House Member Is Rebuked After Nude Swim in Israel

WASHINGTON — They came to town promising something new and different, a fresh reprieve from the antics and proclivities of a “Washington” they disdained.

But during a trip to Israel last summer, several House Republican freshmen engaged in a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee, complete with one skinny-dipping congressman whose choice threatened to tarnish the reputation of the House newcomers as superserious number-crunchers who sleep on their office couches and go to bed before midnight.

On a trip billed as a foreign policy fact-finding mission last year, a large group of Republican members of Congress, and some of their staff and family members, decided to take a swim in the sea after a long day.

Several members — including Representative Steve Southerland II of Florida, who jumped into the water holding hands with his 21-year-old daughter — said they were moved to dip for religious reasons. (The sea is believed by Christians to be the location where Jesus walked on water.)

9. My take? A Loony Tune. Attention seeker. Self-aggrandizer.

Slightly unhinged. Lacking in judgment.

An EMBARRASSMENT.

Maybe he's better than that, but that was an idiotic advertisement.

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was someone doing a Pootie imitation....!
