No personal dignity, responsibility or respect. Yep, sounds like liberals to me! The frightening thing here, of course, is that grown men, American Senators, choose to live this way. Yet, it is just more confirmation that these are the last people you want in charge of your life, your family’s future and this country’s destiny. I suppose it’s one thing if this were private, but now it’s blasted all over the world via CNN. I really don’t think this is generating respect for us among other nations.
On top of the chaotic, filthy way they’re living, they also have a life-size cutout of Obama right next to a bed, a few steps away from the kitchen rats. Yeah, it’s that bizarre.

Paint peeling off the walls. Sheets for curtains. Broken blinds. A mangled wicker chair made settable with a board. An ancient stove with a giant hole. And there’s also the pile of underwear in the living room.
What looks and feels like the most rundown frat house on campus is actually the Capitol Hill home of some of the most powerful men in Washington.
“Welcome to the Omega House,” joked Dick Durbin, who is the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate.
“This is where I’ve lived for 31 years,” boasted Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s third-ranking Democrat.
It’s hard to believe half the Senate Democratic leadership lives in these conditions, together. But they have for decades.
When Rep. George Miller, D-California, the third roommate and landlord, came in the door, he immediately ribbed the Senators as deadbeats.
#Facepalm. I’m appalled by this, and frankly a bit shocked. I’m curious to see what you think.
Not surprising since Miller, Schumer, and Durbin have been trying for years to force the rest of us to live under similar conditions.
Is this supposed to make them more endearing?
Schumer’s been living there since the early 80’s, Durbin since the early 90’s. The third man has had more turnover. The media has run a story like this several times of the years.

They joke about the dirty underwear and socks. Tell about venison left in the freezer for 17 years. Interesting to note that Durbin does the cleaning and Schumer
raids the refrigerator. http://www.nytimes.com/1994/05/30/nyregion/for-4-collegial-congressmen-life-looks-a-lot-like-college.html
All I can think of is the Dr. Seuss quote
“And this mess is so big
And so deep and so tall,
We cannot pick it up.
There is no way at all!”
― Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat
Just like the mess these guys created in the country.
Is it significant that the only book on their shelf was written by a committed communist?
My apologies. There are several books. “Johnny Got His Gun” is featured at 1:18.
It’s one thing for 20 year old college students to live in such a manner; it’s quite another for adults who have more experience and resources at their command to do so.
Perhaps they need a “Hoarders” type intervention…
I’m sorry, I can’t even fathom this. No wonder they act like rats, they’re all roomies… and (apparently) that’s just fine.
To be honest, I don’t care how these people live. They can live like kings or like pigs; what difference does it make? I don’t even want to know. They’re bad because they’re destroying the country, not because of their dirty underwear or helicopter-caddied golf games or his-and-her jets.
Bet the rent money, the three of them share one toothbrush.
You are assuming any of them actually brush their teeth. From the look of things, I doubt it…
HAHA….I agree Shifra! No telling what kinda critters they carry around on their suits and into the U.S. Capital bldg .I’m sure their wives are SO proud to have this story out there.
What??? they can’t afford to live in a hotel where you can at least get some maid service.
I can’t even get over the fact that they made an almost biographical TV show about this house, but then switched them to Republicans!! you can’t make this stuff up. And even a chance to make fun of flag lapel pins! Unreal.
I want to know what they do with the Obama life-size cut-out. Maybe they…. oh, whatever 🙂
Don’t ask a question you don’t want to know the answer to.
There is something seriously wrong with these men. They are most likely the type that don’t tip the caterer, paper boy or pizza delivery. Disgusting _______.
So these morons stand there in their thousand dollar suits and think this is cute? I’ve gone through some hard ass times in my life but have never lived like that. I’m surprised they don’t survive on “hand sandwiches” – bologna on your hand.
Sigh. We are so screwed.
These are the original slumlords. What you see exposed where they live, is what is inside of them. Human cockroaches. And this is what you want directing your lives?
GROSS! There is something seriously wrong with this whole situation–even for only 3 nights a week. The fact that a tv show based on this will be portraying the senators as Republicans is telling.
