More Sweaty Republican Goodness!

Florida House representative almost caught with someone else's pants down.

Seems Florida state Rep. Robert "Bob" Allen (R-Merritt Island) can't keep it in his pants … or more specifically has some damn bad luck trying to get into someone else's. According to police, Allen was arrested Wednesday and charged with soliciting an undercover male officer for sex at a Central Florida park.

Guess the Florida House pays squat. The Republican public "servant" was purportedly about to charge $20.

And speaking of sweaters, guess whose Florida campaign Allen co-chairs? Yup. Mr. Sweater Boy, himself (see next blog entry, below).

Thanks to GLAAD's Steve Clawson for the heads-up.
