“Hey, Buddy.”

posted by on July 12 at 19:59 PM

Talking Points Memo has the police report that details Florida state Rep. Bob Allen’s bathroom cruising technique, quotes his pick-up lines, and puts to rest any questions about who was supposed to blow who for that $20.

Florida State Rep. Bob Allen—conservative Republican, married man, father of one, and campaigner against public lewdness and sexual predators—is an oral bottom who lewdly preys on police officers in public restrooms.

For those of you keeping score at home, that makes Allen a cocksucking hypocrite—not to be confused with U.S. Senator David Vitter, the diaper-wearing hypocrite from Louisiana.

Oh, and check this out—it’s a collection of David Vitter’s campaign ads from 2004, dug up for our enjoyment by those indispensable muckrakers at TPM. The first one is priceless.

Things tend to come in threes… so gee, I wonder who’s next?

That police report seems to open Allen right-on up, doesn't it?

I thought it was celebrity deaths that came in threes. Regardless--watch out, Fred Thompson!

It isn't news to most that there's a huge disconnect between how politicians are presented and marketed in TV ads and who they really are, but - gawd! - I think I need a shower.

And isn't it touching that he has such caring for the sick little ones (this man really uses kids, doesn't he?). So caring, I bet, that he's opposed anything that comes close to universal health care for them.

Reminds me of those old, machine Southern pols - back when people were supposedly less sophisticated - who'd drag their kids out for the photo, each wearing a t-shirt that said, "Vote for my daddy."

It is sooo cheesy to use one's kids in a campaign.

I like that the cop's report puts the words "blow job" in quotes. I guess that's what all the young moderns are calling it now.

It sucks that Dan can't go around the country personally when stuff like this happens. I would love to see a youtube clip of Dan asking Bob Allen questions like:
Why would a big fucking faggot like yourself have such an anti-gay voting record?
I think we need more politicians shocked by the tone of the questions they are asked.
Verbally gonzo journalism?

Leeerker, that sounds like a great idea. Could we get the Dems to pay for it? Maybe get CNN or MSNBC to bring him is as an expert?

These things happen in threes, but what if the third one is actually Dan, who is revealed to be a homophobic, fire-and-brimstone preacher?

Funny how the police report reads like such bullshit. I have no doubt the guy was looking for a BJ, but does anyone believe the cop's story - "I went into the bathroom to adjust my radio", "there were no paper towels to dry my hands so I went into the handicapped stall..".

Funny in this case, but this is sort of lies that cops get away with every day, once they decide you're guilty they pretty much feel free to lie about anything and everything involved.

Here's a rule that won't keep you out of jail, but it does help scare cops aways. When picking up a ho boy from an interstate bathroom, and your face or their face is new, ask to see the dick first, before talking about price. Once you see the dick, say "how big is that when hard?" or anything, just get them talking about their dick. This will break the ice and or will get the cop on tape talking about the size of his dick and you about how tasty it looks. Its a stone cold cop doesn't mind taking his dick out for you to see, and a real ho boy will just go with, since it is legal to take a dick out in a public restroom. This has been your public service announcement for the day.

Because when it comes to cheating, we're not Republicans or Democrats, we're just horny old hypocrites.

Police ought to be able to spell 'quiet'. It's really not difficult.

@10... i have my doubts about that story as well. not only from what is written, but from what is not written. no where in that report does it describe when the illegal solicitation occurred. did the cop make the offer or did the guy? was allen looking for some anon action and wouldn't normally pay, but the cop was hot and only asked for $20... who knows.

asking to see someone's dick is enough to get you in trouble (certianly exposing yourself to an undercover cop is enough), just as asking if they are a cop is, and, in seattle, if you drive or walk by a undercover officer posing as a prostitute more than one.

sex for money should be legal, and not just because it is difficult to enforce. but that doesn't change the fact that this guy is being exposed as a hypocrite.

Hmm. 10 & 19: You are right. That police report is kind of shaky. A good defense lawyer will have a field day with what IS NOT written in that report. Also, the action in the stall really leave open as to who was cruising whom. Most men who are not interested would go apeshit if he saw some dude looking over the stall at him, much less allow him to come in. This case might not result in a conviction, but I am sure glad it has taken this fat, hompphobic troll down a few notches!
