I know this story is supposed to 'endear' us to the Dems, being 'real people,' but my initial thought was, "Why am I not surprised that these folks are total slobs?"

I am not surprised at all to learn that Chuckie Schumer lives in squalor.

"How would you like to wake up every morning at 6 a.m. and see [Schumer] in the buff?" Delahunt asks. "We would prefer that he wear a burka," says Miller.

INSENSITIVE CLOD! HE HAS NO FEELINGS FOR THE WOMEN UNDER OPPRESSION IN MUSLIM COUNTRIES!

How could a story like this be written without including the monetary wealth of the men involved in this "endearing" story of democrats living like the "common man".

[MBB1984]

Exactly. I certainly did not find it endearing. What was described was a filthy pig sty and I have a low threshold.

Guys live like that in college because they’re broke.

When you live like that as a wealthy adult, you’re just a cheap slob.

[ClearCase_guy]

When the Republicans come into power, we say: "The adults are in charge."

But currently, these guys are in charge.

[razorback-bert]

Talk about jobs Americans won't do.

[goodnesswins]

They really ARE PIGS (at the trough).

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Adult men living like adolescent boys is not funny, especially this group of adult men.

[corbie]

Love it!

Liberals Gone Wild!

I'd buy the video even if it added to their campaign coffers.

Seriesly tho, with the money these guys make, they could afford to live in better, cleaner surroundings. Do we need a campaign to help them out of their circumstances?

Jeez!

More on Bill Delahunt, who is featured in this article:

"Delahunt has paid close attention to events in, and US relations to Venezuela. In November 2005, he met with Hugo Chavez and engineered a deal in which Venezuela would supply winter home heating oil at a 40% price reduction to thousands of low-income Massachusetts residents. The deal was carried out via the Venezuelan owned Citgo, and brought accusations that Delahunt was assisting an Anti-American tyrant. The congressman, however, has sometimes criticized the Venezuelan president such as in a September 2006 letter expressing "profound disgust" at a speech given by Chavez to the United Nations, in which he personally attacked president Bush. In the letter he urged that Chavez express disagreements "in a more constructive manner," and work with the US to solve problems such as drug trafficking."

"How would you like to wake up every morning at 6 a.m. and see [Schumer] in the buff?" Delahunt asks.

I don't care who y'are, that's funny right there.

[Xenalyte]

Schumer's decorating style remains much the same. His toiletries sit on a nearby bookshelf, what he jokingly calls his "cosmetic cabinet." In his closet hang three identical suits, along with charcoal briquettes, shutters and arrows.

Schumer says that he hasn't made his bed, wedged right near the entrance, well, ever. Why make your bed? He asks. You just mess it up again that night.

Number one, who the HELL hangs charcoal in the closet?

Number two, and this may be TMI for some . . . he's right about the bed-making. I haven't made the bed in, like, a decade.

[dyed_in_the_wool]

Yet another reason why congress should be sent home.
No reason they can't do their business via web conferences and the internet like everyone else.
Keep them at home with their wives and that'll cut a lot of shenanigans out and cut taxpayers costs.
Oh, and give the terrorists one less target.

I watched the video. There is like nothing in the frig! Couldn't they at least lay in a supply of frozen pizza? Maybe some deli turkey.

[isthisnickcool]

This is one of those threads that I assumed was a joke until I saw the video.

What odd people. Kind of creepy.

I used to intern for the Republican legislature in WI. There were 7 representatives who had a house like this just footsteps from the Capitol, and it pretty much fit the description of this story. There were 7 old beds, a fridge full of beer, and one crappy TV and stereo. But they had a one or two good house parties.

[RichInOC]

As a fraternity alum, I'd like to object strongly to the aspersions implicitly cast upon my brethren and the brothers of North American college social fraternities in general by comparing any structure domiciling Dick Durbin, Chuck Schumer and George Miller to a chapter house.
