"Palfrey's lawyer said he would be releasing another batch of names next week."

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Larry_Flynt_to_expose_new_Senator_0718.html

...that line just jumped right out at me. Next week...

Now is there a SECOND senator on the BAD BOY list, or was the "shock" an aftershock regarding Diaper-Boy Vitter? There's some buzz on the Internets that Vitter operated a BROTHEL in NOLA... Could that be the shock? Please, Mr. Flynt, do tell.

King asked whether Flynt was surprised to see any of the names emerge in the investigation, but he encouraged Flynt not to reveal any names during the broadcast, citing legal concerns.

"I was shocked, especially at one senator," Flynt said.

It is unclear whether Flynt was referring to Vitter or another senator whose name is yet to emerge. Bruce David, Hustler's editorial director, refused to clarify Flynt's remarks.

"Sorry -- No Comment at this time," David said in an e-mail to RAW STORY.

fer sure

2. yeah..I noticed there weren't any numbers listed for 1997

I don't have the link handy...but I noticed the 1997 calls were absent from the list...

[npincus]

3. interesting Palfrey's lawyer said "names" were going to be releassed

amd not "numbers". Either he wasn't careful with his words; lawyers generally choose their words carefully. Or, Palfrey is switching tactics, and releasing NAMES aassociated with her telephone archives. If so, why? Good on her, anyway!

[Bassic]

4. Why is this being dragged out like this?

If they're going relase the names, then release them already. If not, then why don't they just shut up about it?

[yardwork]

5. I like the draaaaaaaag out.

drip drip drip

[lies and propaganda]

11. me too!

its so fantastic!

[NYC Liberal]

14. Bad for us 'cause we wanna know...

But good 'cause it'll make them sweat, not knowing if they've been caught and if their name will be next! And if he let it all out at once, the MSM would just talk about it as "a bunch of people were exposed" rather than having specific people in the hotseat.

[Bassic]

16. True that. nt

6. "Flynt: Vitter Lied" from NOLA blog Your Right Hand Thief

http://righthandthief.blogspot.com/

...Vitter gave his story a whole new life by not coming clean. He must be hiding some seriously IMMORAL, CRIMINAL behavior- tee hee. What would Jesus think?

On Tuesday's Larry King show, Hustler publisher Larry Flynt stated that "Vitter lied" when the Senator denied reports about his use of prostitutes in New Orleans. Flynt reiterated his claim that he has linked 5 New Orleans hookers to Vitter, and indicated that Hustler investigators are in New Orleans and are coordinating their research with "major Louisiana media".

Earlier today, Flynt told WDSU that Vitter was lying when he said that the stories about his involvement with prostitutes at the Canal Street brothel were "not true". Flynt expects to be able to reveal more within 10 days. WDSU reports that Wendy Cortez is among the five hookers that Flynt is talking to about Vitter. (WDSU video: Flynt: Vitter Lying About New Orleans Prostitutes.)

That's about what I expected. Vitter's denial of the "New Orleans stories" on Monday came off like a challenge to the media to find more evidence of Vitter's whoremongering in New Orleans, and to prove him wrong. I find Vitter 's willingness to play such an ultra-risky high-stakes political game to be so audacious that it invites suspicion. I still can't believe he actually did that after a week's worth of contemplation. Vitter's denial on Monday virtually ensured that the media would unearth more embarrassing disclosures and revelations, which would lead to more questions for Vitter, and more public pain for his family.

7. Maybe Vitter's "laying"..(no pun intended) the groundwork...

for someone else...maybe another Senator or Administration Official to be named later??

If Vitter holds up and makes it through this scrutiny...keeps his gig...how can we impose any harsh judgment on someone else...

this looks like a "Boiling The Frog" case..if I've seen one

[yardwork]

13. I think that Vitter lied because he's scared of his wife.

I'd been defending Wendy Vitter here until I saw the press conference. Whoo-ee. She's scary. It's clear that Vitter is scared to death of her.

[npincus]

15. what message was she sending w/that dress?

She's a former prosecutor... did she show up in court looking like a stripper?

My hunch is the humiliation of public disclosure that her husband had to get sex from hookers provoked her into defiantly showing off her feminitiy and sex appeal, hence the tight, leopard-print wrap-around dress... in effect saying "It's not ME... my husband's the f*cking freak.. I'm one sexy mama...". Very strange.

[yardwork]

17. Good point. And the print is reptilian - sending the message that she's dangerous.

[malaise]

8. Stock up!!

[L. Coyote]

9. The big surprise is Senator Byrd.

:rofl: Just kidding Senator. NO offense intended.

[npincus]

10. or... Strom Thurmond!

[Hubert Flottz]

12. "Strom Thurmond"

Wore Diapers?

NO SHIT?

Maybe he started a GOPer fad in the Senate...Trent wanted to be like Strom Thurmond...is Trent the next one to be expased as a whore hopper?

Better than a soap opera!

EDIT...TUNE IN AGAIN TOMORROW!
