Glass Houses
When will our politicians learn that they need to take very seriously the fact that they CHOSE a career that places their life in the public spotlight? If you are going to live a life that involves acts you would not feel comfortable with the entire world knowing about, you are probably not suited for politics.
Here in Florida, State Rep. Bob Allen has been known up until now for trying to pass tougher public lewdness laws since being elected in 2000.
Now he is just known as the creep who agreed to pay $20 to perform oral sex on an undercover police officer in the men’s room of a Titusville park. According to the undercover officer, Allen peeked over a bathroom stall at the officer back in July and asked the officer to go somewhere private with him. Then, the officer told Allen, “I’m looking to get some money. Can you hook me up with $20.”
Allens’ attorneys argued he was not looking for sex, but though the undercover police offer was going to rob him and therefore went along with the situation until he could get away.
Riiight. Freak.
He submitted his resignation to House Speaker Marco Rubio. Rubio has been pressuring Allen to resign since November 9, when a Brevard County jury found him guilty of soliciting for sex.
Good riddance.
