Another day, another sex scandal involving a god-fearing republican who just happened to be a key supporter of John McCain. That and the fact that this legislator had also co-sponsored bills on public sex is pretty much par for the course with these guys. In a tearful, blubbering performance at a press conference Allen vowed to fight this grave injustice to the bitter end.
As expected, once news of the McCain connection broke a minor regional story hit all the national media.
McCain's campaign, already on life support, looks about ready to expire at this point. Good riddance, too.
State Rep. Bob Allen, a co-chair of Republican presidential candidate John McCain's Florida campaign, is expected to address Thursday charges (.pdf of arrest) that he offered to perform oral sex on an undercover male police officer for $20.
Allen, who sponsored a failed bill that would have tightened the state's prohibition on public sex, scheduled a news conference at his lawyer's office to discuss Wednesday's arrest. A spokeswoman for Allen declined further comment.

SMELLS LIKE NAZI;; BUT SOUNDS LIKE STASI 2.0
Stay the Course John!
There is suicide at the end!
I luv rethugs
You can tell he's republican, look how cheap he is!
Why don't we raise his taxes just to piss him off?
The developments of the last few days have not been kind to the so-called "values voters" of the Republican Party. One after another, paragons of conservative virtue have been going down (so to speak). And making matters worse, they are taking down the top GOP presidential campaigns with them.
For the details, see:
"Sex and Drugs Rock Republicans."
the commie goverment ate thier young and others who didint tow the line or were found to have ´´tarnished ´´ the image.
this new kick in the jowels is a must see on tv, yet that wont happen. They will protect each other,, abber from a long line, and maintain thier Ö act. MCpain is a asshole. The man lives in dream time and yet he cannot run away.
Regardless who was who that was caught,, it begs the question,, what ever happend to MARK FOLEY (R) Florida?
where are they now?!!!!!!
You can pretty much figure these guys out right off. Every bill prohibiting some crime that an individual Republican introduces is pretty much the crime that he/she is commiting.
"tearful and Blubbering"...."I sinned against God!
Oh sorry. That was Jimmy Swaggert.
At least Bill Clinton's BJ was legal. Are the repubs just jellous because they can't get any without paying?
Surly they don't believe in their "Values" rhetoric, Because they sure don't parcatice what they preach.
people pay to perform oral sex? ??
Condor @ 8:
And who made that old doctrine obsolete, "quaint" one might say? These very guys. What's good for the goose... I'm sure that police officer misread his proposition, "20 bucks for a blowjob." All a big mistake. Besiides I don't care about "the party faithful". Send them to Guantanamo, ask questions later.
iam out folks. IF you like wildlife and wish to see it,, please feel free to hit my blog. The KENT washington state eagles are just getting ready to leave the nest. One is flying, the other,, probably pissed it was born 3 days later!!
take care folks and talk to ya ppls again.
Have a great night and thanks again.
regards
The Baker :)
Condor @ 8:
I suppose neocons can't understand the word "Aquited".
We told you payback was going to be a bitch.
Prersident Bill Clinton
We remember.
The sad thing is, at $20 a hummer, he was probably McCain's best fund-raiser.
@#9 Salmineo Says: : “tearful and Blubbering”….”I sinned against God! Oh sorry. That was Jimmy Swaggert.
Funny, I thought that was Ted Haggard.
Blow jobs for Jesus! What cretinous humanoids Republicans are.
Friar Tuck @ 12:
Have a good one. :)
Religious folks are more likely to commit scandalous sex acts than nonreligious people or atheists.
Too funny :)
I guess that puts him in the same cell as ted haggert and mark foley, the GOP is becoming the true party of gay america ;)
The really sad thing is that he wasn't even paying to get a BJ, he was trying to pay to give one. Perhaps that's the ultimate betrayal of Republican values, their First Rule of Order being to take your money while screwing you.
Edwin @ 15:
Jim Baker?
Well, blow me over with a feather.
Oh, the humanity!
Its no mystery why they call him BOB.
Guy Fawkes @ 18:
I agree. They have a kind of get out of jail free card. Just do whatever you want, then repent, and go to heaven. Whereas, I consult my own moral compass and decide that it doesn't really jive with the golden rule of "do unto others... "
Play It Loud; Republicans are Hypocrites
The connection is too strong. The Republicans don't know how to stay away from illegal sex acts. The moral Party is turning out to be the hypocrite Party. Oh, they better hope we forget about all these sex crimes before the next elections. Hell, the way things are going they might provide the Democrats with fresh crimes come November 2008.
This is one time I want to see them make the claim Democrats are the same.
Joseph
Norton @ 20:
He was paying to GIVE a BJ?! Does John McCain know this?
i agree with condor... allen was just doing "research". in the park. on blowjobs.
Condor @ 22:
In this case, YUP!
It's not that he OFFERED to give a blow job that bothers me.
It's that he offered to PAY to give a blow job.
What a dumbass. You don't have to PAY to service a man. They'll give it up for free.
Think Glory Hole:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_hole_%28sexual%29It seems more and more like those people who make such a big deal about sex and sin are just trying to hide their own personal demons.
And that's just sad.
Actually, I think he was "doing unto others ..."
Condor @ 8:
Well, judging by that police report (and a detailed one at that), I would say Allen is going to have a tough time of things. I mean, according to the officers report, it seems Allen was either waiting or watching for some guy to go into that restroom. Then, when the officer went in to adjust his radio and then to wash his hands it almost seems that Allen "thought" that he could score with the guy though maybe he wasn't to sure at that time due to his hesitation and quick responses such as "hi". It almost sounds like Allen hasn't done that sort of thing before but may have had urges to at least try it. Unfortunately for him, he picked the wrong guy.
i didn't find out until the end of the article that he was going to give head to a MAN.....for twenty dollars.
Won't someone think of the children?!!!
$20....?
Somehow I see this as some sort of republican Pyramid scheme.
What a fat, fucking hypocrite! Yet, these are the deviants that usually get screwed by the the same laws they create to meddle in the lives of others!
Posted this on open thread couple days ago.

Florida republican soliciting to give BJ’s in a mens rest room, in a park dedicated to veterans.
I can almost hear him saying: Yes, but that was ’cause I was concerned that he might fall. Doctor, his pants were down around his goddamn ankles!
I'm waiting on the QT but will expecting it to be that level of denial.
bill @ 34:
Yeah man. This is sick.
I just watched the video.
He said the undercover cop misunderstood.
So I see now: this creep must have thought he was paying $20 to RECEIVE a blowjob, not GIVE one.
That's probably what got the cop angry enough to arrest him.
Cops don't give blow jobs.
It was a mistake! He was just offering to show his willy mole.
Why didn't he just lick the urinal?
Just as sick, but its cheaper and as far as I know its not illegal.
My, my, my. Bad week for the Grand Ol' Pervert party.
Betcha this is a Vitter pill to swallow for them.
Hey, maybe he is innocent. Cuz you know The Man is always trying to keep fat, white Republicans down.
Stevo @ 31:
Good lord, even if you were gay, would let that fat, nasty lardass go down on you? I like blowjobs as much as the next guy--and, quite frankly, don't care if they come from a male or female (men quite honestly tend to do it better, though)--but I think it would shrivel up for days if I saw a seapig like this guy about to engulf it!
Stevo @ 40:
Not to mention the fact that Allen apparently entered the stall that the cop was drying his hands in. I mean, that would be enough for me alone. There would be some fighting going on if another man stepped into a public restroom stall with me inside. I'm sure just about every other guy, including that cop feels the same way.
pinky @ 10:
Different strokes for different folks...And so on and so on and scooby-dooby-doo....
I guess he blew this one for McCain.
Condor @ 8:
Quoth the troll...
Thanks for the "concern" there, Sparky....now go play with your "Lil' Bush" action figure.
Condor @ 8:
Somehow I doubt you were crying this loud about the quality of public debate back in the 90's.
Darth_Romney @45:
Now THAT'S funny.
Seapig. Classic.
Wow! 20 bucks?
I generally consider a candidate raising the most money as a HUGE reason not to vote for them, but McCain's fundraising must be way farther behind than I ever imagined.
How many calories are there in a shot load? maybe he should try spitting instead of swallowing ;)
Pay me $20 and I get the BJ?!?
Give me another $20 each I'll let you clean my house, mow my lawn, and give me a back rub.
You want to detail my car and get the oil changed too, well that'll cost you $50. And be back in time to take me to my 3 o'clock tee time.
jitter @ 52:
yea, it seems that McCain's campaign is hurting so bad that he is sending his staffers out to raise some money anyway they can. So, if this goes for all of McCain's staffers then that would make McCain a pimp. :lol:
Condor-
Yeah, it was just a friendly hello to a stranger in the park restroom.
I'm a friendly guy. I have been known to converse with friends at the next urinal. Hell, when I'm at the trough at a football game, I might even chat with my anonymous neighbor about the significance of that big stop on that 4th and inches play.
But I've never- NEVER!- started chattin' with the guy in the park restroom.
But, hey, Bob's just a friendly guy, I guess. And he sure does have a pretty mouth!
Andy K @ 47:
Not usually, but this guy HAS to.
Actually, as a gay man, I understand it. He got married, he likes men, he's a walking fraud. He desperately wants some "action", but really can't, so he sees men in the washroom and gets turned on. It's sad really, but happens all the time. (What he needs to do is come out of the closet and recant.)
Still he's a GOP assh__e so I say lock him up like any good law-abiding Republican wouldn't hesitate to do.
Another pathetic, self-loathing, Repug, closet case foiled by his own frailty. The blusteringly self-righteous all too often are trying to kill something in themselves they've been taught to despise. Frequently theologians, themselves in pain and agonizingly repressed, pervert theology for the same reasons the Bob Allens legislate against themselves; they have been the twisted proselytizers who carefully, carefully teach hate. In a society indifferent to sexual diversity the poor man could stop hating himself, stop legislating against that within himself that, as it is now, disgusts him. The 'public sex' issue is tangential to the man's suppressed bi- or homosexuality.
Still, we'll hear the same drivel soon: "I have asked for and received forgiveness from my family and my God. Tomorrow I enter rehab to rid me of the demons of a) alcohol, b) cocaine, c) crystal methamphetamine, d) any combination thereof, that make me do the unspeakable. Simultaneously I'll begin sexual reparative therapy to cure my cop sucking sickness. Amen. The Lord be Praised"
Gekke @ 19:
Change the name GOP to GAY party. It fits.
Found this quote-
When his appointment to the McCain campaign was announced, the Arizona Senator said Allen was a community leader and praised his ability to "wrestle with the important issues of our day."
Insert your own "wrestle" joke here............
Of course he would have to solicit sex. Look how poorly his suit-coat fits!
Just another poorly dressed Re-pub.
Edwin @57
But, Edwin, yer out of the closet, right? Ya probably have more self-esteem than portly, closeted, right-wing politician Bob.
And, Edwin, there are straight guys who pay females to allow them to perform cunnilingus. Why would it be so hard to stretch that to a man payin' to fellate someone? Hell, there are people who pay for the sexual thrill of bein' whipped- no sex, just bein' on the receivin' end of a bullwhip!
OK!
As I've posted here before, he will pull the "GOP/alcohol rehab" strategy, because he's gay.
The GOP strategies for sex crimes are:
1. Republican heterosexuals: The GOD/Jesus strategy; invoking GOD/Jesus, IE "I spoke with GOD, and he forgave me" (IE Vitter-R-not-D).
2. Republican GAYS: Check into alcohol rehab (like Mark Foley-R-not-D). Not allowed to use GOD/Jesus strategy due to gayness.
This man will use...THE GOP ALCOLHOL REHAB STRATEGY! (sucking on a cops weiner is gay).
The question is...is this man high enough up in the GOP chain to be contacted by the GOP "Ministry of Propaganda", to employ these strategies? He is not an "elected" Republican.
I'm laughing!
He can protest all he wants, but these type stings always have video evidence with sound.
Okay, I've put on my wingnut apologetics hat and come up with the solution to this mystery. Allen thought the undercover agent was asking Allen if there was anyplace else the cop could go to dry his hands, other than using the handicap stall. Being extremely considerate of the handicapped, Allen kindly offered to go with him across the bridge to give him a blow job and $20. But Allen meant a blow job to dry the cop's hands. With an air compressor, which are so expensive these days, that Allen kindly offered to pay. At a gas station across the bridge. Duh. It's so obvious. Call Perry Mason.
And yes Allen is a pretty sad sack having to pay $20 to give someone else a blow job.
G-gay
O-old
P-PARTY

Good ole republican 'values' and only costs $20 too. Wow, now that some cheap values LOL.
"Thomas Ravenel, who chaired Giuliani’s campaign in South Carolina, was charged last week with conspiring to distribute crack cocaine. "
I was going to post, "Wasn't McCain's campaign chairman charged with distributing coke?" Good thing I looked it up, first. It was Giuliani's campaign guy!
Hey! I CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF ALL THESE REPUBLICAN SCANDALS!!! It takes took much time to look them up in Google!
Any thoughts on how to keep better track of GOP scandals?
I starting to wonder if the pentagon has been secretly testing its new "gay bombs" at republican conventions, paybacks a bitch :-D
The smell of the Family Values crowd.
"I am filing a not guilty plea. I am vigorously going to fight this," State Rep. Bob Allen, a co-chair of Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign in Florida, said at a news conference."
"I got stiffed he said.
We're going to take a long hard look at this charge which frankly sucks,and try to determine which way the wind is blowing."
"cocksucker!" he suddenly groaned, in a fit of pique.
for shame, damn freaky deaky republicans
MSNBC has already chipped in putting "-D" after Vitter's name. FOX did the "-D" strategy for the Mark Foley scandal.
My theory?
MSNBC puts the "-D" after GOP HETEROSEXUAL scandals, and FOX puts the "-D" after the GOP GAY sex scandals.
So, there is a good chance that FOX (rather than MSNBC) will report that this guy is a DEMOCRAT, because he's gay.
Gekke @ 19:
The true party of closeted hypocritical hate filled adulterous gay Republicans.
otto schmidlap @ 25:
Did you mean Blob?
knowing the cops here in Florida the cop probably took the 20 and the service and then busted him.
I forgot about Haggard...did FOX report that Haggard was a Democrat? Just askin'...
Just another victim of some priest out there. We should be grateful that they seem to like those little boys who attend private religious schools. Well republicans, you might have been wrong this time. A strong recommendation for public education.
McCain has stooped to holding fundraisers at truckstop restrooms. Just put your donation through the glory-hole and you'll get a heapin' helpin' of GOPerv appreciation.
-GSD
This one's by memory, I stated above, I can't keep looking these things up.
...but was Haggard the guy who sucked a guy's weiner on meth?
...or was he McCain's coke dealer...I'M GETTING CONFUSED!
Edwin @57
But, Edwin, yer out of the closet, right? Ya probably have more self-esteem than portly, closeted, right-wing politician Bob.
Uh, yeah, just a bit.
The GOP attracts these losers. Too afraid to even know who they are, but willing to trash everyone else, and even legislate against them. Freud would have stuff to say here, but I won't go into it. They like to get up on the pulpit and prescribe some fantasy-ideal of how we should live. If he could just be honest with himself, he wouldn't find himself in this situation. But he can't be, and he does, so...
I find it sad that society makes homosexuality so unspeakably evil it has ruined so many lives. Imagine going through your whole life living it as a lie. Pretending to be someone you're not, being completely unfulfilled, always longing for "forbidden fruit", but not getting any. I decided when I was 19 that wasn't for me, and came fully out of the closet. What a relief. (I feel blessed to be gay. Think what you want, but I do. I'm so lucky.) For him, this is an agony. I did mean that. But as he's joined the scumbags, I have no sympathy.
Watch the fat man dance...
"The only comment we have to make is everyone is innocent until proven guilty," the attorney, who did not identify himself, said as he and Allen exited the Brevard County jail in Sharpes just before 10 p.m. Wednesday. "We would hope that everyone takes into consideration Mr. Allen's history of public service (and) that everyone is innocent until proven guilty."
History of public service of performing blow jobs in public restrooms? Way to go Blob!
It must be tough for the religious right loons wondering if their reps are closet sex freakazoids. Make that loser closet sex freakazoids.
Sheesh! Maybe Romney ISN'T so bad. Were their any religious fanatics/weiner sucking/coke dealing/meth addicts/and/or Madam list scandals connected to Romney...yet?
"..but was Haggard the guy who sucked a guy's weiner on meth?"
At least it wasn't his "penis". :)
Republicans are as gay as Democrats are Republicans! All Closeted Cases!
Big Dan @ 87:
Well I guess that's one hell of an endorsement for Romney. The only Republican contender who isn't a complete perv, or doesn't employ them....
Oh yeah...there's that bit about strapping his poor mutt on the roof of his car until it crapped itself...
IT WAS A TERRIBLE MIS(gulp-gulp-swallowing)UNDERSTANDING OFFICER!!! (quickly wiping his mouth with used toilet paper).
lost_nacf_gop @ 71:
is the smell of a public restroom in a park on a hot 105 degree July day
Monumentally great screen shot.
I wonder if he was "born again?" or just your ordinary run of the mill "john"?
Hilarious. Can irony be any better illustrated!?!
The Republicans seem to be writing the textbook on irony these days! (It's like comic relief in the midst of tragedy and despair!)
I think we are getting to the point where we see that the fairy tale called religion actually rots their brains.
and I just had my wife convinced it wasn't fattening.
I've got it now. Allen was himself undercover, working on a congressional probe into bathroom blowjobs. He was just about ready to file charges against the cop.
Condor @ 8:
You are SOO funny!
He's not guilty, yet. But he IS BUSTED!
BWAHAHAHAHAAAA!
Repug stench at it's finest!
I'm talkin about you Condor.
You've got the wrong slant on this story. This wasn't sex, this was just a business proposal, and business is what has made this country strong.
Sen. McCain,
Yeah, little present for you. Consider it a parting gift:
http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/rememberthetitans/nanaheyheykisshimgoodby...
'Cuz I care.
I like it when you guys go after ( admirably ) the rabid liars and idiots in the right wing blogosphere and on talk radio as well as hypocrite conservative lawmakers. However you lose someone like me ( a political fence sitter ) when you start tearing an honorable man like Mc
