Bush Comes to Shove in Fla. Politics

Porn and politics seldom mix—at least that's the impression left with Davie (Fla.) Town Council candidate Phillip Busey, one of four people running for the District 3 seat.

Supposedly dedicated to turf, Busey's HaulOver.org website instead was affiliated with bush: 20 pornographic websites featuring bush and bearing names like Lonely Wives Looking for Casual Sex, Hot Models on Nude Sex Webcams and Porn 100 Percent Hardcore and Free, as a matter of fact.

Fellow candidates, including incumbent council member Susan Starkey and former council member Terry Santini, are making the most of the trimmed-lawn mishap.

"[The site is] registered to me and I developed the page…, [but] this is a personal issue involving consenting adults," Busey, an associate professor of turf grass science at the University of Florida, told the Sun-Sentinel. "This campaign should be about the issues."

Regardless, Busey removed the offending links after a story about the controversy appeard in the Sun-Sentinel on Wednesday. The page now bears links to Miami Beach tourism websites.
