More fun with Blowin' Bob Allen

I can't make these stories more ridiculous than the truth, so I'll just direct you over to the Florida Progressive Coalition Blog:

From Allen compares Rubio to Castro, still won’t resign:

And you thought it couldn’t get any worse! Bob Allen suffers another bout of foot-in-mouth.

From the Palm Beach Post:

Rep. Bob Allen said he was disappointed House Speaker Marco Rubio removed him from two committees this morning because he was charged of soliciting an undercover police office. Allen said he is innocent and shouldn’t be punished before his trial starts.

“In Cuba, that’s where you are charged by police, wrapped up and sent off as guilty without a trial,” Allen said. “That’s a Cuba thing, something Fidel Castro does.”

Rubio, of course, is the first Cuban-American to preside over the Florida House. But Allen insisted that’s not what he meant.

Man, a closeted gay racist Republican just can't get a break anymore, can he?

Also today, from You’ve Got to Be Kidding:

Florida Today: Allen Reaches Out to the Black Community

State Rep. Bob Allen is reaching out to local NAACP groups to explain remarks he made about blacks after he was arrested last month on sex charges.

[...]

In a brief telephone interview Tuesday as he drove his cats to the veterinarian’s office, Allen said his comments had been “taken out of context and character.”

[...]

Allen has denied the charges and said he does not plan to resign from the Legislature. He is termed out of the House next year but plans to run for a seat in the state Senate.

I think he’s serious about running for state Senate.

Indeed, he appears to be serious. For me, it's almost worth moving back to Brevard County and taking him on as his Democratic opponent.

Almost. But not quite.

Stay tuned for the next laughably absurd thing Blowin' Bob says or does. Because you just know it's going to happen ...
