Sen. Mike Bennett Caught Looking at Porn on Senate Floor (Fl.)

http://www.sunshinestatenews.com/story/sen-mike-bennett-caught-looking-porn-senate-floor


No one will argue that sitting on the Senate floor during session can get a little boring, but looking at porn is probably not the best way to pass the time.

On Thursday morning, Sunshine State News captured exclusive video of Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, looking at pornographic material on his state-issued computer on the Senate floor.

Ironically, as Bennett is viewing the material, you can hear a Senator Dan Gelber's voice in the background debating a controversial abortion bill.

"I'm against this bill," said Gelber, "because it disrespects too many women in the state of Florida."

Bennett defended his actions, telling Sunshine State News it was an email sent to him by a woman "who happens to be a former court administrator."

"I was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill," Bennett said.

"I opened it up and said holy ! What's on my screen? and clicked away from it right away."

-snip-

But the one image we caught on camera wasn't the only thing Bennett had viewed. It appears other files, including at least two videos, may have been downloaded, too. He was also caught on camera watching a video of a dog running out of the water and shaking itself off. It is unclear if he also thought that was an email about a bill being debated on the floor.

We offered Bennett an opportunity to prove his statements to Sunshine State News by showing the executive editor and videographer the email record with a government-related subject line, but after talking to the Senate's top lawyer, he declined to let us see those records.

1. Well Mike Bennet, R-Poontang
Hope that big unit trannie porn you were looking at was worth it . . . . .

Most chambers of public process, courtrooms, city council, legislative floor, have dire warnings indicating that inattention of any kind is disrespectful and will not be tolerated.

Try bringing your favorite bodice ripper to court with most judges presiding and you will almost certainly be singled out. Why someone thinks it would be remotely acceptable in session with the world watching? Wow - but republicans aren't typically recognized for their attention to consequence.
