At least we know where they get their inspiration from.
In the private sector, this is sexual harassment.
The Hill has heard you send a copy of Hustler to every lawmaker’s office each month. Why?
It really started out as a joke about 30 years ago. I decided I was going to send all members of Congress and the Supreme Court and the executive branch a complimentary subscription to Hustler, just so they could keep up on current events. That’s sort of a tongue-in-cheek kind of thing. What came out of it was something phenomenal that we had never really dreamed of. You could cancel your subscriptions. Here they get over 400 and some subscriptions, and only about 20 percent of the [recipients] canceled their subscriptions. And so we thought that was hilarious. We got a big majority of both houses.
What made you first start sending the magazine to Capitol Hill?
Moses freed the Jews, Lincoln freed the slaves, and I just wanted to free all the neurotics. I’ve always said that my attitude from the beginning is if we made a little bit more of an effort to understand the medium we communicate with more than anything else, which is sex, then everybody would get along a lot better. We’ve always pushed that attitude, but you’ve got a lot of uptight rednecks in Congress, and they push back.
You’ve been affiliated with both parties at certain points in your life. Do you have any thoughts on this new Republican-led Congress?
You know, it’s depressing, I don’t even like to think about it … What the average American doesn’t realize is Congress doesn’t make the laws anymore. Who makes them is the Supreme Court. Congress has shrugged their legislative responsibility and left it up to the courts to do the legislating. And that’s dividing our country; the rich keep getting richer and the poor just get poorer; there’s nothing more true than that is today. And I don’t want to sound cold and bitter when I say that Republicans are mean, but they just are. They are downright mean, and it’s all about them. And I think we’re obligated to help take care of the less fortunate among us.

I remember years ago when Larry Flint supposedly went Christian. He tried to get on Christian talk shows, but everyone was suspicious, and did not want him as a guest, as he still published his magazine.
Sue enough, it was all faked. When he was shot, he then reverted back to his real vile self.
“We eventually gave a coworker the whole year’s supply for Secret Santa and then she would mail them to her boyfriend in Iraq. Certainly one of the least-heralded ways the office supported our troops,” the anonymous staffer explained.
As I recall going through customs this material is “Illegal” in Iraq and other moslem countries even if you are with the United States Armed Forces.
The rule of thumb was if it was sold at the deployed AAFES BX/PX we could bring it.
ahaha KUDOS!!!
It seems like every 5 years or so, they bring back this story.

Every staffer in congress who is shown a copy of the magazine has a legitimate sex harrassment suit.
“We have to read it, to know what’s in it”
The more time they spend in their office washrooms with the door locked, the less time they have to legislate.
So, why isn’t Newsmax or the Limbaugh Letter doing this?
Yeah, They can just throw it on top of the Constitution.
It’s up to our congress critters to trash the magazines or deeply study them.
