Sounds like someone thinks that official tours are a Spring Break opportunity. How pathetic.

"Kansas Rep Kevin Yoder, 36, who was voted one of 'Hottest Freshmen in Congress,' admitted to skinny dipping in the holy water in August 2011. He was one of just Republican six Congressmen who jumped in the lake after a drunken night out at a high-price hotel, it was reported on Sunday. . . Rep Yoder reportedly disrobed in front of one Congressman's daughter and the wife of another member."

In 2009, Rep Yoder was cited for refusing to take a DUI breathalyzer test after being pulled over by a Kansas Highway Patrol trooper. His campaign maintains he hadn't been drinking.
Thirty freshman lawmakers went 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."

You paid no attention to a Congressman disrobing in front of someone's daughter? LOL...really?

Anyway, it's bad behavior, but if his constituents don't care, then neither do i since i don't live in his district (thank God).

Perhaps it would have something to do with a visiting U.S. politician disrobing in public in a foreign country. Just a guess.

It was private money and it happened a year ago. What was the outcome of the FBI's "investigation"?

Come to think of it, why was the FBI even involved?

If his constituents don't like him they can vote him out.

It's not like he was the head of the GSA partying in Hawaii or active Sexret Service agents hiring hookers in Panama. Just a dumb elected official exercising bad judgment on private dollars.
