Vanity Fair Peeps, Too: Mike Bennett 'Porn' Video Just Won't Die

It keeps turning up, that maybe not-so-porny video of state Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, sitting at his seat on the Florida Senate floor, checking out a line of lusty, barely clad beach babes on his computer. What a punctuation mark it put on the last day of the 2010 session of the Legislature.

Well, lo and behold, here's that well-traveled video again, gracing a page in the Sept. 1 edition of VanityFair.com. It's the main illustration for a story headlined, "A Brief History of Elected Officials and Pundits Browsing the Internet During Important Meetings."

My, my, how this particular video, shot by Sunshine State News multimedia journalist Lane Wright, keeps turning up day after day after day. Another day, another hit (usually several) on Sen. Bennett watching what some might call "porn," others, well, fleshy ladies in a state of proud undress at the beach. There. How's that, Sen. Bennett? Fair? Oh, wait, there was a discussion going on in the Senate during the viewing ... what was it? ... abortion? The ultrasound bill?

This video won't die. Nor should it.
