America’s most famous pimp, poised for elected office, dies

Pahrump: America’s most famous pimp partied for days with porn stars, political pals and others to celebrate his 72nd birthday, but the revelry ended when Dennis Hof was found dead in one of his Nevada brothels. Hof, a Donald Trump-style Republican who won a GOP primary for a seat in the state Legislature this year, spent his last nights at celebrations that drew notables from politics and the sex industry — two worlds he managed to bridge. His body was found on Tuesday morning. A Nevada sheriff says there’s no sign of foul play. (AP)
