Kansas Sen. Jim Barone got caught stuffing his pants with top-secret polling data, according to the Associated Press. The incident, which has been dubbed “Trousergate,” occurred at a December 19 Democratic Party retreat when Barone allegedly tried to slip out of the meeting with his packet.

Tim Graham, Sen. Anthony Hensley's chief of staff, caught Barone “red-handed” and asked the senator from Frontenac to return the packet.

Barone handed over the data, and later, in an e-mail, tried to explain the reason for the bulge in his pants to Graham.

“I did place the poll in the small of my back as I have done with bulky papers for 40 years,” Barone wrote, “so that I could continue to review some areas that I did not clearly understand after returning from a bathroom break.”

Eww.

The Democrats are now trying to strip Barone of his caucus chairmanship.

"Click here to read about other things involving Barone's trousers."

One of the funniest lines I've ever read in a news report.
