Man, this is FUN, FUN, FUN. I just love watching these fuck-tard scumbags get it in the nuts.

I am very sad for his family. How could he do this with four children at home? This guy is a total piece of shit.

Someone should tell him about masturbation. Obviously he missed that stage. If the wife is unwilling, Rosy is not.

Just out from the AP - Another Republican bites the dust!

"Bob" Allen, of Merrit Island, on second degree misdemeanor charges
for soliciation for prostiution.

on East Broad St. in Titusville.

The park was under surveillance by a detail of undercover police
officers.

out of the men's restroom 3 times.

Minutes later, he solicited an undercover male officer inside the
restroom, offering to perform oral sex for $20.

Officers realized he was a public figure after the arrest.

Allen, a Republican, represents District 32 of the State House of
Representatives.

The district spans parts of Brevard and Orange counties.

"Vitter then released his statement to the AP admitting to using the service Monday night. Vitter was a member of the House at the time."

This should read "On Monday night, Vitter then released his statement to the AP admitting to using the service." Otherwise, it would appear (however delightfully) that V used the service on Monday.

Steve5117,

Wouldn't you agree - they need to add something under "recreational interests" for Rep Bob Allen?

Either that - or "water sports" refers to his "restroom activities."

This is sad. I care about the wife and children. Vitter is a hypocrite, but who pays the price?

TheraP whatever it is it must be a mouthful!

I wonder what he tells his wife? "Hon, I'm going out for a whopper"?

I wonder if he swallows?

Why couldn't this cocksucker wait until Saturday for a good All Muck is Local story?

The republicans are really blowing it!

Help, I can't stop, they are making it too easy!

Bob Allen, one of the State Reps in Florida lives in Brevard County. Cocoa Beach, Kennedy Space center; to help you get your bearings.

Every state rep in Brevard County is Republican and has been for quite some time. Even the old Democrats in office jumped ship to the dark (Republican) side so that they could remain in office. Just a bunch of whores in my opinion.

It’s sad to state that the majority of the voting public in Brevard County looks for the “R” next to a name to cast their ballot. Who the person is or what the person does is not important.

How long will it take for everyone in Brevard County to understand that they are being screwed by the Republicans representing them?

Republican is the new Dirty Word.

Last Friday, the Vitter Critters told their classmates that "Daddy is a U.S. Senator!"

This week, they get to say "Daddy is a liar, and cheated on our Mommy with prostitutes!"

The modern-day GOP: Giving new meaning to "Family Values."

And thanks, TheraP, for info on "Bob" Allen of FL. Wonder how he got the name "Bob"???

PEACE

What do you guys think about Carville's comment today to Wolf Blitzer about Vitter wearing diapers when he visited the prostitutes in N.O.? Also up on Wonkette. Louisiana would have forgiven him his sex-capades, but when a Senator strays into the fetish category, Louisiana don't play that. $10 says the diapers do him in, and he resigns.

Is it time to create a BONER award for the players as we near the impending implosion of the Republican Party?

Bush's belief in prayer has Republicans on their knees all over the country.

Boy, did Bob ever blow it.

Raw Story is reporting that Flynt has opened 20 investigations into Dem and Republic politicos:

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Flynt_Hustler_sex_scandal_investigations_involve_0711.html

Hustler publisher Larry Flynt said Wednesday that investigators working for the magazine are involved in more than 20 investigations relating to his recent call for information on Washington sex scandals.

The investigations include "high ranking Republican and Democrat members of the Senate and the House," Flynt said at a press conference in Los Angeles, in which RAW STORY participated via conference call.

"We've got some really good information here," he said.

I don't think that every Republican is a pervert, but it seems that a signficant percentage of America's perverts are elected Republican officials of the holier-than-thou persuasion. This is way past decadence. I am going to desist looking. Being a pillar of salt would be bad for my blood pressure.

Just follow the trail: Lady astronaut. Diapers. "Bob" and water sports. Vitter.

Republicans. They take an oath to the president - and this is the result!!!

Isn't prostitution also illegal in every state but Nevada? Vitter's all for law'n'order, family values, mom and apple pie, no? In addition to committing a sin, as he puts it, didn't he commit a crime, a buncha times? He probably expects Jesus to forgive the sin, since belief is all it takes to have your sins washed away. And Scooter shows that the right friends can have your crimes washed away, too.
Vitter's hypocrisy is just another case of Republcan exceptionalism. When they're involved in a scandal, things aren't so black-and-white, not so simple. Like when W was asked about his failed business Harken Oil, he said it wasn't so simple, that there were shades of gray. "In the corporate world," Bush said, "sometimes things aren't exactly black and white when it comes to accounting procedures."

You go Larry. Keep 'em coming. There have to be plenty more. I am sorry for Vitter's family, but I can't say I'm sorry for Vitter.

I guess we have to remove these slime by scraping them out, one by one.

RE: Bob Allen who is co-chair of Florida's McCain campaign -- TPM link here

Josh Marshall astutely suggests that the McCain campaign is trying to "up the ante" on Rudy for appointing people about to implode to key positions.

Although insightful, I beg to differ. I read on Salon that the McCain campaign has burned through $22 million in six months and only has $2 million left in the bank.

I think Bob Allen was just trying to take fund raising into his own hands - or maybe mouth...

He's collecting donations, $20 and a mouthful at a time.

Most political figures are blackmailed, not bribed since a blackmailed person is easier to control and it is cheaper. This is why we must get involved in the primary elections so that we have something to choose from that WE CHOOSE. It does you no good to rubber stamp one of a field of crooks and perverts that ultimately is owned by the central bankers. RE-ELECT NOBODY!

It's well known here in the Bible Belt that the more holier-than-thou you are about sexual matters, the more likely it is that you are ass-deep in what you publicly label "perversion."

It's almost a Newtonian response. Condemn homos, gotta suck dick. Praise marriage, gotta fuck whores. Promote abstinence for teens, gotta rape little kids.

Whatever they bloviate against, you know they're doin' it in the dark. Guaranteed.

Both Vitter and Allen should be REQUIRED to take an HIV test so their wives know whether they are infecting them or not. Remember the Republithug motto: "Do as I say, not as I do". Both these people committed a crime and BOTH should face the consequences. I feel for their poor families but then again, the Republithug party is the party of "family values". hehehe
