Teen nudists butt of bad jokes
» Laws and Politicians, Mostly Bad
Ed Koch and Alan Cranston were funny politicians. Virginia governor Mark Warner shouldn't plan on a night club career.
"I support the bottom line intent of this bill," the Democratic governor wrote in a brief, tongue-in-cheek commentary full of double entendre.
"This bill has been the butt of many jokes, so with naked admiration for its patron, I am offering this amendment," his missive concluded.
The patron, Del. Jack Reid, R-Henrico County, introduced the bill after a weeklong summer camp was held last June for nude children ages 11 to 18 at Southampton County's White Tail Park nudist community.
"Stripped to its bare essence," as Warner wrote, the bill bars the state Department of Health from licensing any hotel, summer camp or campground that holds activities for nude minors whose parents or guardians are not "registered for or otherwise accompanying the juvenile."
