Hustler offers $1 million for sex smut on Congress (any branch of govt)
Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Hustler magazine is looking for some scandalous sex in Washington again -- and willing to pay for it.

"Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" read a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine in Sunday's Washington Post.

It offered $1 million (500,000 pounds) for documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder. A toll-free number and e-mail address were provided.

1. Why? I understand during the Clinton years - he was trying to prove the hypocrisy of those after Cl
Clinton. Why now?

2. I know! I know!
Because he's upset with the Republicans on moral and ethical grounds but sex is the only kind of scandal the public has an attention span for?

9. Maybe it's a response to the suppression of the
DC Madam "hooker-gate" story.

going to come out of this pure as the driven snow.

31. There may be one or two Democrats but the very great majority will be Republicans
Democrats are not such sexual prudes and don't pretend they don't like sex. Republicans are sexually deprived perverts by their very doctrines.

11. It all seemed to die down after Duke Cunningham finally went away, but it involved
other friends of his. I think they had a poker club, and there was a limosine service they all used, the ex-con owner for whom they had pulled strings, legally.

The story just dried up as soon as Cunningham was safely in the slammer.

3. You can see the bias on the link you just posted
....
"That long-awaited expose, published months after Clinton's trial, dropped no bombshells, according to a 1999 Slate.com article, but Flynt's efforts played a role in the resignation of House-speaker designate Bob Livingston of Louisiana...."

B.S. Livingston was the speaker of the house having S&M continuous encounters, that was major. I remember delay crying at livingston's resignation how he had such integrity

The whore media then and now hasn't changed one bit since the corporations took it over

Edited on Sun Jun-03-07 05:15 PM by Joe Bacon
Besides Livingston, there was

Henry Hyde's adulterous affair
Bob Barr licking whipped cream off of a woman's breasts in public, and forcing an ex wife to have an abortion
J C Watts fathering children out of wedlock
Ken Calvert getting caught with a hooker
Dan Burton having multiple illicit affairs
Mary Bono cheating on Sonny
Charles Canady cheating on his wife during impeachment
Helen Chenoweth cheating on hubby when she kept attacking the Big Dog
John Peterson forcing himself on multiple women

and the liars at the Whoreshington Post went after Flynt because he DIDN'T catch TOOTY FROOTY NEWTY

7. God, love those nasty people
I don't care much for porn. But hypocrisy is another standard. After Derick Schlesinger's myspace became public, and after listening to his mother rant about morality and who-ha-ing everytime she mentions him...I checked out the 'photos'. This is a sad confession about the fragile state of my psychological condition, when she gets on a tear about shacking up, out of wedlock relations, privacy and dignity, belittling her caller, my mind drifts, to her lying on the floor with her legs apart for the camera. Please find some more pictures of naked republicans. amen

8. Why doesn't he offer a chunk of money to Jeff Gannon?
That would take the guesswork out of it and I'm sure Gannon can name names, who in turn can name more names.

21. Larry Flynt offers $1m for US political sex scandal
Source: Guardian

Larry Flynt, who once ran for the White House under the slogan "a smut peddler who cares", yesterday sought to spread his own brand of love around in Washington by offering cash rewards for tales of sexual scandal.

In a full-page advertisement in yesterday's Washington Post, Mr Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, offered a $1m (£500,000) reward for anyone willing to tell all about their affair with an elected official - and provide proof.

"Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" asks the ad. "Can you provide documented evidence of illicit sexual or intimate relations with a congressperson, senator or other prominent officeholder?

Mr Flynt, who over the last 30 years has tried to use his pornography empire as a platform to campaign for free speech, is no stranger to the ways of Washington. Yesterday's ad marks the second time in a decade that he has dredged Washington in search of scandal. In 1998, at the height of the campaign to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, Mr Flynt ran a similar ad in the Post.

30. Must give a shout out for his book: "Sex Lies and Politics"-
-"The Naked Truth" It is from '03 and yet very relevant today. It also gives delicious details into why he started that million dollar reward fund. Mr. Flynt is a real American Patriot who has been likened to the Tom Paine of our times. For me, He is a hero every bit as much as Jon Conyers.

Don't take my word for it take this ladies words about it: "Larry Flynt is a fierce foe of Hypocrisy and a political truth teller"- Ericka Jong.

Here is another lady who has these words on Mr. Flynt and this book: Tough, funny, profane, sensible, and full of terrific information. I am a feminist who thinks this is a man who has literally put his life into the First Amendment and gets it in a more profound way than many constitutional scholars" Molly Ivins

btw: My sig line below is from "Sex Lies and Politics".

32. Bill Clinton should step forward and collect the money
He had sex with a member of Congress (Hillary) and he can prove it (Chelsea is the product of that act).

33. Everyone... just remember
$1 Million is just a bad Saturday night for him playing 7-stud at his casino.

(I used to watch him play there... Barry Greenstein and Phil Ivey would sit in, along with one of the Laker's owners and a few other B/M illionaires. I think they were playing $2,000 - $4,000 limit 7-stud).

So this isn't any big deal for him, but I bet some of girls that worked for the DC Madam wish they kept some photos!
