The Prostitute in the Living Room

If a pimp walks into a nonprofit tax clinic and asks for advice about his prostitutes and 13 underaged & undocumented El Salvadorean girls, what should you say?

A) Sure we can help you set up a tax-sheltering brothel! (Said with more enthusaism than a Walmart greeter.)
B) That would be illegal, unethical, and immoral! (Said with self-righteous outrage.)
C) Would you happen to be actors? (Said with suspicion.)

I wish this whole ACORN scandal was a joke, even a not-so-funny one. But instead it's a not-at-all-funny ring of hellfire for the nonprofit that even Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash couldn't make sound good. Leftists can make an okay argument for why prostitution should be legalized. But pimping underaged girls?

ACORN, you've made good progress digging your own grave and now you have lots of helpers and decidedly fewer defenders to dig you out. Nonprofits will be under more supervision and observation now, having to prostitute ourselves more to show we're not poisoning trees or murdering babies. Just give it a year, and I bet my own brothel that this shit will have led to even more nonprofit restrictions -- and at some point belt-tightening becomes asphyxiation.
