Another Alleged Affair Tied to Christian House on Capitol Hill
A Capitol Hill townhouse that serves as a dormitory and meeting place for a band of conservative Christian lawmakers has been linked to a third episode of marital infidelity, this time in a Mississippi court filing by a former lawmaker's estranged wife.

In an "alienation of affection" lawsuit, former Rep. Charles W. Pickering Jr.'s estranged wife, Leisha, alleges that he carried on an extramarital affair with a onetime college sweetheart while he lived at a house at 133 C Street in Southeast Washington. Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., and Gov. Mark Sanford, R-S.C., both of whom admitted to cheating on their wives in recent weeks, are members of the Christian fellowship of lawmakers known as "C Street" for the address of the house where several of the members live at any given time.

Way more than one.

edit: The jaded cynic in me wonders if Jeff Gannon plays a part in this?

Fully Funky Pharisees.

These 'Fall from Grace' stories about the Republicon Homelanders are so frequent and common that - yawn -- one fully expects HYPOCRISY from them. We get little else.

4. Bizzaro world defense may work-
Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 08:38 AM by callous taoboy
I've been pining to encounter, for just one day mind you, that magical bizarro world that these schmucks with an R seem to inhabit on a regular basis, a world where right is wrong, up is down, living in "sin" is considered good, wholesome fun, and your actions can be nullified since nobody can deny the physics inherent in the bizarro world.

5. I normally wouldn't care, but these fundies play the Holier Than Thou card way too much
It's a good thing they belong to a superstition club that allows for "forgiveness" instead of the Old Testament punishment they allude to when hating gays.
