| FBI investigated congressional skinny dipping in Israel |
| 2012-08-22 |
| h/t Gates of Vienna The FBI launched an investigation after Republican congressmen on a fact-finding mission to the Holy Land took part in a late-night skinny-dip in the Sea of Galilee, it has emerged. Several prominent politicians and their families joined in the after-dinner swim, prompting concerns among American law enforcement officials that compromising behaviour might have occurred. Kevin Yoder, a Kansas Republican, admitted stripping off and jumping in alongside clothed colleagues such as Ben Quayle, the Arizona congressman and son of former vice-president Dan Quayle. "I followed some Members of Congress in a spontaneous and very brief dive into the sea and regrettably I jumped into the water without a swimsuit," Mr Yoder told Politico, the political website, which disclosed details of the incident. |

| #8 I'm quite sure Israelis have been skinny-dipping in Lake Kinneret for the last 64 years, and they will be skinny-dipping there for the next 64 years. This is nonsense. |

| #4 That's the Dead Sea, BP. And I really don't see the problem here. Don't they have bigger things to worry about? |

| #1 I would rather see the FBI and Department of Justice "investigate" the numerous nefarious activities of members of the CBC, New Black Panthers, or illegals skinny-dipping across the Rio Grande. I do however, fully understand the overriding motivation. |
