[UPDATED] Icky Details Alert! McCain campaign chair peeped over handicapped stall seeking sex

It's amazing what he'll do for $20.

All the lurid (and downright icky!) details from the police report on Florida House member (and state co-chairman for Sen. John McCain's presidential bid) Bob Allen can be found at PageOneQ. Allen allegedly told a police officer moments before his arrest in a Florida park for soliciting sex, “How about across the bridge, it's quiet over there.”

Eeeeew. And I don't normally judge people on their looks, but, why do these guys always look so creepy like this. Like I said, icky.



UPDATE on “I'll do ya for 20 bucks”

I just love this detail: Rep. Bob Allen was the co-sponsor of a bill on increasing the penalties for “public lewdness.” Remember, he was arrested in a public park restroom.

The Clerk’s office for the Florida House of Representatives confirmed to News 13 that Rep. Bob Allen was a cosponsor of a bill increasing penalties for public “Lewdness and Indecent Exposure.”

According to legislative documents, the bill would have made it second degree felonies for public exposure and “unnatural and lascivious” acts with another person within 1,000 feet of public parks, as well as other public locations such as schools, child care centers, public beaches and community centers. It also would have made it easier for police to arrest someone for these crimes.

The money quote:

Lawyers for Allen said it is a big misunderstanding.

I'm sure it was, big fella.

McCain campaign chair arrested for sex in men's room

This is just getting sad now. McCain needs to give it up, I think. From PageOneQ:

A member of the Florida House of Representatives arrested yesterday on charges of soliciting a male undercover police officer is the co-Chairman of the Florida campaign of presidential hopeful John McCain, PageOneQ has learned.

Bob Allen (R) was appointed Florida co-Chairman of the McCain campaign in March. At the time, McCain said he was proud of the support he received from Allen and that Allen and his three co-chairs were "respected leaders in their communities and have real experience wrestling with the important issues of our day." McCain pledged to "turn to these leaders. Their counsel will be very helpful and their support invaluable."

Fox News Orlando reported the arrest yesterday evening. According to the report, Allen was charged with a second degree misdemeanor. Allen, who is married, was arrested in Titusville, Florida, approximately twenty-five miles east of the district he represents.

Allen has a strong conservative record. PageOneQ has obtained information regarding Allen's voting record and ratings by advocacy organizations. Between 2003 and 2006 Allen voted with the Christian Coalition over 90% of the time. Allen has been endorsed by the Florida Right to Life Committee and this year he voted to impose a 24-hour waiting period on third-trimester abortions.

Allen serves on the House Agriculture & Environment Appropriations Committee, Environmental Regulation Committee, State Infrastructure Council and the Utilities & Telecommunications Committee. He is chairman of the Spaceport & Technology Committee.
On his House web page, Allen's listed recreational interest is "water sports."

A message left seeking comment from McCain's campaign went unreturned by press time.
