You remember a little while back we brought you the story of Florida McCain campaign co-chair, Rep. Bob Allen (R). Right on the heels of Giuliani Southern Regional Chairman David Vitter's exposure as a serial user of prostitutes, Allen got caught in a Titusville park restroom offering to pay an undercover police officer to allow him to perform oral sex on him.Okay, I guess I can snark a little.
Now it turns out that Allen revealed the true reason for the alleged park-john-offer in a tape recorded statement he made just after his arrest.
"This was a pretty stocky black guy, and there was nothing but other black guys around in the park," said Allen, according to this article in the Orlando Sentinel. Allen went on to say he was afraid of becoming a "statistic."
Seriously? This is the best you can come up with? You'd rather be considered a racist, so afraid of black men that you'd offer to perform oral sex on them and pay them for the privilege, just to make the scary black men go away? Really? Because, you know, I had more respect for you when I thought you were just a deeply self-loathing, closeted homosexual. I can understand that. Being a racist with really bad self-defense skills...not so much.
