Just Another Case of a State Representative
State Rep. Bob Allen was arrested Wednesday afternoon at a local park after offering to perform a sex act on an undercover officer in exchange for $20, police said.
…Titusville police were at Veteran’s Memorial Park on East Broad Street on a burglary detail when they noticed an unshaven man acting suspicious, going in and out of the restroom three times, said Lt. Todd Hutchinson.
An undercover officer decided to go into one of the bathroom stalls, Hutchinson said. Moments later, Allen knocked on the stall door and offered to perform oral sex on the officer for $20, according to the police spokesman.
…Allen told a television reporter that what happened was a “misunderstanding.”
Well, that blows.
UPDATE: Holeee CRAP! He’s a McCAIN aide!
A day after four of Sen. John McCain’s top political strategists stepped down, the Arizona Republican’s presidential campaign was dealt another setback when the co-chairman of his Florida campaign was arrested Wednesday for allegedly offering an undercover police officer money for a sex act, Titusville police said.
…Allen told CNN affiliate WFTV the incident was “a very big misunderstanding.”
“This is a very gross mistake, a very big mistake,” he said, adding that this is what the judicial system is for.
I’m with him on the ‘gross’ and it might also explain why he needed the money… I don’t think McCain-Feingold covers donation solicitations like this.

Bobbin’ Bob!
I can name that tune!
“Bob-bob-bob bob-bob a man!”
Apparently, Florida doesn’t pay its representatives very well.
It’s a ‘catch-as-catch-can’ existence.
Be glad his name isn’t Bobbit. That might have been a really ugly news story!
Yeah, you don’t se meny stories like this.
Wait a minute, the first link says:
“Allen knocked on the stall door and offered to perform oral sex on the officer for $20.”
So he could have been, you know, fundraising for the campaign. But the second link says Allen offered the $20:
“He allegedly offered an undercover police officer $20 for the unspecified act.”
Now how am I supposed to get properly punny and sarcastic with conflicting info like that? Geez, I just can’t work this way.
So close, Ms. Sister:
Ba-ba-ba, ba Bob Allan
Ba-ba-ba, ba Bob Allan
Bob Allan
Unshaven man

Watch him slouchin’ and a stumblin’
Knockin’ and a-mumblin’

Went to the can
Looking for a jam
Didn’t understand
Now he’s stuck on CNN
Bob Allan!
Bob Al-la-a-an

Er, um, uh as a former Florida House staffer all I can say here publicly is…no comment.
