Dream Team: Flynt & Palfrey to Out DC Hypocrites! (Flynt to hold 5PM press conf)

[npincus]

It's true! Flynt and the DC Madame are working together now! OMG, it doesn't get better than this! :rofl:

Flynt's press conference tonight, as cited on CNN, is on the subject of Vitter but will hopefully promise more to come! I'll bet a lot of (mainly) GOP finger-wagging hypocrites are shaking in their boots today.:rofl:



Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, already on a hunt for Washington sex scandals, has teamed up with a powerful new ally: "D.C. Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey.

It's an alignment born from coincidental interests: Flynt wants to expose Washington hypocrites, and Palfrey has a long list of people who probably qualify. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) became their first victim when a Flynt investigator linked his name and honorable title to an old telephone number on Palfrey's client list.

Vitter's exposure on Tuesday should put any other conservative Republican with sexy skeletons on notice: Start practicing your mea culpa.

It's déjà vu for many on Capitol Hill who lived through Flynt's first, successful 1998 sex-scandal bounty hunt, conducted at the height of the sex-driven impeachment drive against President Bill Clinton. With a promise of millions but a payout of less, Flynt managed to expose the sexual promiscuity of former House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde of Illinois, former impeachment prosecutor Bob Barr and -- his biggest catch of all -- the almost-Speaker Bob Livingston, another Louisianan, who confessed to adultery and resigned from Congress when he was on the brink of succeeding Speaker Newt Gingrich. (Gingrich's affair was not exposed by Flynt; that came later.)

2. Let's take bets on which state hosts the 5 pm slow police chase

California is 1/5
the rest are 1/49

[npincus]

3. is that a "gut feeling"?

That happens in summertime.

[rocktivity]

30. Speaking of slow police chases

I was at a concert when the singer said he'd just heard that OJ Simpson was being driven down an LA highway while holding a gun to his head. He'd been cracking jokes all night, so of course everybody just laughed. When I got home and turned on the TV to check the next day's weather, there was OJ Simpson was being driven down an LA highway while holding a gun to his head!

4. You can only wonder ...

... how many men are confessing to their wives right now, figuring that if they might be exposed publicly in the near future, it will go easier on them at home if their spouse hears it from them first rather than on the news.

The florists and jewelry stores in DC are probably in for a lot of business in the next little while ...

feeling something will show up as a distraction.

9. Will this be televised live?

[hashibabba]

10. Flynt had indicated that there were Democrats on his list.

I hope there aren't a lot of them.

[Bandit]

15. While in a way I agree, I hope that ALL hypocrite are exposed

I suspect the percentages will far be in the Republicans corner on this issue. Democrats usually have healthy sex lives while Republicans on the other hand are very repressed sexually. It is almost a given that they do not practice what they preach.

[yardwork]

27. Also, many fewer Democrats use "family values" as a way to get elected.

If somebody wants to pay a prostitute for sex, I really don't care. It's a stupid thing to do, but it's between them and their partner and their conscience.

If the person paying the prostitutes for sex got elected on a right-wing, homophobic, abstinence-only platform - then I'm interested. If the person paying the prostitutes for sex is on record as having said that President Clinton should resign in disgrace because of a consensual relationship, then I'm interested.

[yardwork]

26. If they're right-wing "family values" hypocrites I hope he exposes them all.

[TwilightGardener]

11. We should start taking bets on which other Senators are on the list--

my bet: Sam Brownback--another Catholic family-values fundie like Vitter, and his wife is...scary-looking. He's ripe for hypocrisy charges.

[Richard Steele]

18. Santorum.

He was just WAAAY too over-the-top with his "family values" schtick.
I'll bet he was a client in his officeholding days.

[TwilightGardener]

25. Yes! You KNOW it--I'll bet he used them to get his freak-on--

stuff his wife wouldn't do.

[Virginia Dare]

31. Hot Tub Tommy DeLay...n/t

[TwilightGardener]

34. Yes, but you know, that would be less fulfilling than other sanctimonius pricks

being outed, just because I would NOT be surprised to see his name on there--everybody knows he's an absolute piece of shit.

[Virginia Dare]

37. Not as satisfying, but I fully expect his name to be there..

and true, he's already outed himself as a hyprocritical horndog, or I guess to be precise he and Gingrich outed each other.

12. Rawstory has it: (plus another Madame claims Vitter a client)

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Vitter_snagged_by_2nd_madam_Flynt_0711.html

David Vitter, R-Louisiana, has allegedly used the services of a well known DC Madam in New Orleans, reports CNN. Jeanette Maier, known as the Canal Street madam of New Orleans. She says she knew Vitter to be one of the "nicest and most honorable men that I ever met."

Vitter has recently admitted using the services of the DC Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Larry Flynt of Hustler Magazine claims that Vitter exposed himself after Flynt's magazine asked him to explain why his phone number repeatedly appeared on the DC Madam's phone records.

Larry Flynt is scheduled to have a press conference at 5 PM ET today. Flynt promises to release more details of the Vitter scandal.

[yardwork]

28. Vitter's number REPEATEDLY APPEARED on the madam's list. That's new.

Vitter made it sound like it was a one time boo-boo.

[Tesha]

17. Special today! Five "Hail Marys" for the sins of three! (NT)

[Bandit]

14. If even his wife can't trust him how can America trust him

Vitter that is. That was the meme he himself used against Clinton...

[seemslikeadream]

19. It's Flyntmas time, Lerry Flyntmas everyone

[MagickMuffin]

21. Lerry Flyntmas.... I like Flyntmas in the summer

:rofl:

20. Hee hee hee. I'm definately giddy now.

edited for overly happy typing.

22. No wonder there weren't any republicans at the Senate Judiciary Committee

other than Specter. They are working on their spin stories.

23. The Repiggy Rapture is at hand...

Jerry couldn't pull it off but Larry might! Washington would be so nice without the Puggies!

36. ok, that made me laugh out loud!

Damn work interfering with my entertainment today...gotta snicker silently...

[CTyankee]

38. I'm praying that there are some Repub presidential hopefuls plus

some close associates to Bush on the list. That would be great. Vitter is a good catch but maximum effectiveness (i.e. knocking someone out of the presidential race for 08 or somebody like Rove) would be better for our political purposes.

Hmm. A RW Supreme Court justice would be good, too. The only ones young enough to play this game are all RWingers...

Maybe a couple of distinguished cabinet officers would be nice.

I don't care who, I just want to see the Republican Party stagger from the blows and hear the screams...

[npincus]

40. if it's a Supreme I'd say Clarence is a good bet...

[Vanje]

44. Oh yes. Please, yes nt

It sure looks like a repubic hair...

[CTyankee]

46. But of course he wouldn't resign. Doesn't have to.

I do like it that one of the AIDs guys who was promoting abstinence was caught in the madam's net. Serves the bastid right. And Giuliani's staffer, that was a nice touch. Altho Giuliani doesn't have much more to lose in the sex department.

[robinlynne]

47. That would be spectacular.

[spanone]

39. Ohhh this is getting sweeter and sweeter.....go Larry

[ljm2002]

41. A small quibble...

...it wasn't Flynt who first exposed Henry Hyde, it was Salon magazine. The wronged husband had shopped his story around to (IIRC) 57 different news organizations, all of who declined to publish the story, before Salon decided to publish his account.

I remember because it was so outrageous to me that so many "news" organizations could not (or would not) see the news value of such a story, at the same time that Mr. Hyde was sitting in very public judgment of President Clinton. And there was no doubting the veracity of the story -- the man had the goods on Hyde.

Not sure what Flynt added if anything to that particular story.

On the other hand, I remain grateful to Flynt for exposing Livingston -- that was great! I despise Hustler, but Flynt was and is doing the people's work in exposing these lying scumbag hypocrites for what they are.

[in_cog_ni_to]

48. I can't stop laughing!!! This is too good to be true! She should be able to NAME NAMES!

OMG....20 Congressional hypocrites have got to be nervous as hell.:rofl::rofl:
