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.)
When did not breaking the law become quite dull? Sorry, but I never equated having a good time with embarrassing my country and offending the country I was visiting. You and I are very different.

By the way, this marks Ted's third year of sobriety.

And imagine all the young goverment employees in DC who will miss his drunken come-ons...
And for Sen. Kennedy's burial, did they need to prep him or was he already pickled?
Back on topic, that Yoder guy sounds like he is the man. The only guy with the guts to go skinny dipping. Probably an awesome guy to party with, and he was named one of the hottest Congressman. :woo hoo:
Little trivia per Red Eye, for one of Yoder's campaign ads, he brought in kids and a dog that wasn't his own to pose with him and his wife.
And one more thing to consider, if the Israelis were so upset with the partying why did it take so long for this story to get out. Saving it for the election?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
In comparing this incident with the Secret Service personnel, I believe those involved in that incident were fired. Most companies would have fired employees if they had acted in such a manner while representing the company. But Fred of course applies the boys will be boys standard.

Dems support their goons too, example above, Senator Teddy Kennedy. Embarrasing in the Senate, having to read off his note cards prepared by staff.
And the Republican voters have their chance in November to vote out these drunks, we will have to see if Yoder survives. Drunk and naked in a foreign country? Sounds like Prince Harry! :VeryScared:

Gee, you love to play "they did it too" so much, does the name "Wilbur Mills" ring a bell?
Wilbur Mills (R-AR) was involved in a traffic incident in Washington, DC at 2 a.m. on October 9, 1974.[3] His car was stopped by U.S. Park Police late at night because the driver had not turned on the lights. Mills was intoxicated, and his face was injured from a scuffle with Annabelle Battistella, better known as Fanne Foxe, a stripper from Argentina. When police approached the car, Foxe leapt from the car and jumped into the nearby Tidal Basin in an attempt to escape.[3] She was taken to St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital for treatment.
Despite the scandal, Mills was re-elected to Congress in November 1974 in a heavily Democratic year with nearly 60% of the vote, defeating Republican Judy Petty. On November 30, 1974, Mills, seemingly drunk, was accompanied by Fanne Foxe's husband onstage at The Pilgrim Theatre in Boston, a burlesque house where Foxe was performing. He held a press conference from Foxe's dressing room.[3] Soon after this second public incident, Mills stepped down from his chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee, acknowledged his alcoholism, joined Alcoholics Anonymous, and checked himself into Palm Beach Institute at West Palm Beach.[4][5]
How about John Tower, (R-TX):
In 1989, Tower was President George H. W. Bush's choice to become Secretary of Defense. But in a stunning move — particularly given that Tower was himself a former Senate colleague — the United States Senate rejected his nomination. The largest factors were concern about Tower's personal life, in particular allegations of alcohol abuse and womanizing.[15] The Senate vote was 53-47, the first time that the Senate had rejected a cabinet nominee of a newly elected president.[16]
As The New York Times reported in his obituary: "Mr. Tower's repudiation by his former colleagues, who rejected him as President Bush's nominee for Secretary of Defense after public allegations of womanizing and heavy drinking, left a bitterness that could not be assuaged. In the normally clubby Senate, Mr. Tower was regarded by some colleagues as a gut fighter who did not suffer fools gladly, and some lawmakers indicated that they were only too pleased to rebuke him."[15]
How about the man that Laura Bush killed in a car accident?
There are SOOOOOO many more... So take your self-righteous crap about Teddy's drinking--in the early 80's--and stuff it...
At least Teddy wasn't diddling little boys like Foley; or playing footsie with undercover cops in airport bathrooms....
And imagine all the young goverment employees in DC who will miss his drunken come-ons...
