Harry Reid And Prostitutes: I Am Sure There Is A Joke In There Some Where

One wonders if Harry Reid has had a bad experience at a local whorehouse?
Today, Harry Reid came to Carson City to talk about job creation. No. Foreclosure problems. No. Education problems. No. Instead Harry brought his circus to the Sate Capitol and said that Nevada needs to limit prostitution. Kinds me of the movie Dragnet where the priest and the playboy publisher combined to increase pornography.
OK, Harry, whorehouses in rural counties have been legal forever in Nevada. Why are you bringing this subject up now? Bad experience? They didn't pay enough to you in the election? They didn't endorse you? Why, Harry. Why?

Whorehouses have been legal in Nevada in the rural counties of Nevada. Prostitution is not legal in Clark County, where Las Vegas is in or Washoe County, where Reno is, but whorehouses are legal in the other counties.
Unless you know where a whorehouse is, you probably will drive right by one, as I have done. No, I don't go looking for one, but it would be interesting to see one from the road, which you usually cannot do. There are very few signs or advertisements, if any, saying where a whorehouse is.
But according to Harry Reid, he thinks this is a reason why Nevada loses out on jobs.
As a conservative, I find that the whorehouses are immoral. But also, as a conservative, I think government needs to lay off legal businesses that aren't causing problems. As far as I know, the whorehouses don't generate too many police calls to their business and they pay their taxes and fees.
So, Harry Reid, I understand your shortcomings. But in a time when the deficit is out of control, record unemployment, record foreclosure rates, poor education, increasing deficits in the U.S., I would think you have better things to rant about.
I predict this will not got forward. I also predict that the Las Vegas Sun will run an editorial endorsing Harry's idea within the next week.
