Flynt Ready to Implicate Another Senator: "I Was Shocked, Especially At One Senator"

[kpete]

Flynt Ready to Implicate Another Senator

Larry King interviewed Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt last night on how he linked Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) to an alleged prostitution ring. Flynt also said he's got information linking another U.S. Senator to a sex scandal.

FLYNT: We've got good leads. We've got over 300 initially. And they're down to about 30 now which is solid.

KING: When are you going to print?

FLYNT: Well, the last thing now is we don't know if we want to let it to drip, drip, drip or we want to go with everything at once.

KING: You mean you might release 30 names at once?

FLYNT: A good possibility.

KING: Will we be -- I don't want to get into names yet. Will we be shocked?

FLYNT: Yes.

KING: Were you shocked?

FLYNT: I was shocked, especially at one senator but...

KING: One senator especially?

FLYNT: Yes.

Last month, Flynt offered a $1 million bounty to anyone who could provide proof of an illicit sexual encounter with a high-ranking government official.

1. Man, let's get a pool going ...

... guess we'd need a list of GOP Senators.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

13. The names for which I can only hope:

Lieberman
Brownback
Chambliss
Coleman
Graham
Hatch
Inhofe
Lott
McCain
McConnell
or
Stevens.

To name a few. :evilgrin: MKJ

[SoFlaJet]

16. John Thune

of South Dakota-the guy who the GOP spent over $100 per PERSON on to defeat.He's an arrogant prick

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

22. Didn't know much about him. Just needed to see his picture, to get a better

idea.



http://thinkprogress.org/2006/01/page/2/

MKJ

[SoFlaJet]

28. Oh yea and I forgot to mention

he unseated Tom Daschle-you might remember those disgusting ads of TD's picture side by side with Bin Laden...I wonder if Daschle could or would run against him again.

[AwakeAtLast]

46. He's got that Andy Samberg shit-eating grin going on

[TwilightGardener]

43. I would love it if it were Thune. He looks like he needs to be taken down a notch.

[JacquesMolay]

20. Brownback would be awesome...

... Graham is unmarried, so if there was a scandal, might be with a boy(theres been rumors here in SC), Lieberman is too whiny to get a chick, but I can definitely see Coleman doing somethign like that.

[burythehatchet]

32. HEADLINE: "Brownback goes bareback"

[ulysses]

44. I'm thinking Coburn.

Chambliss would be just fine too, of course. :)

[babylonsister]

2. I just love the thought of whomever gets named shaking in their booties,

waiting for the bombshell to drop. There must be some serious indigestion going on around town.

[malaise]

4. That is what I love best about this

men are shaking in their boots.

[BeyondThePale]

27. or shaking in their diapers! nt

[MiniMe]

36. What is really good, somebody who's name Flynt doesn't have may

become paranoid and start defensive moves, and would be nailed by himself.

[BOSSHOG]

3. One thing is guaranteed, for sure, done deal

If a democrat is on that list there will be absolutely no outrage from conservatives because they already think liberals fuck and take drugs 24/7. How could they possibly be outraged if what they believe is publicized? Unless of course they fake it. Would they do that?

[NewJeffCT]

8. please, mock outrage is a GOP specialty

I mean, were they really that upset when Kerry & Edwards had mentioned Dick Cheney's openly gay daughter?

Or, when Durbin mentioned gulags in relation to the secret prisons?

or...

[NewJeffCT]

5. Now, who among the GOP would be most shocking?

Personally, I won't be too shocked at any GOP senators having gone to hookers...

Who has been the biggest morals crusaders in the Senate? Maybe Sam Brownback?
Orrin Hatch?
Chuck Hagel?
James Inhofe?
Demint?

[IADEMO2004]

10. Lieberman

[HereSince1628]

12. Beat me to that one! Ha ha ha ha!

Actually, it would be shocking if the senator is a woman.

[City Lights]

14. Ding, ding, ding!

My first thought too. :D

[TechBear_Seattle]

15. Thank goodness he is no longer a Democrat

And whose fault would that be?

:rofl: :toast: :rofl:

[Hubert Flottz]

6. I hope it's MITCH!

Or Trent Lott!

[oldgrowth]

7. To bad it's so far till Nov. 08

[Graybeard]

9. Does the DC Madam get Flynt's $1 Million bounty?

Anybody know if he has said? Or maybe providing anonymous phone numbers doesn't count as "proof"? :shrug:

[Lerkfish]

11. mr flynt should beef up his security

I"m just sayin.

[porphyrian]

24. He's already been shot once. I'm pretty sure he's covered. - n/t

[Kolesar]

17. Some GOP senators are having a sleepless night!

...oh wait, they all are!

[C_U_L8R]

18. Drip drip drip

Seeing the pukes twist and squirm
under the weight of their own hypocrisy
would be delightful.

[DemReadingDU]

19. Are these 30 names for all men?

Wouldn't it be shocking if a woman was on this list?


Just saying...

[C_U_L8R]

23. like Karen Hughes for instance ... hahahaha

or Condi?

or both ?

together?

in diapers ?

oh my

[DemReadingDU]

26. LOL!

:rofl:

[WhiteTara]

45. Elizabeth Dole!

:rofl:

[Time for change]

21. Good news.... I think

Do we know it's a Repuke?

[GOTV]

25. Why is flynt on Larry King talking about things he might do in the future?

If he's going to release the names, why doesn't he just do it? Oh he's got a decision to make between one at a time and all at once? Well make the decision, implement it, and then go on Larry King and talk about it.

It's not like he's holding it over their heads. He didn't say, "Vote to end the Iraq war or I release names".

The only reason I can see for going on Larry King first is if he doesn't have very much. If he thinks he can get more attention from the speculation than he can from the actual data, then it makes sense.

I hope I'm wrong but, it doesn't seem like the right way to play this if he indeed has some bombshells.

[Phrogman]

29. Maybe Mr. Flynt is just savoring the moment.

enjoying them squirm.

[GOTV]

33. I think if that were the case he would announced a date....

... he wouldn't have been all "I'm not sure what I will do. I might release them today, I might release them tomorrow, I might release them all at once, I might release them one at a time" because that obviously implies that there's a option of "I really don't have any names"

[northernsoul]

31. or hoping he can panic somebody into jumping the gun

and making a "pre-emptive" confession before Flynt outs them. Flynt's a pretty shrewd guy, I'll bet there's a method to his madness.

[GOTV]

34. I guess that's possible but I don't think it's likely. n/t

[Jed Dilligan]

39. Maybe he has lawyers and factcheckers

working over the cases?

The build-up is in fact a masterful way to increase the impact of the story.

Go Larry!

[GOTV]

40. Actually not that masterful. It sounds like he doesn't even know what he will do...

... of course he needs fact checkers and lawyers. It's just that he should have had his ducks in a row before going on LK to talk about it.

If he's not already done with his fact checkers then, for all he knows, they'll come back with nothing and then where will he be.

No, this is not the way to play it. I can see the value of building suspense but this isn't going to do it.

More plausible is that this is a Hail Mary pass from someone who has maybe one name, if that.

[bleedingheart]

30. Lieberman!!!! Let it be!!!

[emdee]

35. Even though Frist is gone....I'll bet he's one!....

Why aren't WOMEN ever on these lists? I want Marsha Blackburn to turn up!!!!!
emdee

[Lerkfish]

37. well, Frist uses a cat house, but its really the humane society.

:rofl:

[MrMickeysMom]

41. Larry Flint ... please give us a man and a woman. I'm sure they exist!

Frist would only fuck the sick and disabled undergoing a surgical procedure.

;-)

[momster]

38. How about one name

every two weeks? This would let the media cycle churn and just about when everybody's ready to move on to the next 'Paris sighting', Bam! Drop another name. Two or three 'sex ordinaire' guys and then Boom! Something way, way out! Resignations, more hypocrites on their way to Haggard-style 'gay-no-more' camp, more 'it's not adultery if you pay for it' excuses, and the whole Congress could change hands without waiting for Nov '08. George's lame-duckery would be assured. It's not the way I want the world to change but if Flynt can do it, more power to him!

Oh, and my vote for the 'shocking senator'...Lindsey Graham.

[TwilightGardener]

42. Hagel? Is that why he didn't run for Prez in March? Remember that

press conference when he looked a little rough and wouldn't announce? Maybe he got a call. Maybe that's why he's not running for Senate re-election either. He's not a "family-values" champion, though, so it wouldn't be as satisfying as some of the other R's.

[helderheid]

47. Cheney?

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

48. Hmmm, Lynn and Dick together, on stage, holding a press conference to allow them to

publicly announce their strengthened marriage, post hooker(s), could probably be C Span's first pay per view event.


:rofl: MKJ
