Sen. Flake spends recess marooned on deserted island

(CNN) – In an adventure worthy of the TV show "Survivor," Sen. Jeff Flake and two of his sons marooned themselves on a deserted island in the Pacific last week during the Senate's week off.

Dodging sharks and suffering sunburns, the senator and his two teenage boys spent four days fending for themselves – spearing fish, catching crabs, picking up coconuts and sleeping outdoors in hammocks. They cooked what they caught, over a campfire kindled with a magnifying glass.

    These useless politicians enjoy a lavish lifestyle and do absolutely nothing to deserve it! Flake AND the McSenator have to go!

    Even leaves the sharks with a bad taste in their mouths. Why doesn't Flake try surviving in this 107 degree heat like the rest of his constituents. Beyond disappointed with this guy. Our city is falling apart! Get to work damn it.
