Dennis Hof, Bunny Ranch owner, Supports Paul (Tucker Travels Neveda)

[0zzy]

Campaigning through Northern Nevada today, Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul picked up the enthusiastic support of Nevada brothel owner Dennis Hof.

After sitting through a 20-minute press conference with Paul, Hof vowed to put up a collection box outside the door of his Moonlight Bunny Ranch brothel to take up contributions for the candidate who he says, "Makes a lot of sense, doesn't he?"

"I'll do it today," he said. "I'll get all the Bunnies together and we can raise him some money. I'll put up a collection box outside the door. They can drop in $1 dollar, $5 dollar contributions. What a great way for the working girls to support Ron Paul. It's just the right thing to do."

Paul's campaign was surprised to see Hof, flanked by two prostitutes, emerge from a limousine outside of Lawlor Events Center this morning. They arrived with MSNBC journalist Tucker Carlson, who has been traveling with Paul for a piece he's writing for the New Republic. (Carlson stopped to pose with Brooke Taylor above.

"Dennis Hof is a good friend of mine, so when we got to Nevada I decided to call him up and see if he wanted to come check this guy out," Carlson said.

Hof said Paul's anti-establishment, libertarian platform of "live and let live" resonates in a state that permits legalized prostitution.

While Paul professes a limited-government philosophy, he's also hews to a deep Christian faith, is pro-life and reportedly is so traditional that he doesn't travel alone with women.

Campaign spokesman Jeff Greenspan said he doesn't think Paul will have any problem accepting the brothel's money.

"On a personal basis, he doesnt condone those things," Greenspan said. "At the same time, from his campaign perspective, it's not the role of federal government and it's not in the constitution for federal government to regulate these thing. The Nevada voters and Legislature have decided it is a legal activity in this state."

While Hof declared his support for Paul, working girls Air Force Amy and Brooke Taylor were a little more discreet. They said they wanted to learn more about all of the candidates before making a decision.

Yes, why indeed would Tucker go out of his way to invite his 'friend', the brothel owner, to go check out Ron Paul?

Just how will the media spin that into an attack on Ron Paul's campaign?!

 

[RP4ME]

[robert4rp08]

meh, if someone won't vote for paul because a prostitute (re: person with differing values) is voting for him, then they are worthless sacks of flesh.

Hannity was at the Bunny Ranch earlier this year, and I didn't see him complaining.

Jesus talked to hookers, and forgave them.

He talked to ex-prostitutes and forgave them. A prostitute will not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
