Bored Senator Views Porn During Floor Debate

Posted: 05 May 2010 11:52 AM PDT

A Florida state lawmaker who is running for a seat in the United States Congress this year was caught viewing pornographic photos on his state-issued computer during a legislative session.

A local news organization captured Mike Bennett, a Republican state senator, looking at a graphic photo of half-naked women on the Florida Senate floor during a debate last week. The embarrassing video has circulated throughout the internet and has been aired by several celebrity gossip television shows.

It features the back of the senator's balding head as he stares at a laptop computer screen with four giggling women—clad in skimpy bikini bottoms—embracing each other. Their breasts are exposed and there is little doubt that the photo is in any way related to the legislative debate that the senator was elected to participate in.

Bennett defends his actions and claims he simply opened an electronic mail sent to him by a woman who happens to be a former court administrator. Why did he open the crass personal email during a crucial floor discussion related to abortion, his constituents may wonder?

"I was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill," Bennett told the local news agency that broke the story. The lawmaker claims that he was shocked to see the images of the naked women and immediately "clicked away from it." The senator was also captured viewing videos during the session, including a piece in which a dog runs out of the water and shakes itself off.

A Florida Senate spokesperson offered a rather comical explanation for Bennett's behavior, pointing out that there was some confusion about an email he received. "He thought it was an email about an item being debated on the Senate floor," the official spokesperson said. "As soon as he realized it wasn't he closed the page."

A columnist at the news agency that broke this story calls Bennett an arrogant liar who broke the public's trust. Most thinking Floridians know that, at the very least, his behavior—checking personal, tasteless email during a debate on the Senate floor—was disrespectful and contemptuous.

State Promotes Alcohol Consumption

Posted: 05 May 2010 09:15 AM PDT

In a flagrant waste of tax resources, the state agency that regulates the alcohol industry in Pennsylvania is spending tens of thousands of dollars on an advertising campaign to promote alcohol consumption.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board has purchased radio and print ads pushing booze as the perfect Mother's Day present, according to a Philadelphia newspaper report that points out the irony of it all; that the commercials are brought to you by the state agency whose mission in part is to protect against alcohol-peddling and to ensure responsible drinking.

The liquor board manages the alcohol industry in Pennsylvania and is in charge of all licensing and educational programs on the effects of alcohol. Yet the public officials that run it see nothing wrong with forking over $142,000 to encourage buying vodka and wine as Mother's Day gifts rather than, say, flowers or chocolate.

The commercials, broadcast on two Pittsburgh radio stations, tout vodka flavors such as cherry, strawberry kiwi and tropical punch. The vodka can be purchased for rock-bottom prices at the state's wine and spirits stores, according to the ad which also features a recipe for the perfect strawberry kiwi and lemonade cocktail. Another ad suggests wine as the perfect gift for mom.

The idea, according to liquor board officials, is to "enhance an already wonderful celebration." The commercial actually "celebrates motherhood," according to an agency spokesperson quoted in the news story. Opponents point out that the state should not be promoting alcohol consumption under any circumstances. At least the ads warn listeners to drink responsibly
