Kansas Congressman Kevin Yoder has made the national news twice. First, he went skinny-dipping in the Sea of Galilee two years ago, and second, he's the one who slipped Wall Street bailout language into the recent government spending bill.
Yoder took (Citicorp executives') language and rolled it into an amendment to a spending bill in a House subcommittee meeting. It got swept into the year-end spending package because it "was within the scope of negotiations" on it, according to an Appropriations Committee aide.
Said one commenter: "Didn't Kansas recently reelect every member of the GOP that bankrupted their state, and turned them into a national laughingstock?"
Why, yes. Yes they did. They re-elected Sam Brownback as governor, and Virginia-resident, Pat Roberts, as senator. Those two hotly-contested races may have enabled Cong. Yoder to slip under peoples' radar, however unlikely it may seem that people could forget about a skinny-dipping congressman from KC
