Porn kings Larry Flint and Joe Francis go begging for a bailout

The New York Daily News ^ | 2009-01-07 | Catey Hill

[Ed Condon]

I think “The Onion” should ask for a bail-out, since the MSM has taken away the need for parody articles.

[IrishPennant]

Seems an appropriate thread for BOHICA

[sickoflibs]

LOL. You are killing me!

[DCPatriot]

The internet is putting a lot of enterprises ‘out of business’....not just the MSM.

[Bullfrogg]

Oh, yesssss! VIAGRA to the rescue, consult your doctor if hard times last longer than 4 (four) hours.

Bullfrog

[Red in Blue PA]

The fact that these people would even consider asking for a bailout speaks volumes about, leadership, or moreappropriately the lack of it, in this country.

Pathetic.

[Yo-Yo]

I'm sure the Democratically-controlled Congress can come up with an appropriate stimulus package...

[An.American.Expatriate]

I’m pretty sure that porn is not an essential to the U.S. economy or otherwise.

It's one of the biggest on the Internet ...

Not that I have any first hand knowledge *smirk*

I just called my senator and was told that anyone has the right to appear in front of congress to seek aid and that it is up to congreess to decide if they should get it. I reminded the aide that Burrr is supposedly a conservative and that at the root of conservatism is fiscal responsibiility.
He said he’s pass my concern along to the senator.

We are so cooked.

[Huntress]

Since I’ve been accused of having porn on my FR page, does this mean I get a piece of the action ?

Maybe if you get rid of Helen Thomas.

[KarlInOhio]

This is the fault of cheap Chinese import porn without being allowed to sell American porn there.< /Pat Buchanan mode>

[fieldmarshaldj]

Fixed it. ;-)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hey, don’t knock Helen. She was hotness back during the Mesozoic era. ;-)

[freekitty]

These guys just don’t want to spend their own smutty money.

[null and void]

Thanks.

[longtermmemmory]

IOW: Too big to fail.

The tarp is viagra.

(actually I think this is a PR stunt but it does prove the point. If the UAW’s golf course can get a bail out then EVERYONE AND ANYONE should get a bailout.)

What a pantload.

There is no "right" to appear before Congress.

They conduct their own business, and invite who they choose. They don't have to invite anyone.

[fieldmarshaldj]

If you need any Kleenex, just give a holler. ;-D

[null and void]

Uh. too late...

[fieldmarshaldj]

Gee whiz, you’re fast. You gotta pace yourself, son. ;-)
