Florida State Senator Caught Looking At Porn During Session (VIDEO)
Source: Talking Points Memo

Florida State Sen. Mike Bennett (R) was just trying to pass the time as his colleagues talked about what he apparently thought was some dull, dull abortion bill, when he got caught looking at a very NSFTSF image (Not Safe For The Senate Floor).

Cameras caught Bennett looking at a picture of four scantily clad girls at the beach. Bennett didn't do himself any favors with his explanation:

6. Sounds like a pretty middle of the road Republican
with some pretty lowish ratings from the fundamentalists' side of things. http://votesmart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=53728

8. Watch how he "unhides" his actions after viewing the photo
He had his screen angled down while looking at the picture, then angles it back normally afterward. There was no "whoa, what the hell is that" moment. He was sneakin' a peek.

Pretty tame image, in my opinion.

9. If this had been a lowly government worker, they'd be fired on the spot.
Since it's a Republican state Senator, my guess is they will ban cameras from the statehouse.

13. That pic is... porn?
OK, I'll use the word "porn" if I get the chance to argue with a right-winger over that.

But it ain't.

22. Agreed - who put a black bar over the bikini tops? It looks like
an ad for Florida's beaches to me.

15. Hey, it was probably the least-despicable thing he did all day!
I'd much rather Repuke legislators be watching porn than (shudder) passing laws.

17. And the weird thing is....
He'll keep his job!

The Moral and Holy crowd will simply vote this bozo back into office.

Their logic? (ha) "Wellllll, he's just a good ole' boy, being a boy!" Winky-Winky!

BUT...anything Prez O wants...SCREEEEEECH!

I hope my snarkage is clear.

18. I wish the video was cut differently
Why did they cut off the part of the video that shows when he opened the image so we can see how long it was actually open? I'm not defending this in any way... I just hate slanted news. His excuse was that it was only open for a couple seconds, and he closed it when he saw it. Let us see how long it was actually open by giving us the full video.
