PUN!!!!!...........good!.......

What I'd like to know is, what was the context of the photos? I mean, I've never gone around wearing nothing but body paint, or even felt the desire to, even on my most inebriated college days. Going out with a couple of the fellas, all of us nekked and painted, was and is (I hope it's not necessary to add but I'm going to anyway) right out. I have to know what exactly made this sound like a good idea to him. Let's not even get into how stupid it was to keeping that on his own PC.

[RichInOC]

Bustard, are we going to have to enact Rule One as a Constitutional qualification for federal office? Is it coming to that?

[Billthedrill]

Ah, the mud is starting to fly. (Puts finger into air to test the wind.) Yep. We're in the political silly season again.

I understand there were guys congregating in a motel somewhere. All guys..all with glasses of wine.

I think there was even a picture of one of them nekkid in the motel hallway at one point.

It was all rather distasteful.

I wouldn't paint my body purple if the Vikes won the Super Bowl .. but seriesly.

Do we know what color or colors were used, btw?

Sounds like it could be quite innocent and just a gathering of the local chapter of some wannabe "Blue Guys" , like them fellas that do commercials and have an act in Vegas, all slicked out in blue .

ya never know. ;-)

"personal identification situation"

I don't get it. Maybe he was wearing so much paint he couldn't identify which pervert was him.

[twigs]

I agree. Enough is enough. I really don't care about the party. Just because the dems are slimebags and use these tactics doesn't mean that I want to see our side doing it. We're better than they are.

I'm already purple holding my breath waiting for them to win one.

If you really want to know, and I'm not sure you really do, you can see the TV report here:

Very bizarre and disturbing!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I wonder how pervasive this type of thing is among our elected representatives?

[JimmyMc]

Maybe it's too late to say NO PICTURES NECESSARY!!!

[AntiGuv]

Is that blotch of purple the "body paint"? If so, what's the point??

[Keli Kilohana]

Kodachromosexual?

[DejaJude]

One guess.

To be, or not to be? I note the "medication" use. I want random drug testing NOW!

[RichInOC]

Great googly moogly.

[Thrownatbirth]

...or the national dance-off on Fire Island.

[agere_contra]

Chromosexual! Like it!

[Billthedrill]

LOL - you're tempting fate...

"Just because the dems are slimebags and use these tactics doesn't mean that I want to see our side doing it. We're better than they are."

I agree, although it's pretty amusing to see how absolutely stupid and screwed up some elected officials are. The W.Va. Republicans haven't said one word about this situation that I can find published, and I'll be surprised if they exploit it. Seems the Senator who can't decide if he's gay or not, used bad judgement, kept the photos around as a souvenier, someone found them and may have been wanting to blackmail him over them either due to the current race or just for cash-o-la.

Yahoooo reported this, not the RNC or the national GOP.
