State Rep. Arrested In Sex Sting

Fla. Rep. Bob Allen Allegedly Offered To Perform Sex Act On Undercover Officer

(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.

Maybe we just need a new perk for our elected officials: Oral s**. Even make it a government job. Every other week someone is busted looking to get some. If they could get it at the office, think how much more productive they'd be.

[briannorwood]

Another Republican caught in a *** scandal...again with boys? Now that's family values!

[kathirussell]

Maybe McCain should have let him go too.

[hwk_i67]

I'd met him a couple of times and there was that weird "vibe" about him. Guess that explains it.

[huskerarmy]

Because he's a GOPer, how much you want to bet that God, his wife and the televangelists will have forgiven him before the sun goes down?

[realpatriot1]

trouble1985,

Jeff Gannon says it works at the White House.

[rushlimpdrug]

Allen, a married father of one, was elected to the Florida House in 2000.

So the republicans have to pay to perform oral ***?

This guy and the Lousyana family guy need to get together and "work something out".
At least they are still with their families and their wives aren't ho's

[actornaught]

hahahaha... it's another in a long long string of Re-pube-lican scandals !!!

Looks like w needs to fire some more US attorneys...

[stevex47]

Ah yes,

Do stay the course in '08.

[randalds]

He offered to pay to perform a se*x act ON what he thought was a male prostitute? I thought the whole idea of prostitutes was to pay them to perform se*x acts on YOU?

Only a republican could scre*w up even this.

And that he's on his way to "rehab" tomorrow to "deal with his alcoholism" and to learn how to be straight again. LOL!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Get your post in before CBs shuts it down.

Well, by tomorrow he will talk about how he's an alcoholic and abused as a child. Or is it, he used alcohol as a child and is an abuseaholic? lol

[wadyaknow]

The McCain can't afford $20 for a bj so this just can't be true.

He could have just called fellow-Floridian Mark Foley and had him hook him up for free.

GOP in 2008 - "Who Would jesus Do?"

[bareemperor]

Like all Repugs, he is hoping for a hung jury...

[undermyboot]

Let's get this straight (or not...)- He was ASKING for $20 to GIVE ***? ROFLMFAO

[hwk_i67]

Well, he will be. Vitter is keeping abreast of the situation. Ba-da-dum!

[peacethinker-2009]

Prostitution should not be illegal, it should be handled like a business like it is in Nevada and other at least semi-enlightended places like Holland.

[hwk_i67]

Or abused an alcoholic child.

Priceless. Very nicely done Randal!

[peacethinker-2009]

Oh and yup, more hypocracy from the "moral" right.

(bowing low) Thank you! Thank you! I'm here all week. Don't forget to try the veal and please tip your waiter! Next show is at 9.

;-)

[jsilver2th]

$20? Just like a Republican won't even pay minimum wage- Hasn't he even heard the President? We have illegal aliens to do the jobs Americans don't want to do. Guess he was driving a hard bargain- and he seemed to be such an upstanding member of the community.

[Dublecros]

No, No, No!!!!!! The undercover cop got it all wrong. He misunderstood him. He said F**k the election! The cop thought he heard S**k my erection!
What is is with Florida and all the homosexual encounters with politicians? Is it the heat, or what????

[wadyaknow]

I'm surprised that like most Republicans he just didn't go out and get a Mexican - they are a lot cheaper. Was the cop black? Strom (Uncle Strom's Cabin) was into dark meat and I'm wondering if that is the case here. That would explain why he just didn't get himself a Mexican.

[jsilver2th]

I mean what happening in this country?
Where was To Catch a Predator when we need them...

Would you please post a picture of the cop so we can all get a really good howl...

[jsilver2th]

He's the Florida McCain Campaign Chairman?

ABC site reports: State Rep. Bob Allen is "(a)n official with the John McCain presidential campaign... Bob Allen, a member of the Florida House of Representatives, is one of six Florida co-chairs for the Arizona Republican senator's 2008 White House bid."

And just after poor McCain spent so much time flip flopping on Gay Marraige... http://mccain.bravenewfilms.org/blog/43-john-mccain-flip-flops-on-gay-marriage

[jacksteen1]

GOTTA LOVE the way the Republiscum Party is self-destructing before the calamatous Elections of 2008 send them into the ******** for good !

Too bad Jerry Falwell is in Hell and can't lend his Fatherly support for the obviously floundering flock of Republishit faithful that have lost their frigging way !

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !

[whomi2u2]

It seems to me that the biggest *** scandal had to do with a Democratic president.....now where is that blue dress?

[wadyaknow]

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!

[actornaught]

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...

[gunownerdan]

We all know politicians are prostitutes but this is just too much!

[jsilver2th]

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.

[mo005]

I guess it sucks to be him ha ha ha.

[mo005]

JackSteen1 : They aint dancing around sobraos doing fat chics yet, So I guess that means you side bites our side sucks, pretty much even eh!!!

[greybeardvet]

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.

[knyghtwolf]

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?

Hey wadyaknow, you need to send that to Weird Al. It's great! LOL!

[theusa1st]

All these congressional s - e - x scandals are getting hard to swallow..........

[ekucrew]

....and the family values hits just keep on 'acomin....
The GOP egg on the face is getting bad...they need to get some new chickens.

[starleo146]

Now Mc Cain knows where all his campaign money went ironic isn't it he really knows how to hire them and he wanted to be pres.

[starleo146]

Pesos what s happening to the south man

[infidel_us]

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

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.

[killtheliars]

what is with all of the gay politicians in florida? It is pretty disturbing. Can we offer to give florida to Cuba?

[hwk_i67]

wadyaknow,

OMGLMFAO!!! Effing priceless!!!!

[gunownerdan]

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.

[weareone2]

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.
