Hannity update: the hooker pics were from a TV segment he did promoting prostitution

Yesterday we posted pictures of one of FOX NEWS principal hypocrites, Sean Hannity, with the ladies of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch (MBR) as well as their pimp Dennis Hoff, and questioned how he came to appear in these pictures. A YouTube scan turned up a video of this visit posted by the folks at NewsHounds and it appears that Hannity visited the brothel with a TV crew in tow in an effort to "Hannitize" them during a segment on "Hannity's America" which aired originally aired on July 29, 2007.

We aren't too sure what "Hannitize" is supposed to mean but in our unbiased critical analysis (wink, wink) we take it to mean that when you get "Hannitized" you get a slick 3.5-minute commercial masquerading as a news segment.

Although Hannity appeared to lecture the girls and Pimp Hoff for less than a minute, we also got to meet the women who work at the ranch, learn about the process of selecting a lady (or ladies), we find out that folks from all walks of life visit MBR and Hoff tells us how the the privacy of patrons is safe. The segment also featured a rhythmic music bed and a laid back Hannity in jeans topped off with a black open collared shirt. After watching this segment we realized that if we were in the market for a legal brothel in Nevada MBR would be our choice.

Shouldn't our moralizing friend have gone with bible in one hand and a cross in the other?

Our guess is this "Hannitization," which was probably pitched by whomever does the media relations for the MBR, actually DROVE business to the brothel rather than discouraged it. If we were Hoff, the ladies of MBR or the media relations team we would be THRILLED with this segment. In essence Hannity used his TV show to promote prostitution, seriously.

We enjoy watching “Cathouse” on HBO and are not making moral judgments here, as we mentioned yesterday we are just calling out the hypocrisy. Hell, we can even be accused of promoting prostitution ourselves, but let the record know we don’t portray ourselves of moral crusaders.

When we made our initial post yesterday we did not know the circumstances behind the photos and now that we do it just reinforces Hannity’s hypocrisy.
