Kansas Congressman Goes Skinny Dipping, Has To Endure Endless Stream Of Puns From Opponent

Puns are all the rage these days, and now they're finding their way into political attack ads. The presumably Amish Kevin Yoder is a Republican congressman from Kansas, and he made headlines for going skinny dipping in the Sea of Galilee, because What Would Jesus Do, I guess. Well, his Democratic opponent wants to remind you that this is just the latest in a series of boneheaded decisions from Yoder, and what better way to convey that message than with the use of puns?

CBS News (link below) brought this ad to our attention, and in addition to the onslaught of puns, they're delivered by naked people who have been tastefully covered up for public consumption. 

Former state legislator Kelly Kultala, who's making a far-fetched bid for the Kansas seat, kicks off the pun-packed spot: "A while back, Congressman Yoder made news by skinny-dipping on the job," she says, followed by a man's "cannonball!" cry. "But it's more shameless what he's doing to Kansas."

In 2012, headlines surfaced about how some Republican freshman (sic)- Yoder included - went for a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee during an informational trip bankrolled primarily by a pro-Israel lobbying group. As reports of drinking and nudity trickled in, the FBI launched a probe of the incident.

While Yoder admitted to fully disrobing for the plunge in one of the Holy Land's most storied bodies of water, other lawmakers say they only partially did so. Families - including one congressman's daughter - were present and also reportedly swimming, and lawmakers offered a lush array of explanations, ranging from religious draw to an overly warm night.

Is "Overly Warm Night" the new "Wide Stance?" Hopefully Ms. Kultala will get some traction out of this, not because I follow Kansas politics, but because the Amish shouldn't be allowed to hold public office.
