“I know where I’m going to go on my next break. I’m going to the C Street House in Washington, D.C. You know what this is? It’s kind of a frat house for Christian congressman, where they live and pray together and counsel each other on how to adhere to the nine commandments.”

—-Bill Maher

Read the quote in context here.

Maher isn’t particularly my cup of tea but credit where credit’s due: it’s a good line.

For those who haven’t heard, the C Street House, owned by a elitist, Christian-like cult that falls into the same traps the Jesus warned Pharisees they had fallen into, is pretty much what Maher implies it is — a place where those who imagine they’re going to Heaven can kick back and enjoy freedom from the heavy and grievous burdens they bind to the shoulders of the rest of us. Mark Ensign lived there, Mark Sanford hung out there, now it turns out another canoodling Republican Congressman, Charles Pickering similarly enjoyed himself while living there.
