Not a surprising response....kind of a boys will be boys meme going here. Good grief , they were representing the US Congress, though it wasn't an official visit, they were invited by an Israeli organization. You do know that nudity is illegal in Israel? A drunken party ending up with a late night swim and a skinny dip? That's not boys will be boys, that's conservatives will be conservatives....laws don't apply to them.

Please! Like Dems have never done the same.

so you have no problem with elected officials representing the United States in a foreign country acting like drunk fraternity members while representing the US with an important ally.

Gee, wait until they piss in the Vatican courtyard.

Source please.

Even Cantor ripped them a new one like he should have.

I'm sure no one has ever peed in the Sea of Galilee. :VeryScared:

That being said, if you represent the US in a foreign country, you should be on good behavior.

Really Fred? That's the best you can do...when have democrats done the same? And if you are sure they have, why does that excuse what these Republicans have done. You just can't bring yourself to say a conservative has behaved badly...you have to blame liberals for doing it first, or worse. What ever happened to taking responsibility for your actions and not excusing bad behavior by claiming that someone else did it too. Why do you think these congress critters think they can get away with this stuff? Because people like you will forgive them anything as long as they have an R after their name.

I am shocked shocked to find gambling here. I suppose you have never had too much to drink on vacation and did something you regretted. Moralizing hypocrites here.

Seems to me that Barry's Secret Service had a little run in or two this year:

Twelve American Secret Service agents assigned to protect President Obama at an international summit in Colombia have been sent home after being accused of taking prostitutes back to their hotel.

The incident is alleged to have taken place at the £300-a-night Hotel Caribe in Cartagena on the coast of the South American country last week.

The Secret Service was alerted after one of the prostitutes complained to police that she had not been paid by one of the agents.

The. Secret Service is another good example. Everything I have read says they tend to be a conscientious group who work very long hours and quite professional but they threw their marriage vows on the fire and risked their careers shacking up with whores

I don't know what anyone else thought, but I thought their behavior was reprehensible. Even if they were democrats.

Another attempt to justify bad behavior by conservatives, this time by insinuating I must have done something equally bad, No I haven't. Want to try again?

Good for you, but quite dull. :woo hoo: Party hard the next time you are overseas. (Will be in Amsterdam next week at this time.)
