Ron Paul Gets The All Important Hooker Endorsement
Who knew they were such a powerful voting bloc?:
RENO, Nevada — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner.
Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch near Carson City, says he was so impressed after hearing Paul at a campaign stop in Reno last week that he decided to raise money for him.
Hof and two of his prostitutes, Brooke Taylor and a woman who goes by Air Force Amy, attended a Paul news conference.
The women say they liked Paul’s message, but wanted to learn more about other candidates before making a decision.
Paul spokesman Jeff Greenspan say while Paul does not personally condone prostitution, the candidate does not think it’s the role of the federal government to regulate such activity.
Greenspan says Paul is a diehard supporter of states rights who recognizes that Nevada voters and lawmakers have decided prostitution should be legal in the state.
Paul also is a devout Christian who opposes abortion.
Whew. Glad they got that cleared up.
One note aside from the snark: I find myself in the rather uncomfortable position of agreeing with his view on the federal government’s involvement on the regulating of the, er, profession. It should be a state’s right to make that determination, not the fed’s.
UPDATE:
It has been brought to my attention by Rodney Graves in the comments below that I have in fact erred and have misplaced credit in the title of this article. It is in fact not the Hooker Endorsement, it is the Pimp Endorsement. My apologies to the Pimp voting block. I regret the error.
Thank you, Rodney.
We now return you to our regularly scheduled commentary.
