Say Anything, Bob Allen (an Update of Sorts)

Bob Allen explains why it feels safer to offer blow jobs in park bathrooms than not.

Florida's John McCain campaign co-chair, Republican state rep, and some might say "dorkalicous bear" Bob Allen sets the record straight about his arrest for allegedly offering $20 for oral sex to an undercover cop. Allen wants the world to know that the reason he was in that bathroom was because he was scared of the "black guys around in the park." He says he would have said anything to just get away. Like: "I'll blow you if you don't hurt me"?

Check this video of his press conference, and see if you think Allen's lip-smacking lisp is at all convincing.

If you poke around Allen's official Florida representative page, you can learn about interesting things like the committees he serves on and his "Recreational Interest" (!!!).
