"Hustler" publisher Larry Flynt -- just days after posting a $1 million bounty for verifiable information on the sexual exploits of U.S. Congress members and political leaders -- says he's already been deluged by more than 200 leads pouring in from around the country, "80 percent of them on Republicans."
"I'm not interested in exposing anyone's sex life," Flynt said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "It's the hypocrisy I'm after."
The California-based porn king, who heads up a profitable empire that includes the infamous skin mag Hustler and edgier publications such as Barely Legal -- as well as a thriving Hustler Club and casinos chain -- started a stir this week in political circles.
He posted a full-page ad in the Washington Post on Sunday that offered a cool $1 million for any "documented evidence of intimate relations with a Congressperson, Senator or other prominent officeholder," information that must be verified and published in Hustler.
In the run-up to the 2008 elections, Flynt's campaign to urge Americans to drop a dime on dallying politicians could get interesting because he's got a track record.
In 1998, he made a similar offer when former President Bill Clinton faced impeachment by outraged Republicans after the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
The result: GOP House Speaker-elect Bob Livingston resigned after Flynt prepared to go public with an informant's details of his illicit affair. Flynt also released an affidavit by the wife of then-GOP Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia -- an anti-abortion conservative -- in which she said her husband paid for her abortion and then took on a mistress.
"Everybody -- because I'm a civil libertarian -- thinks I'm going after Republicans.

This week we celebrate a special birthday. Monica Lewinsky turns 31.
Can you believe it? It seems like only yesterday she was crawling around
the White House on her hands and knees, and putting everything in her mouth.
They grow up so fast, don’t they?
Like I sometimes say “Hey, at least a hypocrite is half right.”
What did he expect. Only sick liberals and the far left are participating in this thing. Wouldn't be surprised that this goes up to 99 percent. Darn, these people are sick and no decent Republican would accommodate this lying trash junk that this dirt bag liberal would try.

Quite frankly if these guys are doing this type of stuff, I am glad that they are gone from Congress. What pieces of Sh!t!!!! If anyone is doing this now...get rid of them too. We need a Conservative Party period who keeps their principles. That is why we are having trouble now. How can you say you are pro-life if you paid to have some one have one????
ROTFLMAO!!! You need to buy me a new computer from the soda that just sprayed everywhere.
Wouldn’t that be the other 20%?
Of course most hypocrites would be Republicans. Democrats don't even try to hide their moralistic shortcomings, they wear them as a badge of honor.
Not necessisarily. The other 20% could be Independent's and/or Civil Libertarians.
One of my favorite people!!
I guess we’ll have to wait for the official list to come out.
What again? He did this same thing leading up to the last Presidential Election, hoping to dig up something on Republicans. The guy is truly disgusting and I am thankful he is not on our side.
More like 80% of the callers have been Democrats and liberals.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOFL
Then why not go after Hillary? She has no sex life, and is a hypocrite extraordinaire!
The Nutroots seriously think 99% of Republicans are gay meth head Bible Thumpers. I say expose your list Larry. Put up or shut up.
Larry's agenda is the permanent empowerment of the Demonrat/Leftist/Marxist/Socialist state.
The Demonrats will win in 2008, and by 2010 they will have everything rigged so they will never loses the Presidency and Congress again.
Welcome to your future.
Funny how WE complain about this but don’t have anybody with any money who would do the same thing. We definitely have millionaires in our ranks too, but guess what we are too lazy!!!
