Bob Allen is a Republican State Representative from Merritt Island, Florida. He’s a volunteer with the local little league and a donor to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida. He was arrested yesterday after offering to perform oral sex on an undercover police officer in exchange for twenty bucks.
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.
Bob Allen is also the co-chair of John McCain’s Florida campaign. There is a trend developing. David Vitter is Guiliani’s chairman for Louisiana. And Thomas Ravenel was Guiliani’s chairman in South Carolina. He got busted for selling cocaine.
I don’t know about you, but I think it’s fair to judge someone by the friends they keep. And I’m not too impressed with the friends of Guiliani and McCain.
There should be great outrage here. Twenty dollars is way too cheap. (boran2 ducks head)
I wonder whether the money was the point.
’twas snark.
Oh, I know.
I forgot to mention that the guy has a wife and a child.
I don’t get it. Was Allen offering to give the cop twenty bucks for a blowjob, or was he asking the cop to give him twenty bucks?
Fiscal irresponsibility is not exactly what the public would expect from a public servant. The point needs clarification.
He wanted to be paid.
So what’s the beef? If it were the other way around, I would expect that we would be seeing more votes for tax cuts for the wealthy, state tax cuts, in this case, I presume.
You should really clarify the economic implications of these essays before prematurely putting them out here. Another thing: did the cop actually pay him? And is this essay really about fiscal waste or Republicans who don’t know how to walk like Texans?
I don’t understand your confusion.
He was loitering around a public rest room so the cop went into the john to see if the guy would solicit sex. He did. He knocked on the stall and said something like, ‘I’ll suck your prick for twenty bucks.” Whereupon the cop opened the door and arrested him.
Isn’t that clear from a plain reading of the article?
Clear as a bell.
The problem is that my sense of humor has become all too subtle. Or is it maybe that I have lost it altogether. Get back to you when I find out.
I’ll bet it turns out that Allen was to pay the cop $20 to allow Allen to perform oral sex on the cop. Haven’t you seen The Basketball Diaries?
Not that bad, as it turns out. According to Booman, Allen wanted the cop to pay him. For a minute there I thought that Allen was incompetent.
If we have to have some Republicans in office, then I think a few like him is not a bad thing.

Well, mystery solved. Courtesy of TPM Reader VS we were able to track down the arrest report. As officer Kavanaugh explains in the arrest report “Allen engaged me in a conversation in which it was agreed that he would pay me $20.00 in order to perform a ‘blow job’ on me.”
Told ya!
Wow. That’s pretty desperate.

I didn’t realize that when I said that Republicans sucked that it should be taken so literally. And yes, how can any self-respecting member of the party of big business go down for such a paltry sum. Bob, where’s your self respect?
