Flynt says he has dirt on Congress under covers
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 6/7/7 | Carla Marinucci

Posted on 06/07/2007 7:50:55 AM PDT by SmithL

"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.

"Hustler" publisher Larry Flynt -- just days after posting a $1 million bounty ... "80 percent of them on Republicans."

Ummmmm, last time Flynt pulled this stunt, he said he'd only pay for dirt on Republicans. I suspect it's the same this time.

Flynt doesn't want truth, he wants revenge.

He hates anyone who aspires to decency. In his small demented mind, anyone who works toward the good must be perfect - or they're fair game for him.

He's a creepy guy, and none more so than when he's puffed up the majasty of his own 10th grade logic.

Larry, here's a flash for you -- the last "perfect" person to live here could walk on water. And it's been thousands of years since he's been here. The rest of us are flawed.

But unlike you - and the creeps you like, good people don't wallow in wrong.

Good people don't relish it when a good man makes a mistake. But you do, Larry. Why is that?

Everyone who wants the "good" isn't a hypocrite -- except in the mind of one who has lived in the sewer too long... not naming names here...

Anyone ever wonder what self serving purpose is served by Flynt's twisted logic and tortured beliefs?

How sad it must be to be him.

I doubt there's enough money or butt kissers to keep him from seeing himself for what he really is -- this latest stunt is sooooooooo desperate.

Once upon a time the government had a vast scrap yard
in the middle of a desert.

Congress said, “Someone may steal from it at night.”
So they created a night watchman position and hired a
person at $18,000 a year for the job.

Then Congress said, “How does the watchman do his job
without instruction?” So they created a planning department
and hired two people, one person to write the instructions for $22,000,
and one
person to do time studies for an additional $22,000 per year.
Then Congress said, “How will we know the night
watchman is doing the tasks correctly? So they created a Quality Control
department and hired two people. One to do the studies for $31,000 and
one
to write the reports for an additional $31,000 per year.

Then Congress said, “How are these people going to get
paid?” So they created the following positions, a time keeper for
$35,000 annual salary, and a payroll officer for an additional
$35,000, then hired two people.

Then Congress said, “Who will be accountable for all
of these people?” So they created an administrative section and hired
three people, an Administrative Officer at $155,000 per year, Assistant
Administrative Officer $125,000, and a Legal Secretary for an
additional $100,000 per year.

Then Congress said, “We have had this operating for
one year with a budget cost of $574,000.00 and we are $18,000 over
budget. We must cutback overall cost.”

So they laid off the night watchman.

Two MSM surprises here. Folks in Congress who have sex are overwhelmingly Republican. The survey also suggests that Democrats, although in the majority, are generally no longer able to participate in sex.

Again, MSM surprises only ~ Republicans knew this all along.
