C Street Takes Care of The Family’s Sex Problems, Again
Roll Call reports that former Representative [redacted] son, [redacted], got hired as Tom Coburn’s District Staff Assistant. That, in spite of the younger [redacted] conviction on misdemeanor charges of criminal solicitation and sexual harassment.
Sen. Tom Coburn’s decision to hire a former Member’s son who has a criminal record illustrates the latitude lawmakers have to hire as they see fit — and the value of personal connections in a world where information about wrongdoing can be found at a moment’s notice.

Credit where it’s due, the Hill actually makes the connection between Coburn, the [redacted], the Christian cabal “The Family’s” brownstone known as C Street where they shacked up together, and the involvement of both in covering up John Ensign’s extramarital affair [redacted].
While it doesn’t come out and say it directly, it comes as close as possible in a Hill rag to stating the obvious: [redacted] only got this job because his daddy belongs to the same cabal as Coburn (and because he’s white and connected, because if he weren’t, even The Family might not have been able to help him).
Of course, Coburn is also the guy who once sterilized at least one woman without her consent because he thought she had had too many babies already. Vagina monsters, you see, aren’t entitled to the same kind of second chances as male members of The Family.
