State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor

Posted by samzenpus on from the let's-vote-on-this-instead dept.

Everyone knows how boring a debate on a controversial abortion bill can get on the Senate floor. So it's no wonder that Florida State Sen. Mike Bennett took the time to look at a little porn and a video of a dog running out of the water and shaking itself off. From the article: "Ironically, as Bennett is viewing the material, you can hear a Senator Dan Gelber's voice in the background debating a controversial abortion bill. 'I'm against this bill,' said Gelber, 'because it disrespects too many women in the state of Florida.' Bennett defended his actions, telling Sunshine State News it was an email sent to him by a woman 'who happens to be a former court administrator.'"

    Considering those laws I would say that that shot of women with their bikini tops moved to the side would not be porn, unless they were paid for it.

    Wait... What?

    So it's only porn if it's illegal?

    What the frack are you talking about?

    My question is: "Isn't his vote pre-decided by his political party?"

    It depends. If he's a republican, yes. If he's a democrat.. maybe.

    Right now, all republicans are voting along party lines but only some democrats are.

    Actually, he is part of OBAMA'S DEATH PANEL (it's bipartisan). He was just deciding on the health of the individuals and need for care.

    Sure, the Democrats may not be much better, but the Democrats aren't the ones constantly harping on "traditional values and morality".
