish way, but I was happy to see his conviction thrown out. A muddy case, a friend doing work on the senator's house perhaps in exchange for favors in Washington, and I say, have mercy. Let him go fishing in the cold, clear rivers of Alaska and examine his conscience, as we all do in our better hours, and let us all move on to something more promising.
