Now that toilet troll Bob Allen has resigned his Floridian Republican seat, it's up to voters to find an appropriate replacement. And they're going to pay the price:
It could cost taxpayers more than $400,000 to elect a replacement to serve the remainder of Rep. Bob Allen's term in the Florida House.But state Republican leaders and colleagues, who pressured the disgraced seven-year lawmaker to resign, and potential candidates hoping to replace him said Monday that it will be money well-spent.
"It's certainly unfortunate that the cost is what it is," said Erin VanSickle, a spokeswoman for state GOP Chairman Jim Greer. "But the voters in that district deserve a voice in the House of Representatives and shouldn't have to wait."
Bob Allen should have to pay that. Or maybe the Republican party. They did, after all, try to push him out.

The gleeful tone you've been taking towards this story really sickens me.
Apparently you think it's just great that cops are entrapping gay men who cruise for sex in public toilets, and ruining their lives in the process.
A lot of the men who get caught doing this are neither closeted nor married. I personally have known at least three openly gay men who were arrested for cruising in parks.
But why should it matter if the victims are in the closet or not? The issue is harassment of gay people, pure and simple.
The original police report is transparent bullshit. The cop goes to great lengths to avoid admitting that his motivation in following Allen into the toilet was to entrap him so he could bust him. It's very unconvincing.
Please don't tell me that all the cops who still — in 2007 –put so much time and energy into this activity are thinking "well that's what he gets for being a closeted Republican." No. They're thinking, "Yippee, I busted me another faggot."
And why? Because straight men hate homosexuals. 70% of American men think homosexuality is wrong, and 50% of them think it's disgusting. If you think attitudes are any better than they were 30 years ago, you're sadly mistaken.
Enjoy your schadenfreude, boys. But I frankly think it's insane for anybody in the gay community to actually be cheering on this outdated and very dangerous manifestation of officially sanctioned homophobia. You or someone you know could be next.
You are so missing the point, the celebration is in the fact that these closeted self-hating fucks go around displaying their anti-homo actions within a position of power, all the while being cum guzzling bathroom bottoms and getting busted spotlights their hypocrisy. Fuck them and it is pleasing to see their careers suffer while we sit back and laugh at their dismay.
