Bob "Blow Job" Allen Cruises for White Jurors Instead of Gay Sex
Bob "Blow Job" Allen Cruises for White Jurors Instead of Gay Sex

Posted by Howie Klein at 3:00 PM on October 3, 2007.

Howie Klein: Allen is feeling a little uncomfortable after having made some racist remarks about people of color after being apprehended.


You remember Florida Rep. Bob Allen, right? He's the homophobic Republican zealot who was chairing John McCain's presidential campaign in the Sunshine state part time and cruising public toilets offering men crisp twenty dollar bills if they let him perform fellatio on them the rest of the time. He asked that his trial be postponed until November 5 so they could find more suburban white people for the jury pool-- feeling a little uncomfortable after having made some racist remarks about people of color after being apprehended and charged.

Yesterday's Orlando Sentinel reported that he's back in Tallahassee making believe everything is back to normal. It isn't

"I suspect it will be extremely difficult and uncomfortable for him during the special session," said Aubrey Jewett, a political science professor at the University of Central Florida. "The leadership has made it clear they want him gone."

...House Speaker Marco Rubio has said that as a member of the House, Allen "is entitled to come" to the 10-day session.

"He's got some issues he's trying to face. And we'll do what's best for the institution," Rubio said.


Allen's fellow Republicans decided what was best for the institution would be to strip him of his committee chairmanship, shun him and banish him to a far corner of the House chamber where the freshmen Democrats sit. If Allen feels ostracized... that's the idea. And they have more unpleasantness in store for him in the hope of getting him to just go away. Florida's party of fake Christianity is doing there pretty much what Republican hypocrites in the U.S. Senate are threatening to do to Larry Craig if he doesn't resign and stop embarrassing them with his presence, reminding people how much hypocrisy is entailed in being a member of the GOP these days. But legal experts and rabid right extremists, ex-allies of Craig's, are now concluding that nothing is going to get Craig out of the Senate until his term expires, regardless of what Mitch McConnell and the GOP leadership wants.

2. How come this man never made the mainstream news like Craig?

Sure he's not a Senator, but the similarities between the two are so striking (And both happened so recently), I'm surprised it never even came up in any discussions that I can recall.

6. It was reported on CNN and the others.
But it lasted only a few days unlike Larry Craig.

17. he went into a public toilet and offered a black guy $20 plus a blowjob...
The guy turned out to be an undercover cop.

Allen promptly started telling everyone who would listen that he only offered the guy 20 bucks and a BJ because he was afraid that this guy, and other black guys in the area, would hurt him if he didn't.

Leaving open the question of why he would offer a presumed mugger a crisp twenty dollar bill and a sex act, instead of the standard here's my wallet here's my watch that's everything just don't hurt me, okay?


I guess he figures that if he trucks in enough hand-picked boobs from the suburbs, he might end up with a jury gullible enough to believe him.
