naked, drunk

A former mayor found sitting naked and holding a beer at a Rabun County campsite told police he wasn’t the same naked man seen walking around earlier.

Mark Musselwhite, 43, said he was hot and had been in the creek, according to a Georgia Department of Natural Resources incident report. He apparently didn’t think he was doing anything wrong.

Musselwhite, of Gainesville, was arrested last weekend after being confronted by state DNR authorities. He was charged with public indecency.

Walls and a deputy sheriff went to the campsite Saturday evening after a complaint of a man walking naked in Earls Ford Road, according to the report. Musselwhite appeared to be intoxicated, and several alcoholic beverages were at the campsite, Walls said.

He couldn't be reached for comment.

1. "No, I am NOT that naked man. I'm a different naked man."

That's probably not something he thought he'd hear himself saying.

2. Someome should really fix the fence at the nudist colony, they seem to be escaping

[Canuckistanian]

3. Could be worse

It could have been former mayor Ed Koch who was found naked and drunk. Think of the children!

6. "He couldn't be reached for comment."

Of course not! Where would he carry his cell phone?

7. I don't think this is much of a crime or a scandal

It wasn't like he was at a school exposing himself.

8. oh sure

wandering around in public naked and drunk is perfectly normal behavior.

12. Looks like your garden-variety drunkard. Not sure if he's a fundie

bible-beating Repuke or not........

13. Former Repub mayor previously served as deacon of First Baptist Church

14. No one has been skinnydipping?

16. some folks can't afford tickets to Argentina in this economy

[checks-n-balances]

17. Of COURSE he was a (R), since you can't swing a dead cat in GA

without hitting one.

"An unidentified female was also at the campsite." She must not have been naked, intoxicated or under-aged, and it didn't say whether they were together.

20. He'll be a "D" on FoxNews before sundown.

18. So, even if Sanford let his party down...

...at least one Republican was conscientious enough to observe National Hike Naked Weekend!

21. Naked isn't "indecent."

It's certainly counter to American culture, which thrives on selling sexuality and reducing the human body to young and tight or gross; a culture which inflates the attractiveness of a body by making it hidden or forbidden.

It's not indecent if the naked person is not doing anything indecent.

It's also not too smart, if the naked person ever wants a political career, a teaching career, or to be a deacon in his church.

:rofl:
