Hustler offers $1m for Congress smut
Reuters ^ | June 4, 2007

HUSTLER magazine in the United States is looking for some scandalous sex in Washington again - and is willing to pay for it.

"Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" read a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine in Sunday's Washington Post.

It offered $US1 million for documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder. A toll-free number and email address were provided.

The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive to impeach president Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

In the following months, the pornographic publishing mogul threatened to expose one or two members of the Republican Congress pushing for the impeachment, according to media reports at the time.

That long-awaited expose, published months after Clinton's trial, dropped no bombshells, according to a 1999 Slate.com article, but Flynt's efforts played a role in the resignation of House-speaker designate Bob Livingston of Louisiana.

Larry Flynt has done more, than any prolifer has, to discourage women from seeking abortions.

When he threatened to reveal details of the abortion allegedly obtained by a an ex-girlfriend of Bush, Flynt let every woman in America know that they had no "right to privacy."

A woman's past could be revealed anytime that a lib wanted to score points against a conservative.

Fixed it. Flynt's not interested in Democrats.

Blacksmail is a crime.

But then Larry Flynt has engaged in criminal behavior before, like when he hired a hitman to whack rival publisher Bob Guicione.

Expect it to be a witchhunt of those with the “wrong” political party. Like ABC’s leaks of the “list” of DC prostitute clients.

Don’t expect equal disclosure of sinners. It is worse than McCarthyism.

How much would Flynt offer for information on a father abusing his daughter?

With “Shamnesty” being forced upon us, I don’t think people are going to give two hoots about a sex scandal. Larry’s wasting his money.

Yep. But one day he’ll stand before a just God and then he will be finished (unless he repents, of course).
