...Florida state representative Bob Allen, formerly John McCain's state campaign co-chair, was arrested in July after he offered a police officer $20 for the privilege of performing oral sex...
Post-arrest, Allen, appealing at once to homophobia and racism, mounted a "black (gay) panic" defense. You
see he wasn't really interested in giving head, he was just trying to save his neck. Apparently, the cop was
"a pretty stocky black guy" and "there were nothing but other black guys around in the park." Fearing he
was "about to become a statistic," Allen did what any other, rational, straight (straight!), white man would
do if he just so happened to find himself cruising a public restroom full of black men: fork over a Jackson and drop to your knees.
