RENO, Nev. — The owner of a Nevada brothel who was recently elected as a county commissioner says he faced few objections during his campaign.

Lance Gilman tells The Associated Press that to many voters in Storey County his Mustang Ranch is just a business and a prosperous one at that.

The 68-year-old Gilman describes himself as a “dye-in-the-wool Republican who loves American values.

Perhaps Mustang Sally was played at his victory party.

ugh

Nevada is Harry Reid’s little Brave New World

One of the Hutaree militia members arrested in 2009 was elected constable in his hometown.

This is not the first time that a pimp or prostitute was elected to office and certainly won’t be the last!

[PoloSec]

That’s right our political system from top, down is packed with pimps and prostitutes, we all pay them with our tax dollars, illegally confiscated from us.

Compared to the deals on land, lining their kids or their pockets, and being at the front of the line for an IPO, I know who this guy is, to me he maybe more honest than Hastert, Kerry, Murtha who all engaged in the above I mentioned....

“Certainly no double-meaning with the title?”

Considering it’s from ap it’s probably the best line in the whole story.

[cripplecreek]

My county commissioner owns my trash pick up service.

Remember James Stewart's character in The Cheyanne Social Club? Sometimes life really does imitate art.

He should run for Congress. His “talents” are more applicable there.

Exactly right...at least he is not pretending to be something else!

I’m tired of bringing “moral” issues to the table, but I don’t consider prostitution to be a “good” business, and anyone who runs one is pandering to evil, and degrading other human beings to do it....

[Secret Agent Man]

i don’t care what the guy says, true conservatives don’t run brothels. this is rationalization, not conservative values.

[Secret Agent Man]

why are you tired of it? morals are the foundation that people use to determine what they will an won’t do, across all areas of their lives. totally appropriate to discuss.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I don’t know why everyone is so surprised about this. Some of the scum of the Earth have been elected to Congress. At least this guy didn’t murder someone like Teddy, or rape someone like Bill, or molest boys like Gerry Studds, or run the brothel out of his house like Barney Frank. This is pretty much par for the course for Congress.
