Can things get any worse for John McCain's campaign?

Justin Rood at ABC News reports:

An official with the John McCain presidential campaign was arrested for allegedly soliciting oral sex from a policeman in Florida yesterday.

Bob Allen, a member of the Florida House of Representatives, is one of six Florida co-chairs for the Arizona Republican senator's 2008 White House bid.

The allegation is he offered an undercover cop $20 for a quickie.

This shouldn't be illegal at all, but that doesn't make it any less a hit for the McCain campaign.

    Soliciting What Exactly? (5.00 / 1) (#3)

    I'm curious, because MilitaryTracy thinks this guy was seeking "a little stress relief", for $20 bucks was he interested in ... how shall i say this tastefully... was he interested in Pitching or Catching for his $20 dollars worth?  I'm just wondering if GOPers generally seek stress relief in their gay encounters or if they're after thirst quenching.

    Mystery Solved!

    Thanks to http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/ we know that the arrest reports states that: "Allen engaged me in a conversation in which it was agreed that he would pay me $20.00 in order to perform a 'blow job' on me."

    So GOPers do seek out gay oral sex in order to quench their thirst and not, as many here have thought, to seek "a little stress relief".

    Well now we know why Rudy had this guy on his staff (get the pun?).

    crooked.......it must have been ages since this guy has received a blowjob.  He should ask my husband what the going rate in this house is!  Twenty bucks??!!  He can borrow my OLD vacuum if he cleans it afterwards for twenty bucks.

    that I had backwards.  Now I wonder what the $20 was for ;)  Pretty sweet deal.  A little fun and a tip.

    All I got to do is turn on the vacuum and start cleaning up a little and that's usually good for something.

    But, Sometimes, I wish all I had to do was pay 20 bucks. ;)

    How do you "turn on" the vacuum? Sounds like you have some killer attachments.

    Just so happens, that she thinks its sexy whenever I turn on the vacuum and start vacuuming. I don't understand it.
