Wonkette

The unfortunately monied Ron Paul campaign has been dumping its cash into New Hampshire recently, where he might lose by only 20 points. But the kook and his band of well-behaved, admirable supporters are now looking at Nevada, which holds the third Republican primary. Paul went to Vegas this week, where he was swamped by legions of 3-D laser spambot manifestations at several rallies. And among his celebrity guests yesterday was Denis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel, accompanied by two prostitutes. For serious.Hof’s brothel is the subject of the HBO reality series Cathouse, which this Wonkette editor has absolutely never seen before. Anyway, we’re still trying to place the ludicrousness of Hof’s endorsement of Paul among the various Mike Huckabee endorsers. Given this insight from a 2001 New Yorker profile of Hof, however, he’s maybe one tier above Ric Flair:

To that end, Hof has engaged in all kinds of outlandish stunts, including hiring John Wayne Bobbitt to work as a driver and getting into a highly publicized spat with Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, who was turned into an unwilling celebrity endorser of the ranch after he made a reference in his autobiography to having visited it in his youth. “I’m the Colonel Parker of prostitution,” Hof told me, not long after he had also told me that he was the Colonel Sanders of prostitution and not long before he announced that he was the Bill Gates of prostitution.

Go ahead and shatter, earth: The “Colonel Sanders of prostitution” is a Paultard.
