You could see this coming: Yoder IS Letterman’s Top Ten List

Congressman Kevin Yoder's skinny-dip in the Sea of Galilee provided the fodder for David Letterman's entire Top Ten List Monday night.

The title of Monday's segment: "Congressman Kevin Yoder Excuses."

Said Letterman, "I'm telling you if I pulled a stunt like this, they'd slap the cuffs on me. I'd be put in a bullet-proof van and currently rotting in a mountainous cave somewhere."

"What's the big deal, I was naked the whole trip."

"It was spring break; chill out."

"People in the Middle East are pretty easygoing about nudity."

"In my defense, I had been drinking heavily."

"Trying to take the focus off Mitt Romney's taxes."

"It had been days since a congressman did something embarrassing."

"It's Obama's fault."

"Putting the 'junk' in 'congressional junket.'"

"I can't swim naked, but Barney Frank can walk around like this?" (Picture Frank in a blue sweater and jacket.)

"That's how we party in Kansas."
