Is Larry Flynt still going to publish a long list of moral hypocrites?
Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 11:46 PM by Quixote1818
I haven't heard anything about that story in a while? Is he waiting to drop the bomb next October?

2. I hope so!
What is he waiting for? I'd like to see him drop them like a breadcrumb trail on a path of unrelenting scandal. One at a time, to give us a chance to savor the hypocrisy adequately.

3. I think he will he is just waiting for the right time.
Don't be surprised if we get a new one each day throughout the month of October 2008, Flynt is the type of person who would do just that if he had the opportunity.

4. Next October would be the most damaging time to drop the bomb
I hate to wait that long but if it helps us win more seats and the presidential election I think it's the best move.

5. I have the official word...
...straight from the source. The research continues. It may continue beyond the election. The standard of evidence is very, very high. There will be no NO no instance of being fed any false leads in order to entrap the investigation. No Rathering will be allowed. Extreme care is being taken to avoid that.

Be patient. All in good time.

6. Extremely Doubtful
Let's face it - Flint is a pornographer who deals in disturbing wares. He's not exactly the kind of person I'd count on.

10. Bob Livingston, ex Congressman...to be Speaker until Larry outed his affair. Henry Hyde, Dan Burton,
Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 11:40 PM by in_cog_ni_to
and Bob Barr. :7

<snip>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.)<snip>

9. It is Flynt...
And honestly, his most recent outing was Vitter. He had nothing to do with Craig. I wonder how much money he makes from keeping quiet. God knows their are tons of closeted gay men that are elected officials and work on the hill.

11. Larry Flynt doesn't need their hush money. I really doubt he would take anything
from those hypocrites. He just wants to expose the hypocrisy of the "Moral/Family Values" crowd in Congress. He doesn't want or need their hush money.

12. Really??
So you know him personally. You are aware of what motivates him?? I think he has tons of stuff he could dish on officials. Why does he stay so quiet when he offers money for info??

14. You can read his Wiki bio for some sense of who he is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Flynt

He took a bullet for fighting for the first amendment. Sure, Hustler was the nasty version of Playboy, and those who think free speech should be limited to speech they like won't regard him as their champion, but he has plenty of money and no reason to fight this fight other than that he believes in personal freedom and human rights.

In my view, he is the real deal, and an American hero.

15. Whatever...Wiki Bio and all....
The man has advertised for information regarding lawmakers. I am of the belief he is the one that took Henry Hyde and Bob Livingston down.

However, I am sure there are many others. I think that he holds his info close to his wheelchair. I think he is a selective leaker.
