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 Cain to shreds. Do you not see that this man's fall is being cheered by the very people on the right that you so often despise. I understand that a person's stand on the Iraq War has become a litmus test for you but I'd appreciate a more nuanced approach to issues and people. Otherwise you are no different than the fanatically partisan loudmouths on the right. John Mc Cain is a courageous and principled man. Period.
nick @ 97:
Nick-
Decades ago "Playgirl" (is that publication still around?) ran a diet equivalency bit that has been a useful smidgen of trivia. The average ejaculate may be substituted for one small radish in your diet. Your still home free, champ; but, then, you do return the compliment, don't you?
I have never seen another human being wear a coat jacket that fit as poorly as this guy's.
Who was his tailor?
How come the CNN report didn't say the guy was looking for COCK, and not PUSSY?
What a frickin' hypocrit.
Immigrant @ 102:
The man has no honor. Between his track record in the Senate supporting Bush and his part in the Keating scandal, I can't see how you can say that.
As the Stephenie Miller show implied, he should be charging for service, not paying. Odd for a Republican not to know how to turn a buck.
Anyway. By accounts, McCain is not the most stable guy so anything that gets him on a back porch rocker faster where he can contemplate what he's been through in life for a while before he dies is for the best.
Joementum @ 14:
Ah man, I nearly died laughing reading that one!
It's funny, cause it's true... ;)
I'm starting to wonder what the hell is in the water down in the sunshine state!
This wasn’t sex, this was just a business proposal, and business is what has made this country strong.
In this case I suppose you can say that business is what makes this country hum.
Immigrant @ 102:
Fence Sitter? Are You Shittin' Me? The worst president in the history of this republic and you're still sittin' on the freakin' fence? Uh dude, this is my finger and it's pushing you over to the other side (dink). If you haven't picked a side by now, than you need professional help and I'm booked til fall.
All I can do is shake my head. (no pun intended) Unfuckingbelievable.
Immigrant @ 102:
What principles would those be? As Mark said, he was involved in the Keating Scandal. But if you want something more recent, he went after the religious right (like Falwell), and then tried to cozy up to them by appearing at one of the dominionist-in-training schools in his campaign stump and saying he now agrees with them (not unlike Romney). He accepts evolution, but then wanted Intelligent Design to be taught in public schools. He was slandered by Bushco for the 2004 elections, but then he cozies up to Bush, and has now hired the group that slandered him. He has sold what principles he had, and for a pittance, since neither side now wants anything to do with him. Poor sap. Kinda like Lieberman, his buddy.
pinkobait @ 72:
*best Clinton impersonation* "I did not have sex with that plain clothes policeman,...!"
John McCain was a really good prisoner...but not a very good pilot. I really do believe his bravery as a prisoner should be commended. Amazing bravery. He has shown America that the military is an honorable profession. He should leave it at that. I just don't think he is ready for the job as President.
Thank you for your service Senator. You will always have my respect. Again, thank you Sir.
American Beauty is a movie with one of the widest exposures of how small-minded hate generally works.
Yes there are many people who are prejudiced, and live their life by it. The ones who froth at the mouth are angry about the fact that they have uncontrollable urges conflicting with their loyalty to the idea of establishment, which would never let them live in the daylight about it.
They hate minority groups like gays because they never waited for someone else to make it "OK" for them to be who they are.
Furthermore, ever notice the knee-jerk reaction "macho males" have anytime they're faced with an encounter that threatens their heterosexuality? Even in that Super Bowl Snickers commercial, the "punchline" was that if you think you might have done something gay, counter it with violence. Counter it with even stronger violence if you think you might have liked it.
The bigots are the ones who want it the most. And instead of admitting to it, they'll keep spinning stories about how some outside influence led them astray, or that the sick world we live in makes it "hard" to stay true to your "virtue." Whatever.
mark @ 105:
There is no honor in voting in support of torture and the suspension of habeus corpus.
You really don't have to look far to obtain supporting info that McCain and his lackeys are neither honorable nor principled.
Guess he wanted to see if his legislation against lewd and lascivious acts works when someone breaks it. Well guess what sparky, it does!
HAHA!
LOL
So does this good god-fearing American a "cop-sucker"?
People give McCain a lot of slack because he was shot down and taken prisoner in Nam. It was only bad luck that he was shot down. He was in the air force not a ground pounder like most of my friends and relatives. Back then it was a good way to avoid the draft if you could get away with it. Obviously he had about the same kind of pull as Bush.
I am originally one of those square mid westerners. I can't think of any thing more disgusting then stealing the retirements of some ones grandmother like the Keating crowd did. Why he is in the senate and not in prison for that, I do not know.
Mccain and Rudy are trying to out-freak each other on the employee front. The religious right should have their tax exempt status revoked for supporting these frauds and claiming God told them to support repubs
jr @ 122:
They should have their voting status revoked.
"A blow job from Bob Allen"
The next topic of 'This American Life' on NPR.
[In your best radio voice (i.e., Ira Glaser)]
(sic and apologies for mismatched metaphors throughout, I'm striving for authenticity)
Darkness decends upon Space View Family Park, Florida, late in July, like a aged, withered, patriarch passing away in the presence of a tearful family. I awoke at my usual rising time, 7PM, and headed off to the public park as the families were exiting, children in tow, like penitents leaving a cathedral on Ash Wednesday.
I parked my 1984 Nissan pickup near the rest area, turned off the ignition, and waited. My weathered and tattered wife beater, nearing the end of its life, was chafing my shoulders (grown flaccid with a decade long descent into booze and pills, smoking, and anonymous encounters) as a snake might, shedding it's skin, I waited with marked anticipation.
I watched for the police, but they usually are gone by 8:30, and besides, they are almost always in the restroom. You can always spot the pigs, with their awkward gait, the tight clothes displaying an unwarranted overconfidence unbefitting their flabby physiques. It doesn't take a genius.
After some time, under conver of the darkest night and fog, a large man approached my truck. This was no pig - the slight bulge in his pants was obvious, to the extremely observant anyway. Slovenly, unshaven, balding, middle aged. Perhaps a 60" waist, on a non fat day. Probably the married type, I thought to myself - the crucifix on his neck was prominently, if not lovingly, displayed on a bedding of graying neck and chest hair inside his half open Oxford shirt.
He didn't waste any time. Approaching my vehicle, he uttered an obnoxious 'Hey, I love to fuck ass' and unzipped his pants. I rolled my eyes. As if. The man was a troll.
'Twenty bucks' he said.
'For what?' I inquired. 'Are you fuckin stupid?' he retorted, angrily. He was soused.
I looked down and ...

pinky @ 10:
Yes it is common with older gay men. It all depends on who looks better, really.
Don't get me wrong. Republicans are sex perverts who cloak themselves in righteous Christian indignation and hypocrisy. Shoot, Fred Thompson probably sperms on his young wife's tits daily. They are gigantic tits! And he is a phony.
I just like John McCain for his service to our country.
Damn, we should give him that.
smchris @ 106:
Uh, there hasn't been a hard dick around this man in 40 years. There isn't enough viagra in Rush Limbaugh's nightstand for anyone to get it up around him.
Yea Nazi, American Nazi; as in stupid white supremacist - hiding behind the flag and the Founding Fathers in order to perpetuate horrors on the rest of us - and the white heartland, moral as it pretends to be, playing the game, with bible, gun, and lies....
America the beautiful...a white crock of colonial crap country...
Black people don't have dream - they are the dream!
Guys, he wasn't soliciting for sex - he was fundraising for the McCain campaign. He just REALLY wants to help the Senator.
Sure, he offered to a blow a guy for $20, but you can't tell me Ken Mehlman wouldn't do the same... okay, bad analogy. You can't tell me Mark Foley wouldn't have... Hmm, Congressional Page incident. Okay, you can't say that Senator Vitter wouldn't... Uh, Jeff Gannon wouldn't... hmm, maybe Neil Bush? Oh wait, he was found with hookers too. God, is there any Republican who hasn't been caught with their pants down?
Okay, I've got one! You can't tell me the Bush Twins wouldn't do the same... oh for crying out loud!
Oz @ 129:
Yes there is one. The one we NEED to be caught -GWB. You could throw Cheney in there too. Sly fuckers
RESPONSE TO COMMENT 121
Mark, John McCain was a NAVY pilot not an Air Force Pilot.
Very good comments otherwise. Very good.
To answer you all:
1. John Mc Cain, knowing full well that amnesty for immigrants wasn't going to help him politically in his lifetime ( not a critical mass of Hispanic voters to tip the balance in his favor ) and also aware that it was only going to result in his being pummelled by the bigoted but powerful right wing, still went ahead and co-authored the comprehensive immigration reform ( the most compassionate version which has since been watered down ) along with Senator Ed Kennedy ( a liberal senator ). He did it and stood by it because he rightly believed it to be the right thing. Because he had known all along that most illegal immigrants are hardworking, law-abiding human beings rather than the welfare whores ( no illegal immigrant is eligible for welfare ) and gangbangers that everyone from Heritage Foundation to Michelle Malkin would disingenuously have you believe. His doing the right thing on immigration is the number one reason for his plummeting fundraising. But why doesn't his doing the right thing on immigration not mean much to you ( not a single comment here praising that side of his )? Is it because you are not an immigrant or is it because liberals just like to tut tut about the misfortune of marginalized people?
2. His support of Bush:
Yes there was a ' whispering campaign ' against John Mc Cain during the 2000 primary that suggested, among other disgusting lies, that he sired an illegitimate black child ( the girl was adopted from Bangladesh ) and it was initiated and spread by Bush's supporters. His wife is still angry about it as are many others close to him. Despite this his support for Bush ( mostly only on the war in Iraq ) only goes to reinforce that this man doesn't let either personal enmity or political opportunism come in the way of what he thinks is right for this country. He strongly believes that we need to be in Iraq and has repeatedly said that he'd rather lose the nomination/presidency than change his position just because it might get him the votes.Also if you haven't been listening , he has on more than one occasion expressed his dissatisfaction with the way this war is being conducted.
So is he wrong? OK. Is he unprincipled? I don't think so.
3. Someone commented that he voted for torture. Are you that ignorant of his position on torture? There again he bravely goes against the conservative wisdom. Unprincipled? No.
4. And no I am not cutting him any slack because he heroically served in uniform.
' Maverick ' is the word most often used to describe Mc Cain because he doesn't conform to a rigid black and white or conservative and liberal dichotomy. Truth be told that's the right way to do things in Washington. The Democrats are not always right and the Republicans are not always wrong.
Don't support him for president but don't call him unprincipled either.
If he goes to jail he'll get all the Weenie he can handle.

seem to be the rule rather than the exception.

Good one. Wish I had thought of that! And you get double action on the swallow.
You definitely scored the highest.
I am in awe.

Hey Immigrant
After all of these comments, I agree with Strawberry. You should get some therapeutic help. Come into my office and lie down on this nice comfy sofa. Take a deep breath. Feeling better? Good. How was your relationship with your mother?
Fla residents need to remove him since he states he won't resign.
Which brings to mind Vitters, who solicited hookers for sin. Will he be excommunicated ? Forgiven? They didn't forgive Bill Clinton. Oh thats right, Christianity is only unforgiving of liberal/democratic people. Only conservatives are allowed ill repute.
These folks still hate Hillary for sticking with Bill, go figure?
So again, why was Jeff Gannon in the White House? Who was he there for?
We have forgotten of Mark Foley and his pages, haven't we?
And this ass hole wants to be president, using these kind of folks from the start. It should tell us exactly the kind of people that will be his cabnet members.
Or worse yet, he will use the same ones that Bush has.

Maybe you should have let my comment stay and let others decide if it was my comment or the comment # 138 ( the one I had replied to ) that would incite a flame war.
i have an aquaintance who was busted for the same exact offense....this man doesnt care about his wife or children, trolling bathrooms for sex is the highest risk sex that one can engage in
and the real point of all of this is that all of the repugs are following the neocon agenda, set out by rove
it is set to control the people so that they can engage in any activities they wish, becuase they know better
its too bad that the dems are too incompetent to take advantage of all of this
Wow. I can't believe I'm about to do this. Whew...here goes.
I'm from Florida and while I hate most Republicans, this guy was not bad. He was reasonable, he was NOT a holy roller, and he at least listened to the other side. I met him a few times while lobbying and vetting candidates for a PAC (union), and he was a good guy. It doesn't sound like any of you are familiar with him. While this story plays well on the national stage with the whole GOP=hypocrites meme, it's sorta a shame for Florida, where we needed moderate Republicans in a State House that is 80% R. Trying to pass a law against public sex does not equate with Christian Right bullshit. Allen has never, as far as I know, jumped on the Christian Right stuff. I used to think he was only a Republican because he couldn't get elected as a Democrat in the District he lived in.
You all sound a bit mean. And, dare I say, bordering in some posts on homophobic. Try not to be too gleeful.
I hate what this country has become...
Well if he ends up in the slammer, where he belongs, he can give all the blowjobs he can stomach.
[...] VIDEO OF FAT PIG [...]
He wanted to pay $20 bucks to blow someone, LMAO
Immigrant:
I use to agree with you about McCain. His standing up for immigration has hurt him in the national polls, but I'm not sure that it's a matter of principle, or pragmatism. He may need the Hispanic votes to keep his gig as a Arizona Senator. As a moderate I have always liked JM and gave him a break for his Keating 5 involvement, because I felt like he learned his lesson. But he has shown a penchant in the past few years for abandoning his principles and started sucking up to the far right on many levels in order to curry their favor and become the establishment's candidate. I liked him because he was a maverick and spoke his mind. When his ambition overtook his conscience I soured on him. He supports the war because that's who he is. I don't fault him for a position I think is wrong. I fault him for leaving the path of following his ideals and embracing the elements of the far right that he knows he needs to get through the primary. It's pragmatic and what pols do but it lacks principle and is antithetical to why I liked McCain. The irony of course is that those he has tried to gain favor with were never going to accept him, so he lost support from the middle, while never having a chance with the so-called base.
Bartelby:
While it is true that we need more Moderate Repubs, surely you must recognize the funny in the arrest of a guy that sponsored a law to curtail public sex, for trying to have sex in a public place. The fact that the Republican party tries to present themselves as the morality party simply makes the fact that yet another Republican gets in trouble for the thing that they make so much hey on oddly satisfying. Maybe this guy was reasonable, but his advocacy of the public sex restrictions is just another example of the "thou doth protest too much" syndrome that seems to be the hallmark of the current Republican party
No joke guys--Allen's Florida House website claims Bob's recreational interest as being "Watersports."
You just couldn't make this stuff up!
Valencia Community College must be really proud of the Associates degree he earned there.
Ewwwww! Somebody should ask John McCain if he shook hands with this guy, who pays to give other men blowjobs. Scrub those hands, Saint John!
I'm a little confused tho...If Bob Allen planned to pay to give the police officer a blowjob, does that count as sex? Not according to Clinton's definition, but that was with a woman...
Is it gay if he's paying? Who would be the prostitute in this situation? Is casual gay prostitution even a crime if you're a Republican? Can't Bush simply pardon him now, so he can go back to work? I mean, it's not like he outed a CIA agent; in fact, you could just say he was soliciting a "contribution" to McCain's presidential run...
On a side note, assuming that Representative Allen gargled and swallowed the officer's ejaculate, wouldn't that count as the mass murder of millions of unborn babies, devoured by single hyper-hypocrite? And how many of those innocent unborn children could fit onto the head of a pin?
"However you lose someone like me ( a political fence sitter ) when you start tearing an honorable man like Mc Cain to shreds."
Immigrant, your comments show that you are no "fence sitter." If you are a McCain supporter, you should say so instead of hiding in a closet.
I supported the senator in the last election cycle, but things have changed. He sold out to the Bush crowd long ago and now his behavior becomes more bizzare at every turn. Now he's even blaming "gay sweaters" for his lack of momentum. He's had a hard life and now he's getting old. The best place for him to play out the breakdowns that are coming is not on the public stage. We should thank him and bid him goodnight.
