Carlson Convenes Bunny Ranch Workers to Discuss Oldest Profession's Ethics
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Tucker Carlson is a self-described libertarian who mentioned more than once this morning that in he has in the past supported fellow libertarian Ron Paul for president. Little wonder, then, that Carlson takes a live-and-let-love attitude toward the escort-service scandal that is threatening to rock Washington.

For those who have not been following the case, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the so-called "DC Madam," owner of an escort agency, turned her clients' phone numbers over to ABC. On tomorrow's "20/20," ABC is apparently planning to disclose the names of some of those clients, who are reported to include Bush administration officials, prominent lobbyists, CEOs and the head of a conservative think tank.To discuss the ethical issues involved, Carlson had as guests on the early-morning version of his show today [MSNBC has shaken up its lineup today to provide all-day pre-game coverage of tonight's GOP debate] the owner of the legal-in-Nevada Moonlight Bunny Ranch, Dennis Huf, and two of his employees, Audrey and Brooke.

The highlight of the segment was this exchange between Carlson and the two women.

View video here.

MSNBC HOST TUCKER CARLSON: Maybe Audrey and Brooke can speak to this. The temptation must be if someone famous comes in, and you see that famous person naked, the temptation must be to tell all your friends about it. It's tempting, isn't it?

BUNNY RANCH WORKER BROOKE TAYLOR: No, it's exactly the opposite. I enjoy telling people that I've been with someone they might be interested in knowing but not telling them. It's fun.

CARLSON: Hmm!
Then came the line of the day.
BUNNY RANCH WORKER AUDREY: I think every business has a code of ethics and we certainly do as well.
Insert joke about ethics, DC bigwigs and Audrey's business here.

I'm confused... Are we to be limited to "insert" jokes?

Tucker was trying to angle a ‘Barter’ deal in trade.

LQQK WHAT I FOUND AT WIKI!:)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Margaret Carlson is an American journalist and a columnist for Bloomberg News.

[SNIP] She is unrelated to television journalist Tucker Carlson.

Carlson has been romantically linked with former Senator and potential Presidential candidate Fred Thompson. While Thompson denied the rumors, the rumors have persisted in the Washington DC gossip circuit and are reported to be hurting Thompson's presidential aspirations

ABC is apparently planning to disclose the names of some of those clients [ Gee, I wonder how they decide which ones to release] , who are reported to include Bush administration officials, prominent lobbyists, CEOs and the head of a conservative think tank.

How do they ever make that decision, I wonder?

While I'm all in favor of zoning, regulation and even aggressive prosecution of aggressive solicitation, I could never understand the legal basis for illegalizing the sale of something which can freely be given away.

By now, just about the entire list of numbers (with names) should be out on the Internet somewhere. Comparing these names and numbers with political affiliation should be a relatively simple matter.

One suspects that something like ten Democraticans or liberal-leaning folk will be found for every Republican or conservative-leaning person included.

People who live in stoned houses should not throw glass.

A story in The New York Post was quoted on 1/04/2003 in the digbysblog as follows:

“She [Carlson] calls his apartment all the time. It’s the joke all over Washington that Margaret has this huge crush on him. And Fred is clearly not interested.” (To which the gallant Thompson responded, ‘I generally don’t comment on these matters, but as it relates to the statements made about my friend Margaret Carlson, I should be so lucky.’)”
