TMZ tracks US lawmakers vacationing amid the partial government shutdown

Tabloid outlet has covered Republicans and Democrats relaxing at places like Disney World as shutdown drags on

When US federal workers were missing paychecks and the partial government shutdown entered its seventh week, Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, was doing what any responsible lawmaker would do: riding Space Mountain and carrying a bubble wand at Disney World in Florida.

Naturally, TMZ had photos of the vacationing senator on its homepage a few days later.
