One of the ne-er-do-wells from the C Street Group House, former Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) is under investigation for assaulting an opposing team’s youth league soccer coach after what I suppose must have been a particularly intense game. In a nice extra touch, the unfortunate soccer coach was allegedly already wearing a neck brace when Pickering got all pro wrestling on him.
Pickering was last in the news after his wife accused him of adultery and sued him and his mistress for “alienation of affection” — not unlike fellow C Streeters Sen. John Ensign and Gov. Mark Sanford.
