Like, so totally racist
-Keep digging-
Remember FL. Rep. Bob Allen? He was the co-Chairman of John McCain's campaign in Florida who got busted soliciting an undercover cop for sex in a public restroom. Yeah, that guy.
His excuse is worse than his crime -- Allen offered the cop $20 because he was a nervous racist. Allen told police in Tampa after his arrest, "This (undercover officer) is a pretty stocky black guy, and there's other black guys around in the park that -- you know!" In close running for the most lame-assed excuse of the year, the report tells us that Allen 'said he was also frightened of the weather. So he fled to the men's room.'
In addition to revealing Allen's belief that everyone he talks to is a freakin' idiot, the report also reveals that Allen talks like a seventeen year old girl. Recounting the incident, Allen told police, "He goes, you want $20 if I give you (oral sex). I'm like I don't want (oral sex), but I'll tell ya... I can give you one. What if I give you one?"
So, this black guy, he was all like, "You're so arrested!" and Allen was all like, "Oh my God!" (MyFox Tampa Bay)
-Getting there-
Police in Iran broke up what they called a 'concert,' but with 200 people in an orchard, it really just qualifies as a big party with bands. The problem was the music - *gasp* -- both rock and roll.
Public prosecutor Ali Farhadi said that he was doing the kids a favor. "Most of them were wealthy young people who were not aware of the satanic nature of the concert," he said. "A female singer, who was performing, and some rock and rap music bands were among the detained."
Asked for comment by a reporter in a time machine, Treasury Dept. Federal Bereau of Narcotics Commission Harry Anslinger repeated the testimony he gave to Congress in 1937. "There are 100,000 marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers," he said. "Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others." He had no comment on hip hop, having never heard of it.
Hang on guys, at this rate you'll think all these guys are nuts in about 70 years. (Washington Post)
