It seems Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., a member of the Senate Commerce Committee, has experienced one of the downsides of texting firsthand. In an interview with ABC's Nightline Monday night, Doug Hampton, the husband of the woman that Ensign has acknowledged having an affair with, said he found out about the relationship after intercepting a text message. During the interview, Hampton said he intercepted the text message from Ensign to Cindy Hampton around Christmas of 2007. When asked what it said, Hampton said it talked about "how wonderful" Ensign felt and that he was "scared but excited." Hampton said he had "a little out of body of experience" after reading it. "John is panicked. He's like a kid," Hampton said, adding that his wife was "speechless. She is absolutely in shock."
