Hustler publisher explains why he's going after hypocrisy
July 11, 2007


By John Hill
jhillbr@gannett.com

BATON ROUGE – Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt said he has linked “five prostitutes in New Orleans” with Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter, a “family values” advocate.

Flynt said the five would share in a $1 million bounty his magazine offered for those who provide credible information about sexual infidelities of politicians in Congress who back family values.

Hypocrisy makes a politician’s sex life fair game, the publisher said.

“Sometimes I have to go bottom feed,” Flynt said.

“When someone is living a lie contrary to the way they are advocating in their public lives, they become fair game,” he said in a telephone press conference from Los Angeles began shortly after 4 p.m. Louisiana time.

Flynt said he has “20 something investigations going that all look good” into members of Congress, a result of his full-page ad in the Washington Post in early June offering $1 million to anyone who provided credible information about sexual activities by married members who espoused family values.

“We have five prostitutes in New Orleans,” Flynt said. “They will probably share in the bounties.

“This is not a witch hunt. This is not to expose someone’s sex life,” Hustler said.

24. no one time shot, vitter has been into whores for many a year
i am from louisiana and long before vitter was on the national stage the local rumors flew about his liking for paid sex -- long before he became senator i heard talk of his child by a prostitute and that he is paying support for same

wifey knows, she is a whore herself to my mind because she put up w. it all to be a powerful rich man's wife

19. This was his response to Speaker-Elect Bob Livingston's comment in 1998
This wasn't the first time Flynt has pulled this stunt. In 1998, during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal, a similar offer turned up dirt on Republican Congressman Bob Livingston, then Speaker-Elect of the House. Livingston quickly acknowledged marital infidelity and resigned.

In a subsequent interview with The New York Times, Livingston called Flynt a bottom feeder, and Flynt says The Times called him for a response.

LARRY FLYNT: They called me for a comment, and I say, yeah, that's right, but look what I found when I got down there.


On the Media

Atta, boy, Larry! Wear their scorn with honor!

20. Flynt quote after Livingston referred to him as a "bottom feeder"...
Livingston did an interview with the New York Times the following day and referred to me as a "bottom feeder." The Times called me for a comment. I said, "Yeah, that's right. I'm a bottom feeder. But look what I found when I got down there."

Maybe he means that he's after the Republicans who are feeding out of the hookers' bottoms.

Now, WHO was it that memorably used that phrase?

Is there some kind of clue in that?

A source said reporters quoted a leaker as describing Wilson's wife as "fair game."

23. From Joe WIlson's Book: “Wilson’s wife is fair game.”
Chris Matthews called Wilson to warn him:

<quote>

Matthews was blunt: ‘I just got off the phone with Karl Rove. He says and I quote, “Wilson’s wife is fair game.”’” But now the game has changed. With the CIA leak investigation focused squarely on Karl Rove, this first paragraph of Wilson’s book, originally published in 2004, reads today like a damning prediction of what was to come in the criminal investigation of the outing of a CIA operative—by the architect of the Bush administration and Republican domination of Congress and the courts.

Well, I wish he'd wait until just before the 2008 elections, but I'll take it.

Please NO DEMS!

PS I'm not a fan of Larry Flint, but credit where credit is due.

But the "hypocrisy" mud would not stick as readily to their trousers.

39. The hypocrisy mud is why it doesn't matter
"I don't go around poking into other peoples' sex lives and making laws against their behavior" is a perfectly good defense.
