UPDATE III: On May 19, in a letter to the FEC, Sen. John Ensign's campaign acknowledged unreported contributions to his campaign from...his parents.

As Senate Democrats entombed a sex-ed bill Friday that every Assembly Democrat voted for last month, their explanation to angry progressives seemed to be:
“Don’t criticize us for this. We voted for putting gay marriage in the Constitution. Isn’t that enough for you people?”
