Well, they went to Holy Land, got drunk and buck nakkid and went swimming in the sea where Sweet Jesus walked on water.

What is it the Republicans say?  Kiss my ass, this is a holy site.

Please meet your Republican Congress.

Yoder: Invisible drunk

The FBI probed a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee that involved drinking, numerous GOP freshmen lawmakers, top leadership staff – and one nude member of Congress, according to more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses.

During a fact-finding congressional trip to the Holy Land last summer, Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-Kan.) took off his clothes and jumped into the sea, joining a number of members, their families and GOP staff during a night out in Israel, the sources told POLITICO. Other participants, including the daughter of another congressman, swam fully clothed while some lawmakers partially disrobed. More than 20 people took part in the late-night dip in the sea, according to sources who took part in the trip.

Now, I don’t want you to be too hard on Kevin Yoder.  He was invisible drunk and thought the only way he could be seen was because of his clothes.

And, as a good Christian, he was not skinny dipping in a Holy Sea, he was trying to walk on water.  Imagine his shock when his clothes were lifted from his body by Holy doves and he sank like an anvil in a stock tank.

Not wanting him to feel sad on doing a Titanic imitation, other Republicans helped him.

After what they describe as a “long, hot day,” more than 20 lawmakers and senior aides decided to jump into the sea, sources said. Some went in wearing all their clothes, although others partially undressed.

It was like a big ole Baptism.  ‘Cept nakkid.

And they had to skim nasty off the sea for a week afterwards.

This has the makings of a dandy event leading the GOP convention.

Thanks to Carl Whitmarsh for the heads up.
