Yes, politics does make for strange bedfellows<\/a>, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul, an underdog Texas congressman with a libertarian streak, has picked up an endorsement from a Nevada brothel owner.
\nDennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite BunnyRanch near Carson City, said he was so impressed after hearing Paul at a campaign stop in Reno last week that he decided to raise money for him.
\n“I’ll get all the (working girls) together, and we can raise him some money,” Hof told the Reno Gazette-Journal. “I’ll put up a collection box outside the door. They can drop in $1, $5 contributions.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It just seems weird to me that a Christian wouldn’t have a problem profiting from the proceeds of such an activity.
\nAnd then there’s this little tidbit in the story:<\/p>\n

Hof was accompanied to the Paul news conference by television news personality Tucker Carlson, who is traveling with Paul for a magazine article he is writing.
\n“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,” said Carlson, who hosts the show “Tucker” on MSNBC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Isn’t that getting involved in the story? Should a reporter do that?
