Florida REPUBLICAN Bob Allen CONVICTED of Oral Sex, Solicitation
There is a pleasant update to the case of Bob Allen. The Florida Republican state representative and John McCain campaign co-chairman has been convicted of offering $20 to perform oral sex on undercover police officer in a men's room sex sting.
The anti-gay and de-closeted state representative now "faces up to 60 days in county jail and a $500 fine for soliciting prostitution, a second-degree misdemeanor." Allen, who has sponsored six different sex crime bills this year, maintains his innocence and his heterosexuality, and, promises to appeal. "I am innocent; I've done nothing wrong," Allen claims.
Republicans in the Sunshine State are not pleased that Allen—just like fellow toe-tapper Larry Craig—has chosen to prolong the embarrassment of the "family values party."
The political career that ultimately elevated Allen to Florida co-chair for John McCain's presidential campaign is in jeopardy. State Republicans immediately urged him to reconsider his earlier vow to fight the charges and not resign. Florida law provides automatic expulsion for legislators convicted of felonies, but not misdemeanors - though Allen did lose chairmanship of the House Committee on Energy.
House Speaker Marco Rubio said the House would act if Allen didn't.
Allen's attorney's succeeded in barring two statements that received the most coverage: The closeted Republican's claim that he was intimidated by the officer who was, in his words, a "stocky black man", and, attempts to impress officers with his legislative credentials. Closeted, anti-gay racist Republican latrine queens: It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Hopefully in a cell with a black guy, who will have him scared the whole time, I find his racist sentiment worse than the trolling for sex and being a GOP bigot. I for one am so tired ot these racist "people."

See, all these republicans getting caught doing the very thing they supposedly despise. Does this mean they hate themselves?
Seems like it's a new trend.
