Despite a stodgy reputation, Republicans are capable of a little craziness. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was moved to scold a group of GOP congressmen who drank and went swimming—at least one of them in the nude (that’s him pictured)—during a “fact-finding” trip to Israel last year.

Think Progress: McClellan Ducks Questions on Role of Alcohol
AMERICAblog: What did Cheney drink and when did he drink it?
Tucker Carlson: You CanӒt Drink A Beer If You Shoot. Period.
Think Progress: Inconsistencies in statements of Cheney’s “star witness”
