Allen resigns from House -- but not right away

Housephotosized1838_3 Bob Allen has resigned from the Florida House of Representatives. The Merritt Island Republican, who was convicted last week on a sex solicitation charge, informed House Speaker Marco Rubio in a letter released moments ago:

"Due to requirements of my family and private life, and in order to seek justice in the upcoming appeal process, I regretfully would like to inform you that I will need to resign my elected position as the legislator for the House District 32 effective February 15, 2008, or when the Secretary of State can certify a replacement through a general election." (Here is the letter.)

4. I'm getting very confused over which Republicans are getting off where and how.

Reading the news is now akin to trawling for porn on the internet.

Edit: Well, I said I was confused.

6. Why does a CONVICTED CRIMINAL get to make laws for another 3 months?

I can't believe he isn't booted automatically.

This country is BROKEN.
