Rep. John Conyers Caught Reading Playboy On Airplane

Look, Democratic Congressman John Conyers of Michigan’s 14th district—I know SkyMall is boring. There are only so many times you can look at a map of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport before losing your mind. But unabashedly perusing the pages of Playboy magazine on a crowded airplane? That’s a bit much.

An amused airline passenger noticed Conyers studying the magazine’s soft-core images during a flight to D.C., so he, of course, recorded it with his camera phone. The lesson? Conyers is old-fashioned and kind of creepy. Makes you feel bad for the TSA agents that had to touch his junk.
