SHAME ON YOU! A STATE SENATOR GETS CAUGHT WATCHING TITTIES DURING AN ABORTION HEARING!

Politicians beware: If you're checking your e-mail, make sure there isn't a camera watching you.

This is a lesson learned the hard way by State Sen. Mike Bennett of Florida, who was recently caught on camera looking at a photo featuring topless women in bikinis.

"I was just sitting there, bored as they were debating the abortion bill," Bennett told the online news site, Sunshine State News, who recorded the video. "I opened it up and said 'holy ****! What's on my screen?' and clicked away from it right away."

The video shows Bennett, a Republican, looking at the photo for only a few seconds. The initial story, which went online last week, suggested the senator was looking at porn, something he later called untrue.

"During final deliberations on the Senate floor to fulfill my sworn duty to do the people’s business, I opened e-mails sent to me and discovered one disturbing and offensive transmission that I immediately moved to the trash," he said.

"Unfortunately, this reality was not enough to dissuade an Internet-based reporter from taking an innocent act – opening e-mail - and sensationalizing it into something it never was in an attempt to smear my reputation."

The Herald Tribune has since found the person who sent the e-mail, a former court administrator and old friend of Bennett.

Fay Rice told the Florida newspaper she sent the e-mail because Bennett missed a class reunion, and as a joke sent several images that weren't really from the event to show him what he'd missed.

"He shouldn't have opened any of my e-mails on the Senate floor," she said. "I have kind of a ribald sense of humor."
