Kansas Congressman: Why I jumped naked into the Sea of Galilee
Kansas GOP Congressman Kevin Yoder says jumping naked into the Sea of Galilee is something he had never done before. He did that during a fact finding trip to Israel one year ago.
GOP, by the way, stands for Grand Old Party, nothing else.
It obviously was a "grand old party," and apparently no one thought to ask, "What would Jesus do?" After all, Jesus no doubt had many opportunities to jump naked into the Sea of Galilee (aside from bathing) and passed on every one of them. Mr. Yoder was probably under the influence of something that night, but it certainly wasn't Jesus. Skinny-dipping in the Holy Land must've been on his "bucket list."

ReplyDeleteI just think that any story involving congressman skinny dipping that starts with "well, we were drinking" is going to be a heckuva story.
ReplyDeleteHe could learn a lot from Wilbur Mills.
