The President's Scandalous Em-bare-ass-ment

  • Summary

  • Nearly a half century after George Washington dons a three-cornered hat, courageously crosses the Delaware River, and defeats the British Army redcoats, President John Quincy Adams strips down to his birthday suit, swims naked in the Potomac River, and leaves America red faced.

    Giving “crack of dawn” a whole new meaning, each morning, Adams sneaks down to the riverbank, surreptitiously undresses, and proceeds to folly about with the local ducks and geese—all the while naked as a jaybird.

    What happens when word get out on his au naturel aquatic adventures? Listen, laugh and learn all about it.
