Yeah, he’s Republican and all, but Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock — he of the abs and red bathing suit — is featured in GQ, looking all sexy and dressed and stuff.
Aaron Schock is almost 28 and a half years old, and he is a politician. School-board member at 19. Illinois state representative at 23. U.S. congressman at 27. And unlike every single one of his colleagues (except maybe Ron Paul), he owes a great measure of his success to the way his abs ripple. “In a sea of 435 people in Congress, part of getting things done is having an ID,” Schock says of that infamous red-bathing-suit photo TMZ published of him.
. . . Since he’s spent his postpubescent life perfecting the dark arts of politicking—learning to laugh at the right times and deflect questions (no, he doesn’t know why John Boehner is orange)—Schock now possesses the cultural awareness of a 14-year-old circa 1995. He still has an AOL account. It gets worse: “I got to know Elton John’s older music by learning to like his newer stuff,” he says. “The Lion King? That’s what I like.” Is this why he’s still single? Nah. “My only personal time is a couple of hours in the gym in the morning.”
A couple more pics from the GQ shoot, and, yes, the bathing suit pic, too.
