***That Was Fast***

1. Took him a freakin' year. Waiting to see if word got out, I guess.

Only apologize if you get caught (GOP motto).

[riverbendviewgal]

2. It made Wiki today

and it seems from reading Wiki he has a drinking problem prior to this incident.

[wordpix]

3. I wonder how young some of the family members were

I would not like some drunk nude man taking off his clothes in front of my young daughter. Don't know if that was the case but just wondering.

[jberryhill]

4. Meh

If the guy likes to swim naked, that's a point in his favor.

[Dkc05]

5. he should resign and leave congress drain the swamp

Drain the swamp.

6. Republicans: Opposed to Critical Thinking, No Problems with "Legitimate Rape", & Get Naked

Wow, what a week-end this has been.
Are they trying to make sure no one is paying attention to Rmoney-Ryan

[olddad56]

17. Who's Rmoney-Ryan?

[itsrobert]

7. Video Footage

8. TMI

[BeyondGeography]

9. Your social/movement conservative GOP at work...What bunch of goofballs

[olddad56]

10. typical GOP politician. He apologizes after he is found out...

He is only sorry that he got caught doing something stupid. Surprised that he didn't blame it on the alcohol, or worse, the kids that were swimming.

When are the conservatives going to stop supporting politicians who violate the very things that they are conditioned to believe in?

I think too many of them have sat in church too long.

[yodermon]

11. yet another reason to change my last name... oh well

There are non-crazy Yoders out here, just fyi.

[importDavid]

12. Bloody shame he's running unopposed....

Now would have been a great time

[NYC Liberal]

13. Reminds me of John Quincy Adams skinny dipping in the Potomic every morning while president.

[MrSlayer]

19. Was thinking the same thing.

I don't have a problem with this really, except that he would be getting crushed for it if he were one of our guys.

[brooklynite]

14. No it wasn't...

...this happened LAST summer.

[Jack Rabbit]

15. A Bible Belt Republican, no less

Well, I guess he had to lett all the pent-up repressed sexuality express itself somewhere.

And now that we've had our little diversion, let's get back to Messrs. Romney and Ryan, who were explaining to us how they plan to save Medicare by gutting it.

[unc70]

26. Believe he was Belt-less at the time

[awoke_in_2003]

16. In the grand scheme...

of republican crimes, this is pretty far down the ladder.

[pepperbear]

18. no offense to those in fraternities

But this is the thoughtless sort of "KappaKappDingDong-We're-rich-above-it-all-Americans" CRAP that those baseball-cap-wearing fratboy golfer-types pull all the time. These are the country club types that drunkenly heckle the band at the hotel lounge, and frequent Hooters.

[CJCRANE]

20. What happens in Galilee...

[tomm2thumbs]

21. Anyone who saw it said 'It was nothing'

and I'm guessing they'd be right

[radicalliberal]

22. As well he should ...

... 'cause he's not much to look at.

[JI7]

23. WHat if this was a bunch of Democratic Congress Members ?

anyone knwo what the position of these guys is on gay rights ?

are they the type who preach morals and shit and hten go and do this ?

fuck them. and fuck the whore media for protecting them.

[Joe Bacon]

27. If ONE Democrat had done this

You would see a full blown firestorm in our whore press demanding his lynching.

Yet when Republicans do this, not a peep and the whores at Fox News cover it up.

"liberal media" my @$$...

[TeamPooka]

24. How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm after he's swum naked in the Sea of Galilee?

[ehrnst]

25. As long as he doesn't think it will prevent pregnancy... (nt)

[the_chinuk]

28. They might accept his apology … but they'll never forget having to look, ha-ha!

Some punishments are forever.

[Blue_Tires]

29. The sad part is I haven't seen ANY discussion over the

legal/ethical implications of a foreign government wining and dining our freshman congresscritters every 2 years...

[the_chinuk]

30. I guess they all had to see his little Yoder.

Sorry, I coudn't keep that one in. I'll be good now.

[JohnnyRingo]

31. I want a personal apology just for the mental image.

I can only imagine the horrible experience of actually witnessing that, and I think such a decision should call to question his judgment on all matters.

If someone is over 25 years old and say they went skinny dipping in front of their friends, it's not an act of playful innocence, he's a pervert who needs counseling.

[bushisanidiot]

32. Why apologize

he shouldn't assume that they didn't enjoy the view

[olddad56]

33. he could have been charged with indecent exposure....

but the authorities didn't think it would hold up in court. Insufficient evidence.

34. Is Ptince Harry his friend?

What is the deal with these self named "Christians."

[olddad56]

35. He could have justed taken a picture and sent it to everyone. Then they could have had it enlarged.

[Bucky]

36. He's a good lookin' guy and he's swingin' a pipe. He's got nothing to apologize for.

When the Lord tells you to whip it out and let your Little Christian Maker bask in the gloaming of the moonlight, you gotta follow your heart. I salute you, Kevin Yoder, and your little dog, too!
