Sen. Mike Bennett Caught Looking at Porn on Senate Floor
Sunshine News ^

Posted on 05/03/2010 4:35:46 PM PDT by AlanD

No one will argue that sitting on the Senate floor during session can get a little boring, but looking at porn is probably not the best way to pass the time.

On Thursday morning, Sunshine State News captured exclusive video of Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, looking at pornographic material on his state-issued computer on the Senate floor.

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."

"I was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill," Bennett said.

"I opened it up and said holy [expletive]! What's on my screen? and clicked away from it right away."

Sunshine State News could not verify how long the image of four bikini-clad women with their tops exposed was open before our cameras started rolling on it, but it was up for at least three seconds before it disappeared from the screen.

I would need to see the evidence before I presume guilt or innocence.

Unbidden images of bare female breasts can be construed to be porn.

That's some erectile tissue there at the tips eh. All it takes!

The Senator was not looking for it so that's what it is. Now if he'd been looking for it he'd probably think of it as something akin to "soft porn" ~ nice but not what he wanted eh!

“I was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill,” Bennett said.

Not a real good defense for someone who is getting paid to PAY ATTENTION to what’s going on in the people’s house.
If you’re too bored there, perhaps you need replacing?

Hey Mike, all you have to do is look around you on the Senate floor and you’ll notice enough pornography to last a lifetime.

A congressman looking at half naked ladys? Whats the surprise that he is heterosexual? He closed the window pretty quickly after he saw what the email was. LOL

Oy vey, I’m not so sure I believe him. I have a really good virus scanner and firewall, plus my internet provider does a great job of getting rid of those kinds of unwanted emails. And I’ve had maybe 2 pop ups give me a nasty unwanted surprise in the last maybe 6 years or so. The only other thing I can think of is, maybe someone did send him that email and he opened it not knowing what was in it.

The only difference between art and porn these days is a government endowment check.

Exactly what I was going to post. I thought they meant porn. that ain’t porn. I’ve seen porn (by accident, of course) and that ain’t it.

The SEC was looking at thousands upon thousands of hours of porn and nobody said diddly.
