More C Street Trouble

Fmr. Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS)
One of the ne-er-do-wells from the C Street Group House, former Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) is under investigation for assaulting an opposing team's youth league soccer coach after what I suppose must have been a particularly intense game. In a nice extra touch, the unfortunate soccer coach was allegedly already wearing a neck brace when Pickering got all pro wrestling on him.

Pickering was last in the news after his wife accused him of adultery and sued him and his mistress for "alienation of affection" -- not unlike fellow C Streeters Sen. John Ensign and Gov. Mark Sanford.

I GUESS IF YOU'RE ANOINTED BY GOD IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT THE VICTIM IS WEARING A NECK BRACE. :eyes:

1. Wingnuts are obsessed with violence

It's all they know.

2. Off to the Greatest with ye!

I had the feeling old Chip's scandals weren't over. Maybe it's time to refer to the C-Street House and the Jinx House. Bad things seem to befall its occupants.

3. Republicon Family Values = The Latter Day Pharisees

Ptoooey...

[Marr]

4. Sociopaths seem to be drawn to that movement for some reason.

Actually, I think the reasons are pretty obvious. It's all about personal greed and private privilege.

9. Their ideology gives them justification for their actions.

I still wish some journalist would pin down Hillary Clinton on her involvement with this cult, "The Family".

6. Couldn't happen to a more deserving asshole!

I hope all those "C" street sociopaths get what they richly deserve!

7. He would be sitting in the Senate right now

if he hadn't gotten caught with his pants down. Haley Barbour would have appointed him to fill Trent Lott's vacancy if not for his 'troubles.' Instead we got Roger Wicker. Joy.:puke:

8. if this was a frat house, they'd have been closed down by now.
