Porn king offers $1m for US political sex scandal
The Guardian (U.K.) ^ | 06/04/07 | Suzanne Goldenberg

Larry Flynt, who once ran for the White House under the slogan "a smut peddler who cares", yesterday sought to spread his own brand of love around in Washington by offering cash rewards for tales of sexual scandal.

In a full-page advertisement in yesterday's Washington Post, Mr Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, offered a $1m (£500,000) reward for anyone willing to tell all about their affair with an elected official - and provide proof.

"Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" asks the ad. "Can you provide documented evidence of illicit sexual or intimate relations with a congressperson, senator or other prominent officeholder?

Those willing to betray their partners - or, more likely, exes - were invited to contact Mr Flynt or Hustler by a free-phone number or email.

I just read down the front page of threads on Free Republican and think I saw a variation of this story 5 times.

Sex really does sell.

That’s something for nation that legalized and glorifies adultery, sodomy and family breaking to crow about. Flint is no worse than the romanticists who obsess on him.

“Mr Flynt, who over the last 30 years has tried to use his pornography empire as a platform to campaign for free speech, is no stranger to the ways of Washington. Yesterday’s ad marks the second time in a decade that he has dredged Washington in search of scandal. In 1998, at the height of the campaign to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, Mr Flynt ran a similar ad in the Post.”

“Then as now, Mr Flynt was a sworn enemy of the Republican party. In his last set of ads, he sought to dig up dirt on the Republican members of Congress who were leading the impeachment campaign against President Clinton.”

If he doesn’t change his ways ... I firmlu believe there is a special place in hell for people who degrade women for profit. He exploits stupid women and turns them into play objects.

Dear Mr. Flynt,

Hillary Clinton has screwed the citizens of the U.S. for a number of years, and is hoping to continue her lust. Does this count?

It’s a variation on “if it bleeds it leads.” It’s the “if there’s humps it bumps” syndrome.

The ad is on page A17 of the WP.

The small print at the bottom of the full page ad says:

“Publication of submitted material is to be determined by HUSTLER in its sole discretion. The amount and terms of payment are subject to actual usage by HUSTLER and mutual agreement prior to publication.”

IOW, HUSTLER will decide what “evidence” sees the light of day, lol.

My current congressman, before entering politics owned and operated a strip club. He became Gary Condit's right-hand man in the California legislature and when the roof caved in on ol' Gary with the Chandra Levy affair, Dennis jumped in and got the backing of the Dems, congressional lines were redrawn to favor the dems and the rest is history.

Boasting himself to be a Blue Dog Dem, it appears he's become nothing more than Nancy's lapdog.

Nonetheless, Gary Condit is a dirt bag and his protege ain't much better.
