Washington Post:

"Hey, Walberg!" a voice called out to the two-term Republican congressman from Michigan, who was in the shower at the House gym. "Are you with us?"

The lobbying for Rep. Tim Walberg’s debt-ceiling vote began early Thursday morning. The third time it happened, it was only 7:20 a.m. and he was naked. 

Walberg, 60, would not disclose the name of the other congressman, who wanted to know: "Have you come on over?"

Walberg gave the same answer he had already given twice that morning. "Still undecided," he said uncomfortably. "But let’s do this at some other time."

Maybe Walberg was holding out for a back rub.

You never go to the gym?

This little scene demonstrates everything that's wrong with Washington: politicians so implacably obsessive they can't even give it a rest in the shower.

Can you imagine what they could/would do in the sauna? LOL

Although I prefer showering with my wife.
