So Many Republican Hypocrites, So Little Time

Bob Allen

Welcome back to the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

Well, on July 13, BuzzFlash was way ahead of the pack in calling attention to yet another GOP elected-official pervert, "Conservative" Florida Republican State Representative Bob Allen.

When we last left Allen, he had just been arrested in his home district for soliciting an undercover cop. What was the charge? That he offered to perform fellatio on the officer for a measly $20. As we noted, not only was Allen accused of a sex crime, but he also was revealed as someone who would go down cheap to perform sex.

Oh those legions of repressed and psychologically twisted Republicans, they aren't just perverted; they are perverted perverted.

Anyway, the rest of the media has now caught up with BuzzFlash's keen eye for GOP deviants because of Allen's rather creative -- and racist -- excuse for his odd sexual negotiation (in a Titusville, Florida, public restroom in a park, no less).

Allen is now claiming it was his fear of black men in the area that made him offer to pay a couple of ten spots to blow someone. As Jon Stewart said (and we are paraphrasing here) of Allen's "excuse": "I thought if I had a c*ck in my mouth, the black men wouldn't hit me."

According to the police report:

In a written statement released Thursday, Titusville Officer Danny Kavanaugh recalled entering the restroom twice and said he was drying his hands in a stall when Allen peered over the stall door.

After peering over the stall a second time, Allen pushed open the door and joined Kavanaugh inside, the officer wrote. Allen muttered " 'hi,' " and then said, " 'this is kind of a public place, isn't it,' " the report said.

The officer said he asked Allen about going somewhere else and that the legislator suggested going "across the bridge, it's quieter over there."

And then the negotiations for sex ensued.

Allen's excuse of blaming "the black man" follows the basic subtext of most Republican "underground" racism. If it's not blame the blacks and Mexicans in the U.S., it's blame the swarthy Arabs in Iraq and the Persians in Iran.

Instead of facing the darkness in their own tortured souls, too many Republicans blame dark people for their own sordid perversions.

That, of course, makes them hypocrites of the most loathsome kind.

And Bob Allen may yet be found innocent -- if he manages to get a jury of racist peers.

But it won't keep him from receiving his second infamous honor as the BuzzFlash GOP Hypocrite of the Week.

Until next week, remember our motto: So many Republican hypocrites, so little time.

Catch up with you soon.
