Larry Flynt is NOT publishing the nude photos of Jessica...

[radwriter0555]

By David K. Li and Bill Sanderson — Pornmeister Larry Flynt said he's bought purported nude photos of Iraq war heroine Jessica Lynch (search) - to keep them from ever being published.

Flynt's claim came as Lynch and her family were feted last night at a Glamour magazine reception at the American Museum of Natural History (search) - and on the day before her authorized biography is to be released.

"I was offered photos of Jessica Lynch. I purchased them in order to keep them out of circulation, not to publish them," Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, said in a statement read by a publicist.

"Jessica Lynch is being used as a pawn by the media and by the government to create a hero who can sell this war to the American people."

Flynt, no friend of the Bush administration or the Republicans, said the president is using Lynch "to justify the war in Iraq."

"The U.S. government wasn't alone in their actions," his statement said. "They were co-conspirators with the media, who wanted to force-feed us a Joan of Arc."

Now THIS sounds like the Larry Flynt I know and love. He doesn't need to make a buck, he has intregrity, after all. I love Larry Flynt; he is one way cool guy!

1. Is this a "Trojan" horse?

lol

2. Yay, Larry!

His self-descriptive blurb in the official state pamphlet for the California recall was something like "... and I know the people of California, in their wisdom, will be pleased to elect as their governor a smut-peddler with a heart, who really cares..."

3. I hope this version of the story is true.

I loved the movie, The People vs. Larry Flynt. Never thought I would admire a pornographer, but I did after that movie. The world is not black-and-white, and none of us is purely good or purely evil. If this story is true, he has done another admirable thing.

4. If I am president, I'm putting him on the FCC

I'd put Kopp in charge and give Flynt a seat on the commission.

[benburch]

5. Exactly what I would have expected.

Larry Flynt is a class act.

[BloodyWilliam]

18. Well... he's NOT, but still...

I still respect him for this action, if it's true.

And I LOVED his counterattack during the Clinton scandal. :evilgrin:

[supernova]

6. This I can support

:thumsup: Good for Larry.

The über classy thing to do would be to turn around and give the pics back to Jessica so she can do as she wishes.

7. OK! Larry Flynt for President!!!!

I feel better knowing that. :bounce::bounce::bounce:

[ant]

10. let's not go crazy, now

...he's done some good things, no doubt, but he also perpetuates sexism and the degradation of women, so...maybe just a cabinet position. :eyes:

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. LOL...

Oh, alright then. :( Cabinet it is! :bounce:

[Snellius]

8. So who set up the NY Daily News story? Let me guess.

If Flynt never intended to use these photos, who set up the NY Daily News with direct quotes that he did?

The back story is bigger than the story on this one.

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. Ya,

all Flynt has to do is call a press conference and let the truth be known to mainstream America.....and let HIM explain who HE suspects as the leaker. He doesn't fear those people and THEY know it.

[DeepModem Mom]

22. "Leakers" on the phone again?

How did this story reach the front page of the NY Daily News, immediately after Jessica spoke out about being used for propaganda?

11. I hope this is the true account

If it's true, he's a class act. If not, and he publishes them, he's being really scummy.

[radwriter0555]

12. Unlike the republicans, Larry Flynt isn't a liar, cheat or thief... so we

expect and trust that he'll act with honor, honesty and dignity.

[RandomUser]

13. What would be really great is if he transfered it to Jessica Lynch

If he gave the photos to her, and transferred all copyrights over to her. That way she can have total control over preventing anyone from publishing them.

I think Flynt is doing a good deed, if he sticks by this position, and should be applauded.

[beanball]

14. All right already

give the kid a break,you said the dept of defensive midgets(Rummy&the misfits)lied about her being a hero,so let her take the $$ and just fade away.(sorry gen.mac,young soldiers should just fade away)

[loudnclear]

15. If there ever was a b.....slap...this is it.

Thank you Larry Flynt for having more ingetrity than the leaders of our government.

[robsul82]

16. Why would Flynt want to help Bush?

I'm sure the Bush facgime wants to discredit and sully Jessica Lynch as much as possible, so if Larry Flynt published the photos, he'd just be helping Bush. 1, Flynt HATES Bush, and 2, Flynt's a smart and surprisingly decent guy. I was pretty sure this is what he was up to the whole time...perhaps I should have called it yesterday. lol

Later.

17. aww...

well atleast he shows that he isnt a complete asshole.

[moz4prez]

19. Larry Flynt

100% ToTAL CLASs ACT

[in_cog_ni_to]

23. Remember

when the 8 year Clinton fiasco was going on? It was Flynt who offered up BIG $$$$$$$ for ANY dirt on republicans and GOT it! Bob Livingston's affair. Bob, the asshole, Barr's affair. Henry Hyde's affair. That other Senator who called Clinton a "slimeball"...Dan Burton's affair. :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

Flynt is a Democrat who hates hypocrisy and is willing to pay $$$$ to put those assholes in their places.

[corarose]

21. Thanks Larry

She has been through enough let alone everyone seeing that she doesn't have any boobs.

From a boob less persons point of view I would die of embarrassment.

[kimchi]

24. Right on, Larry! Sorry I doubted you. n/t
