Sunshine State News has a video of Florida state Sen. Mike Bennett (R) "looking at pornographic material on his state-issued computer on the Senate floor."

Here's the video:

In it's current form, this is the equivalent of a 10 second news sound bite presented out of context. What was the measure the speaker was referencing that 'disrespects too many women in the state of Florida.'?  Does it have anything to do with the picture? Was the picture put on the computer by the senator?  He could be guilty, doing his job, or being set up.

Too many unanswered questions to draw any conclusions.

Anti: I think some of you gentleman would choose to apply a gun shaped remedy to any problem or potential problem that presented itself? Your reverance (sic) for firearms is maintained with an almost religious zeal. The mind boggles! it really does...

Me: Naw, we just apply a gun-shaped remedy to those extreme life threatening situations that call for it. All the less urgent problems we're willing to discuss.

They are saying they were talking about an abortion bill.... Here is the Senator's response:

"I didn't know it was in there. As soon as I realized what it was, I shut it," Bennett said. "I don't know how many girls there were, what they looked like or what they were wearing. I have no idea what the picture looked like because when I saw what it was, I closed it. I had (Sen.) Eleanor Sobel behind me on one side and Sen. Frederica Wilson on the other side. On the side of me is (Sen.) Nancy Detert, who has expressed her dislike for me for a long time. And then there's the Democrat, Dan Gelber, who's running for attorney general. And we were all talking about these issues. Are you out of your mind? There is no way that anybody would knowingly open up something like this in that situation."

He is also pretty mad at the reporter who broke the story:

Could have been one of those situations where a 'good ol' buddy' sent an email with a photo attached and he opened it not knowing WTH it was.

I file this in my 'WGAS' file...........  ::)  ::)

I'm still going with my "ooops," because it is out there.  The sound track does sound like they are discussing porn or prostitution or the likes.

Why would I think, anyone in Congress is worth continuing their political career.

Just another classless scumbag....., party is irrelevant.  Even if it was an email, from a friend,...whatever, his attention was right up there with those other Congress folks, that were playing Solitaire.

Un-professional, not representative, and deserves to go home a loser.

VOTE THE BUMS OUT!!!!
