'Hottest Congressman' forced to apologize for skinny dipping in holy Sea
some interesting little tidbits in this article.

He and thirty freshman lawmakers had gone to Israel in August 2011 for an all-expense-paid trip, along with their families and aides, that cost a reported $10,000 per person.
The American Israel Educational Foundation paid for the trip, which is a rite of passage for new members of Congress. The group, closely tied to the powerful AIPAC, says it uses the visits to Israel to educate each new class of lawmakers about the importance of the the Jewish nation's relationship with the United States.

But while he said sorry for the naked swim, Rep Yoder denied claims he was intoxicated, as he did in 2009 when he was cited for refusing to take a DUI breathalyzer test after being pulled over by a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper.

A rite of passage for members of Congress??? Skinny dipping in the holy Sea???? Drunken all expense paid orgies?????? Has this occurred on previous trips???? that was a rhetorical question.
= new reply since forum marked as read
"The other participants in the after-dark swim were: Rep Steve Southerland, of Florida, and his daughter; Rep Tom Reed, of New York, and his wife; Reps Ben Quayle, of Arizona, Jeff Denham, of California, and Michael Grimm, of New York."
That's my bible-thumping teabagger.
