Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) refuses to say whether he lives in the C Street house “because of privacy issues.”
Late Update: Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) is getting antsy about his C Street connection, too, when asked about it on a conference call with reporters:
“I will not discuss what goes on there, because I’m not there. … Are there other activities going on there? Yes. But what goes on and things like that, I don’t know. I have my room there.” …
“I have a room there. And I participate in a Tuesday night dinner once in a while there. … So there is no regimen. There is no group stuff I have to do. … You guys … are grasping at straws that’s not there. I rent a room there.” …
“I almost have to chuckle at your questions,” Stupak said. “No. 1, I don’t belong to any such ‘group.’ I rent a room at a house on C Street. I do not belong to any such group. I don’t know what you are talking about. … I have no affiliation. I rent a room at C Street.”
Classic.
