Jesus! Another Republican rep affair, Another C street resident.
Former Mississippi Republican Rep. Chip Pickering who retired this year has had his own affair dragged out by his wife in divorce proceedings.
The amazing part isn't so much the affair. It's that former Rep. Pickering was also a resident at that weirdo secretive Christian organization"the Family" or "C Street," just like Sen. Ensign and non-resident, but very associated Gov. Marc Sanford.
That's some fundamentalist organization you're running there.

Leisha Pickering said in the lawsuit filed this week that her husband and the woman dated in college, reconnected and began having an affair while he was in Congress and living in a building where several Christian lawmakers reside on C Street near the U.S. Capitol. Chip Pickering is the third Republican with ties to the building at 133 C Street SE to find his personal life making headlines in recent weeks, after Nevada U.S. Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.
That's some fundamentalist organization you're running there.

I find that the more accusatorially pious one is, the more they're over-compensating for some "sin" of their own.

The weird thing is that these guys were doing their affairs WHILE living in this supposedly pious environment.
It's like it gave them an excuse to get away from their wives.

Yeah, I don't know if it's weird or just frat boy stuff. That is, a society of self edification where bad behaviour is ostensible frowned upon, but ultimately enabled by the "specialness" of the groups self identity.
The whole C Street thing sounds a little Skull and Bones, secret society, frat boy cult stuff to me. It's just totally f'd up.

Yeah. I did a couple posts on "the family" a couple years ago. My concern at that time was undue influence and secret robed and hidden mysteriousness.
Congressmen, Senators living in a secret Christian compound?
It's just weird that it hasn't received more sunlight until now.
