POPPING ONLINE: REID TAKES ON HOOKERS -- POLITICO's Molly Ball reports on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's call for the Nevada legislature to ban prostitution in the Silver State -- and how his speech befuddled everyone in attendance. 'Reid's impassioned lecture landed in Carson City with a thud. 'The time has come for us to outlaw prostitution,' Reid said in his biennial address to the Nevada legislature and an audience that included a legal brothel owner, legal prostitutes and the ... industry's state lobbyist,' Molly writes. 'The whorehouse owner in attendance, Dennis Hof of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, told reporters on the scene: 'Harry Reid will have to pry the cathouse keys from my cold, dead hands.' No bills addressing prostitution have been introduced in the current session of the Silver State's 63-member legislature - which is expected to have its biggest battles in the coming months over the state's massive budget gap and redrawing the lines of legislative and congressional districts - leaving many lawmakers to wonder where Reid was coming from. 'I think everybody is just kind of laughing up their sleeve about it,' said Assemblyman Pete Goicoechea, a Republican from rural Eureka.' http://politi.co/hywzMb
