John McCain, Florida, Gay Prostitution, $20 - Just Read the Post
Can John McCain get a break? Hot on the heels of the loss of his top campaign management, the resignation of key Iowa team members, and news that the campaign will actually report a debt in the next few days, we've got.... a gay prostitution scandal. What's next? Locusts in campaign HQ?
Florida State Represenative Bob Allen, co-chair of McCain's Florida campaign, has been arrested for offering an undercover male police officer $20 in exchange for a blowjob in a public bathroom.
The detail you're dying to know (I'm sure) isn't clear. This Orlando Sentinel story says Allen was arrested for "offering to perform a sex act". But TV reports out of Florida say Allen was to have the sex act performed on him. It was to sort out details like this that I got into journalism.
And is there an element of hypocrisy here? Of course, there's more than enough to go around these days. Allen recently introduced HB 1475 into the Florida state legislature, a bill called "Lewd or Lascivious Exhibition" that lays a mightier smackdown on offenders of Allen's stripe. (Question: Was he doing research?) And the Rainbow Democratic Club, a central Florida gay rights group, recently identified Allen as one of the region's most hostile legislators towards gays. (Opposition research, then?)
We all know what's at the bottom of this scandal. Gay sweaters.
Update: Big question answered.
Looks like the GOP needs a "gay hunt" to root out the gays amongst them and clean house. McCain is down, Rudy is next. That only leaves Thompson and Mitt.
The original article states that he offered to preform a sex act on the undercover cop in exchange for $20.
We all knew McCain and his camp are hard up for money but I didn't think they would stoop as low as hooking.
What? You've got to pay people to give *them* a blowjob in the US these days? Rough economy over there!
This is such just desserts. Perhaps Allen was cracking down on lewd and lascivious acts in an attempt to reduce his competition. A girl has to use all her resources sometimes to get a man. I bet Hutchinson was hot. BlowhardUK, look at Allen - of course he has to pay someone to let him get them off. We need more of these kind of outings to show people how full of it the right wing relly is on all these social issues. Next we need a story to break about a right-winger paying for his daughter's abortion. Then again, for right wing loyalees, you'd need their rep to come by their house and literally shit on their head before they'd see the light.
Looks like the only gay sweater McCain needs to worry about was in a hot Florida john offering $20 and a BJ to an undercover cop.
Very cleaver, Stevorama. I admit it took me a moment.
