Mark Musselwhite: Former Georgia Mayor Arrested For Nudity

CLAYTON, Ga. — Naked time got a little too public for a former Georgia mayor.

Authorities arrested Mark Musselwhite and charged him with public indecency last weekend after state Department of Natural Resources officers found him sitting nude at his Rabun County campsite.

Officers had received a complaint about a naked man walking along a nearby road earlier in the day, but the 43-year-old Musselwhite said he was not the same man. Musselwhite told the DNR officer he had been swimming in a nearby creek.

The Republican was elected to the Gainesville City Council in 2000, where he served for six years, including a stint as mayor. He lost a bid for a state Senate seat in 2006.

Musselwhite could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press on Saturday.

Really, I think its OK. More of our politicians should go camping and skinny dipping and sit around the campfire naked- especially the Republicans. It could be part of a "back to Nature" movement. They could have "naked day" in Congress. They could start out simply with "Hawaiian shirt day."

Exactly!

What is it with Republicans and body parts and sex?

I've asked this questions before: Do people have to take a test to be a Republican???

Would not have happened in Oreegawn, we're progressive up here. We get bare a lot, even have a State park where it's OK called Rooster Rock.

Another victory for Republican morality. Keep it coming guys. America needs you for guidance on morality and family values.

Bet FOX won't cover this one. Or if they do, they'll put a (D) next to his name . . .

"But I'm a Republican, the rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to me."
