I see England, I see France, I see Republicans with no
pants!
Flynt claims he now has evidence about a closeted gay GOP senator
who's not Larry Craig. "The other shoe's going to drop any day," Flynt
says. In a lengthy, rollicking Vanity Fair interview, controversial
pornographer and 1st Amendment "hero" Larry Flynt talks about the
"progress" made so far on his million dollar campaign to expose
"family values" politicians who can't keep their pants on.
Hold on to your hat.

This is about to get interesting . . .
Larry Flynt on Republicans Who "Can't Keep
Their Pants On"
"It'll surprise a lot of people that he's gay. And I'll bet you he resigns the same day and rides off into the sunset."
. . .
Deputy Editor Handy continues:
"But Flynt's investigation of this second senator is at a
tricky pass. 'His boyfriend is in a quandary about selling him out.
It's really somewhat of a pathetic situation. But we also have other
boyfriends that he's been involved with.' These earlier boyfriends are
apparently willing to go on the record, and have also supplied Flynt's
investigators with corroborating evidence. 'We got some motel records.
We got some photographs. They don't involve sex, but sort of romantic
walks on the beach and that sort of thing.'"
Aww, that's almost sweet. Almost. See? Not all Republicans are
heartless. Hypocritical, maybe. But not heartless. Oh but I
kid.
I was thinking when Trent Lott suddenly announced his retirement just a week or so after this Larry Flynt rumor began: it must be Lott. It seemed like the most the plausible explanation for such a powerful man to announce his resignation so quickly, so unexpectedly.
But even with Senator "we're with the segregationist" Lott exodusing, it appears that Mr. Flynt still has some hypocritical homo-Cons about which to spill the proverbial beans. I am positively a-flutter Larry.
Is it Lindsey "I have girl's name anyway" Graham, Thad "Cock-ring" Cochrane? Or Senator X, who everyone knows looks darling in mascara?
Some people will no doubt want to defend the homo-Con hypocrites on some level, and suggest that being publicly outed by Larry Flynt is too much of a punishment for these people. But frankly, I've always been of the mind that if you're going to base your entire public life on hateful demagoguery and bogus claims about your own "moral values," you got what's comin to ya . . . jerkoff.
Obviously the personage of Larry Flynt leaves some people with a bad uh . . . taste in their mouths . . . but I have to admit, I do think he's something of a "hero." He may sell smut, but last I checked, it's not actually some sort of crime to do that. At least he's upfront publicly about who he is, and what he's about. The Official Sleaze-merchants in DC always pretend to be fucking Puritans.
