You're an 81-year-old congressman. Your wife's headed to jail. At this point, you probably just don't care what the world thinks of you, so why not kick back on your flight on the way home and read a pronographic magazine in full view of all the other passengers? Welcome to the life of Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich. If he wants those kind of thrills, he should just forego his congressional privileges and get screened by the TSA. </rimshot>
You can see the (censored) pics of Conyers reading Playboy on his flight here.
I agree that this is his private life and he should be able to read Playboy all he wants without us making a big deal about it but . . . it is pretty funny all the same.
“Well your honor, I was just trying to find the answer to the age-old question, ‘where’s da white women at?’”
Playboy is no more porn than Cosmo is. Have you ever looked at the article titles on the cover? They have stuff like “18 tips to Drive him Wild in Bed,” “Sex During Your Period Good, Bad or Ugly?”
Eh. So what?
Playboy isn’t porn. It is relatively tasteful when compared to most naked women photo-spreads (so to speak).
He’s a grown man, and while he should use better discretion than browsing pictures of naked women on a crowded flight ... it is hardly a noteworthy observation that men across the political spectrum like pictures of naked women.
Its a non-issue.

I’m sure he essentially IS just reading the articles, because they have very entertaining content, and enjoying the photos of the young nubiles. I see only one problem with this: He’s displaying nude photos in a place where others, who may very well be offended, can’t help but see them.
In his defense, his wife is going to jail so he needs to get his wrist into shape
re: Playboy is pornography?
There’s a nudist resort near Tampa that used to have bumper stickers that said “If God had meant for us to run around naked He would have had us born that way!”
Doesn’t meet my standard...
Go back to your Leave it to Beaver reruns, mmmmkay?
it’s no secret in DC , hes a down low,a switch hitter
Ah, but if it was a conservative, a Republican, would you still say “so what?”
I’m looking at the pictures,but I can’t remember why!
He only subscribes for the pics.
Not if he’s sitting next to me on the flight.
Don't be an E-tard. Private life isn't on an airplane.
Seriously folks. What would a decent person be doing reading that in front of strangers in an airplane.
That’s just stupid.
He works for us, we pay his dime, and as a ‘public servant’, his life is open to examination by those he serves. 24/7/365!
He’s just looking at the “articles.” At least that’s what I call them.
Sittin’ in First Class, of course.
Not coach.
First.
