McCain's Florida campaign co-chair caught "headhunting"
Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 08:56 PM by blitzen

Only today, Florida state Representative Bob Allen (R), who is co-chairman of McCain's Florida campaign, was arrested in a Titusville park restroom on charges of solicitation after he approached a plain clothes police officer and offered to perform oral sex on the officer for $20.

It's conceiveable to me that with the recent news of McCain's flagging campaign this is actually an attempt on the part of the Arizona senator to up the ante on Giuliani. As you know it was only Monday night when Giuliani Southern regional campaign chair, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) admitted to soliciting prostitutes.

In this case, McCain's campaign is going beyond having a prominent supporter solicit prostitutes to actually having one who appears to be a prostitute, if perhaps only on a freelance basis.

1. Just another Republican fund raiser!

McCains fund raising has been pretty low lately.

Give the guy a medal for going above and beyond the call of duty!

14. No, he was offering to pay to provide the service.
I guess they don't have bars down there or something. What's the world coming to when you can't even give a hummer away? :shrug:

8. Wow...Fundraising That Bad?
:rofl:

I can see it now "Tricks And Treats For McCain"...$20 gets you the "sustaining" level donation...$100 gets you "World Traveler" status. :rofl:

Well at least the man's honest...he's earning the money just like most the others in that corrupt party are. He's just pleasuring a different clientele.

Now...c'mon...this is capitalism at work here, folks. :sarcasm:

16. At least he had the decency to be caught in Veteran's Memorial Park.
He may be a closeted Republican homosexual, but he supports the troops dag nabit!

20. HE offered to perform oral sex on the customer??!!!
For $20 lousy bucks!!!??? That sure as hell does not republican entrepreneurial spirit to me!!!
Unless of course that's what price their precious free market is bearing right now.

On one side this sordid story is great for a laugh. On the other, well, it's just gross..
