Ho Hum, Another Christian Republican Adulterer
The estranged wife of former Rep. Chip Pickering (R-Miss.), who served 12 years in Congress before retiring in January, has filed a lawsuit against his alleged mistress, claiming their adulterous relationship ruined the Pickerings’ marriage and his political career.
Leisha Pickering is suing Elizabeth Creekmore Byrd, her husband’s alleged mistress, for alienation of affection.
It’s pretty unusual that the estranged wife is suing the mistress. (Here’s my advice, it takes two to have an affair.) This next piece of information is what has my eyebrows raised:
Leisha Pickering alleges that Creekmore Byrd’s”extramarital relationship” with Chip Pickering began again while he “was a United States Congressman prior to and while living in the well known C Street Complex in Washington, D.C.”
Chip Pickering, like Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.) and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, have lived in a Christian fellowship home on C Street. Both Ensign and Sanford have been the subjects of adultery scandals in recent weeks. Ensign had an eight-month affair with a former campaign aide, Cindy Hampton, and he resigned his leadership post after admitting to the relationship. Sanford secretly left the United States to met his Argentine mistress, setting off a national furor over his disappearance.
C Street sounds more like Sex Street, doesn’t it? I wonder what advice Tom Coburn gave to Pickering?
That Christian Fellowship Home must be a fucking awesome party! When I go to DC I waste my time at Lotus Lounge, Tattoo Bar, etc… I should probably just hit that spot.
It’s pretty unusual that the estranged wife is suing the mistress.
It depends on state law. “Alienation of affection” is pretty unusual but apparently exists in Miss. Remember, the other woman is wealthy, so why not go for it.
(Here’s my advice, it takes two to have an affair.)
Don’t worry, she sued him too (for divorce).
If I remember correctly Delaware was actually the most recent state that had a real life “alienation of affection” case brought to life, and even made it to PEOPLE magazine. DelDem or John Brady could probably access that lil’ tidbit.
Isn’t it interesting that all of these conservatives resort to TRIAL LAWYERS when life hands them lemons?
My guess? The folks at C Street told him “give her up or get out.”
That is based upon how they handled Senator Ensign, as documented here.
In guess the C in C Street stands for cock.
Why is that edict only right before it goes public?
In the meantime, we can bash Mr and Mrs GoodChristian from Sussex County for their letter in equating their view of Christianity to the view of the Fundamentalist Right, all the while justifying these eff sticks.
Ho hum is right. If my husband was a Republican I’d be watching him closely. 😉
They really just need to wire that house with cameras and turn it into a reality TV show.
That’s brilliant. Can you imagine the shit those cats are into? The only issue is that Washington is know as Hollywood for ugly people. Voyeurism can be very hot if there’s something sexy to look at. In this case it’d be more akin to horrific YouTube.
It could be C-SPAN’s first reality series!
Can I just ask a question here?
Where in the Hell do these people live that
they have names like “Creekmore Byrd” and
“Chip Pickering”?
What the Hell is WRONG with these people?
They sound like Confederate generals.
Inbreeding, perhaps.
Chip is Pickering’s nickname — he is actually Charles Pickering Jr, the son of a former federal judge. He uses the nickname to differentiate himself from his father.
I’d guess that “Creekmore” is mama’s maiden name — giving them to a child is not unusual.
World domination through adultery:
I return to my original thesis. It is unfair to exepect Christian politicans to have sex with only one woman at a time.
I went to school w/ a Forrest Medley. Names are an interesting thing. Maybe they shouldn’t let us mamas sign the birth certificate until we are 48hrs. post medication. And sorry Forrest if you are still around and reading this.
“The Family” is a bestseller book, now in soft cover. This guy actually infiltrated that Biblical Capitalist group and exposed via video the Preacherman Coe “spouting Hitler and Mao”. He/they believe GOD put them in these positions of power! Rachel Maddow has been covering this story for the last three nights. They also support dictatorships around the world. They believe they are above
“all law”, are sworn to secrecy….skull and bones offshoot?
Ensign is the worst of the worse. Coburn (OK) and their band of merrymen were counseling him and they had him write the lover lady a letter calling the whole thing off. They drove him to Fed Express to mail the letter. Didnt stop Ensign, he immediately called his Senate aides wife and told her to “ignore” the federal express letter. Now baby thats luv.
This story is going to drag them all out of the closet, one by one. The book is chocked full of goodies about how “it would be considered ok to chop off the head of your mother or sister”, cuz these cats are above even murder.
