BUZZFLASH EDITOR'S BLOG

By Mark Karlin

Kudos to Rachel Maddow for latching on to the captivating and chilling story about not just the lascivious and potentially illegal activities of some of the "C Street" Family, but -- more importantly -- focusing on their belief that they are chosen by God to lead and infiltrate our governnment.

And she hasn't stopped pursuing this startling story, defying the normal news cycle of a nano-second of coverage unless it's Michael Jackson's death or a blonde white girl disappearing in Aruba.

What gets lost in the disgusting details of Ensign's adulterous affair, Mark Sanford's (an associate member of the Family) lust for an Argentine, and former Congressman Chip Pickering's adulterous bonking on-site at the C Street "Christian fellowship house" is something that Maddow has repeatedly come back to: these men don't believe they are responsible to moral or governmental laws. If they deviate from the "righteous path," God is only testing their strength, because they are the ones divinely chosen to lead -- and it is weakness to succumb to remorse about one's "misbehavior." That is why Mark Sanford said he won't resign and compared himself to King David, who slept adulterously with Bathsheba and then had her husband killed.

2. Apparently.. Just the accomplishment of GETTING INTO OFFICE is
the first place is sufficient evidence of "God's Will".. and everything you do after that is no one's business but "The Family's". .

uber-creepy

4. This is sounding more and more like a racket
A nefarious and nasty racket, and we used to have laws against these things.

9. title is a little misleading...
there is no rapist they are refusing to turn over. Even though Coe said it, doesn't mean it's what would happen if there actually was a rapist among them.

They're creepy and all powerful, but i'd rather not accuse them of something they haven't done.

:shrug:
