Lawrence O’Donnell goes to The Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Nevada where they’d have you believe that they’ve been studying the relative merits of the candidates with the steely eyed concentration of a handicapper with a racing form in hand. Surprise! The best candidate for them is undoubtedly Ron Paul. To owner Dennis Hof and hookers Caressa Kisses and Cami Parker (past Hustler centerfold and HBO star) Paul won their hearts with state’s rights. This seems to be an odd choice to me, since Nevada has long embraced legalized prostitution and reaped the benefits of taxes. The only benefit for these dumb-bunnies would be getting the IRS out of their hair – and possibly the oversight which provides for their medical care and testing. Besides, as one bunny gushed, ‘He’s from TEXAS and so am I!"
There you have it. Ron Paul’s new supporters are the a la carte Libertarians. They look just far enough to see something they like; legalizing pot, more guns, No taxes or no hand-outs
and they’re in – no need to look at the rest of the menu which is far from appetizing. We get a little taste of what is on Ron Paul’s personal menu when O’Donnell plays a tape of Paul ranting about the day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King. Such unadulterated hatred is difficult to hear, and while he’s learned to stop himself from expressing those views when they could
become sound-bytes, I’m certain it’s still on the menu. Look toward the back, past desserts, in smaller print.
