Any of you think that Shit is going to hit the fan about Stupak and C Street?

[DearAbby]

Rachel has been on this story like a dog chewing a bone. The whole C Street mess is going to bust wide open.

I believe this has more to do with Stupak's decision to leave, than the rough time with the healthcare bill.

1. i hope your right...n/t

[DearAbby]

4. Me too

Stupak was playing to his base with this abortion bill nonsense. and would have been easily re-elected. He was a cop for many years prior to being a congressman. I don't believe the baggers scared him. So what would be his reason for this decision...what else is looming in the future about Stupak...Rachel has been on this for months.

I believe C-Street is the real reason.

2. I hope so - because if it dies down it sure won't go away and others won't be exposed

How many more of them, subsidized housing for high officials by groups unknown to the public, do you think are out there?

10. But betcha Pope Ratzinger (R) luvs him some C Street

So don't that make C Street cool?

[lonestarnot]

3. I think you are absolutely correct.

:) still hate to lose the seat to a pigliCON.

[Walk away]

5. I think you are right but we may never know...

his leaving may be part of a smarmy political deal. Who would put it past him?

[DearAbby]

6. Stupak isnt the only one living at C- Street

Coburn is sure vocal and antsy about it. That was my next clue. Rachel raked him over the coals last night. She isnt giving up on this story.

15. Let's not forget John Ensign and Sanford of the Pampas...nt

7. I don't watch that show. What is C street about?

Is it a lobbying thing?

Read the whole entry. The Fellowship is pretty creepy.

11. Oh. I did hear about that. Thank you.

8. I think it's more likely his religious 'friends' have turned on him

since he really didn't manage to stop HCR all by himself, nor did he manage to use it somehow to ban legal abortion.

No, it doesn't make sense, but nothing about the antiabortionists makes any sense.

12. And He Drew Light To Their Little "Love Nest"

Not that the upcoming Ensign scandal won't blow the lid off what really went on behind the doors there (and I hope it takes Coburn with him). But you could see how touchy C Street types were to all the focus being shown on their "arrangements" as a byproduct of his attempts to coopt the HIR vote.

What slid under the corporate media radar during this debate was how C Street lost its non-profit status and is now the focus of several investigations. Good bets is Stupak lost his nice $800 a month "room and board" within walking distance to the Capitol and will soon have to pony up the difference...as well as find new digs that surely will cost a lot more. Sounds like he's getting out before the real shit hits the fan.

13. And the next to be exposed I hope is Heath Schuler

the little scumbag.

[MadAnne]

17. Shuler

Iwouldn't count on it. John Boyle wrote about Shuler living on C Street several months ago. Since then there have been a few letters and a short bit about the ethics complaint. The 11th is so conservative it will probably help him. The only way I can see it will hurt if it becomes common knowledge it is more cult like than church like.

14. Oh, I really hope so!

I will start buying products from the good companies that advertise on your show and let them know I appreciate their financial support for your style of journalism which keeps digging,
