Rachel Maddow interviews Jeff Sharlet about his book THE FAMILY which is about the secret conservative republican hideaway on C Street in Washington, DC, where the members have sworn an oath of allegiance to each other above their oath of office in Congress or their marriage vows. The members have hidden the affairs of John Ensign and Mark Sanford and suggested the payoff to Ensign's mistress. Rep. Zach Wamp was interviewed by the the Knoxville News Sentinel which Rachel Maddow quoted and was challenged by Wamp, but that has merely led to more questions about the group and their mission.

  • And does he allow you to have indiscriminate affairs and believe you shouldn't accept the consequences?  Maybe it's not so much like the mafia or fight club as Scientology. The great thing is, you tell them your secrets and they can blackmail you.

  • It's like the mafia or FIGHT CLUB!

    The lord jesus never said kill your brother or friend. Or rob him or hate him because he is not like you

    If I kill some one and I tell some one and they keep it a secret then it is wrong if sone one is full of hate and they hids it thats wrong.

    As you no when god put you in power or in office he will put some one who will do whats right not wrong. You see if you trying to hid something then that is wrong.

  • Reading this book was the best thing I could have done. It really shows the current crop of pols, and who they care about, and the strange idea of Christianity they have. Just this week, more came up about the C Street group in regard to Chris Lee. This would not have come about if not for the stupidity of Mark Sanford. Thanks Gov. Sanford.

  • Jesus Christ, that guy Wamp sounds like the poster boy for shitkickers;I'll bet his picture is under "hillbilly" in the dictionary. Wow.

  • "The Family" is the very best of these 2 books by Jeff Sharlet. I have read them both.

  • Why make a big stink about this but not other secret societies which are much more represented in government?

  • Christianic terrorism. America's worse terrorist threat: Christianity.
