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. |

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. |
