I Think Jesus Would Approve

I have to admit that I considered a whole host of puns for the title of this post. Then, common sense overwhelmed me.

Joel Watts pointed it out.

Meet Annie Lobert — a former prostitute with a singular mission: saving Las Vegas hookers.

Lobert, and her faith-based mission — which she calls “Hookers for Jesus” — are the focus of “Hookers: Saved on the Strip,” a three-part series premiering Dec. 8 on Investigation Discovery.

“When I used to get arrested and the vice [cops] called me a ‘hooker,’ it really offended me,” Lobert told The Post. “So one day I was thinking, if I was reaching out to women and starting to go into casinos and saying, ‘I can help you change your life,’ and calling myself Annie, it would be a weird thing — ‘Annie Lobert’s Reach Out.’

“So I figured Hookers for Jesus. I believe in God, for one, and I was a hooker and now I go and fish for people [to save].”

I love it! Hookers for Jesus! You know, this is the kind of thing we need to celebrate. If we are taken aback by the phrase, all the better. Anything to shake people out of their complacency and bourgeois illusions is OK by me.
