Hoekstra offers peek into C Street

Hoekstra said he stopped attending meetings about two years ago, saying he'd gotten what he needed out of his visits. While never living at C Street, he was a regular for about seven years at a dinner-fellowship every Tuesday.

"We'd fellowship, we'd pray, we'd talk about Jesus, and we'd eat," Hoekstra said. "In the headiness of Washington, D.C., it's trying to make sure you keep your head screwed on straight."

The C-Streeters in recent high-profile sex scandals are Sen. John Ensign of Nevada who is reportedly a resident, former congressman Chip Pickering, who lived there, and Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina, who used to stop by.

Stupak, through his spokesman, had no comment on C Street or its fallen "members."

Glad you found the link interesting. I wonder if any more pols will come scurrying out from under that rock now that people are poking around!

6. Hmmmmmmm, Yes

Incidentally, anything involving a description stating that persons "fellowshipped" is a little scary to me. I wasn't aware that particular noun could be a verb.
