Self promoter Jeff Flake churns out “survival” video
This time as Jeff Flake goes publicity-hounding, he takes two of his sons along and (mostly) keeps his shirt on. Last time? Not at all. Flake’s 2009 egocentric photos of his survivalist adventure on a remote, uninhabited isle were worthy of the ridicule they received since he made book on the fact that he traveled bare-bones, sans even food and matches, but brought along his trusty tripod and camera to catalogue his bare-chested crab catching. The ego-trip was timed in anticipation of his senate race.
After taking flak from the local newspaper, and other outlets, he has given another ‘exclusive’ to the far-left and more appreciative Washington Post.
After the first trip, the AZ Republic’s Dan Nowicki wrote, “In the light of the romantic scandal involving South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, Flake is assuring his constituents that his ‘Robinson Crusoe’ adventure is not a cover story for any Argentina-style monkey business.” Quoting Flake, “I did tell (my wife) Cheryl, ‘That island is uninhabited, I promise,’ ” Flake said. “No one can accuse me of giving in to any kind of vices there, unless you call eating fish and coconuts a vice.”
Cheryl Flake need not worry. Surely she has read Ovid’s account of Narcissus, who also found joy near water?
