    Politics can be a strange and dirty business. Check out some of the biggest missteps and mishaps in recent history.

(AP)  State Rep. Bob Allen was arrested Wednesday after offering to perform oral sex for $20 on an undercover male police officer, authorities said.

Veteran's Memorial Park was under surveillance when Allen, R-Merritt Island, was seen coming in and out of a restroom three times, Lt. Todd Hutchinson said.

Allen, 48, then approached an undercover officer and was arrested.

He has been charged with solicitation for prostitution, which has a maximum penalty of one year in jail. Brevard County jail officials said Allen posted a $500 bond.

An e-mail sent to Allen and telephone messages left by The Associated Press on his cell phone and at his office were not immediately returned. It was not known if he had an attorney.

While being transported to jail, Allen told WFTV Channel 9 that the situation was "a very big misunderstanding."

Allen, a married father of one, was elected to the Florida House in 2000. He was chairman of the House Committee on Energy.

Thanks for copying the song by wadyaknow. I probably wouldn't have looked at msgs far enough back to see it.

I agree, it's great, and should be sent to Weird Al and also to the Capital Steps.

There really isn't much difference between a politician and a prostitute so it's only natural for those people to wh0re themselves out at any chance they get.

My God.....what is happening to us? I would LOVE to hear how this is all a "big misunderstanding."

"Hi, I'm trying to quit smoking and I need something to pop in my mouth. Can you help me out?" Expose them ALL!!!!

Since my party is dead for '08, we may as well clean house and gear up for 2010.

Sung to %u201CMy Favorite Thing%u201Ds:

Two-timing Gingrich,
And page-blower Foley
The cream of the party,
Which claims to be holy,

Big paper bundles
Of cash for Cheney

These are a few of my fave GOPs.

Hookers for Vitter,
A black servant for Strom
A cop for Bob Allen
To go down upon.
Six spouses for Rudy and his current Ms.

This is what%u2019s called family values a-miss.

When Ted Haggard,
Gets his massage,
When a lawyer%u2019s shot,
The GOP will cover up all these things
As the nation just goooooooes to pot!

Not to worry folks, bush will grant him a pardon and all will be forgiven. Gotta love that Executive Priviledge thingy!!!!! The fact that you DO have to suck to be a republican is one of the first of many requirements, I think democrats & republicans trade off every four years or so, or is it every two?

Let's see now, Allan gives BJs and Vitter gets them....so maybe these clean-cut Republican boys could live happily ever after in the Bush-Cheney pervert asylum.

I see the GOP wunderkind Senator Vitter now says he has been forgiven by God for his "sin."

I wonder if the forgiveness came via email or fax?

Maybe Rep. Bob Allen should get a hold of Vitter and get the inside scoop on how get ahold of God and get forgiveness.

PS: Hey Bob maybe Vitter has the $20 for you- that a cost-effective bargain compared to the high-brow "entertainment" he's been paying for I bet.

Interesting point that's almost raised. In hindsight, i see now why the 'Pubie congress wanted to talk about Bill's BJ on & on & on. They really couldn't stop thinking about it...
