CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Harry Reid took aim at the world's oldest profession Tuesday, telling state lawmakers the time has come to have an adult conversation about Nevada's legal sex trade if the state hopes to succeed in the 21st century.

The Democratic Senate majority leader's comments before a joint session of the Legislature came as owners, lobbyists and working girls for Nevada's brothel industry looked on from the gallery.

To be crude, Viagra only opens the flow. If there is no flow, i.e, no heart to pump, there is no flow. Harry? No brains - no heart.

That's what old men do when they can't get it up anymore.
Stop everybody else from getting any.

Hairy Reed is a whore anyway. Who is HE to judge the morals of the people of his state? Friggin’ mob lawyer. Yeah, what a paragon of virtue that loser is!

Harry’s trying to woo back the LDS voter bloc for his son, Rory’s next political foray. Everything Harry does in Nevada has a purpose. I suspect we’ll see Rory make a run for senator in 2012, or at the end of Dingy’s current term.

Prostitution is already illegal in Las Vegas. I wish they’d do something about the indios passing out those nude picture cards on the las Vegas strip.

This seems sort of random. Even for a bumbling idiot like Reid.

Harry is the corrupt senator depicted in the movie Casino.

Too bad he didn't end up like Joe Pesci's character.

There's still time, though!

Kind of like the old country and western song....”The Night Miss Nancy Ann’s Hotel for Single Girls burned down”.

In all seriousness, this Nevadan is proud that these dens of immorality are tolerated, because it shows limits to government.

I am bothered when our government (the airport authority in Reno) takes money from “Gentlemen’s Clubs” and displays their advertisements in the concourses of the airport.

Why would Harry Reid have a problem with prostitution? He sells tricks in Congress in exchange for the support of illegal aliens.

In a society where the free sex hookup culture is so rampant, why is there any market for prostitution?
