Slog - Comments on $400,000 Blowjob http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/400000_blowjob Bob Allen--the GOP state rep in Florida that was arrested after offering an undercover cop $20 and a blowjob in a public toilet--was convicted of solicitation last week, sentenced to six month's probation and fined $250. Allen has now resigned from the Florida state house, much to the delight of his GOP colleagues, and a special election has to be held to pick his replacement. And guess what?

We aren't whining - we think its funny. My entire blog is about watching breeders and the crazy things they do... including categories such as the "wall of shame" for any politician or public figure who has publicly decried something they themselves were caught doing. Its been a great year for our site - lots of fodder! Http://www.breederwatch.com
