The rise and fall of Aaron Schock, 'America's fittest congressman'


Then a Politico investigation found that Schock had billed the government and his campaign for reimbursements for 170,000 miles of travel on his personal car, a Chevy Tahoe -- which had only 80,000 miles on the odometer when he sold it in July.

2. yep.

The Republican from Illinois, who said yesterday he would resign from Congress effective March 31, is the kind of guy who has it all. Looks. Money. Success. A six-pack. Schock’s veneer was so resplendent that when Daily Caller asked him what vices he could possibly have, he seemed genuinely stumped, offering the most harmless of answers: magazines. “I read upward of 30 magazines a month,” said Schock, who has graced the cover of Men’s Health. “… I don’t get to watch TV much.”

Of course Schock doesn’t watch TV. He’s too busy succeeding at everything. But there’s some irony to this apparently innocuous admission. Years ago, as The Washington Post’s Ben Terris reported, Schock was reading a magazine when he came across the work of an interior designer.
