Did Larry Flynt out Senator John McCain?

[KansDem]

Remember this story from 18 July 2007?:

Larry Flynt says he has 30 more names!

KING: Larry, without naming them, because we stand under legal protection here, are others coming?

FLYNT: Oh, yes. We’ve gotten 10 times more leads from the recent ad in “The Post” than we got during the Clinton impeachment. Unbelievable. We’ve got…

KING: Ten times more leads? (transcript below the fold)

via CNN

FLYNT: Yes.

KING: Does that mean you have phone numbers that you’re following up?

FLYNT: Not just phone numbers.

KING: Names?

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.

Was Flynt about ready to expose that one senator?

1. All the remaining candidates are senators

For all we know, he could be referring to this.

2. Nice try, but Flynt referred to a Republican senator...

Hustler's Larry Flynt Ready to Out US Senator

Larry Flynt, editor and publisher of Hustler magazine, just (7:15 ET Friday) told FOX Business Network's Neil Cavuto that he's "hoping to expose a bombshell" that will stand "Washington and the country on its head." Within the next week or two, he says his magazine will expose a sex scandal of huge proportions involving a prominent United States Senator. Flynt refused to comment on the senator's political affiliation, but alluded that he or she is a Republican.

Perhaps he was ready to do this and the McCain camp thought it best to bring it out into the opening on their own...
