A Political Hustling? (New Atty Gen'l's stepson worked for Flynt)
Until he abruptly quit last month - around the time that President Bush nominated his stepfather, White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales, to be U.S. attorney general - Web designer Jared Freeze worked as a consultant for notorious pornographer Larry Flynt.

A knowledgeable source told Lowdown that the twentysomething Freeze - a child from the previous marriage of Gonzales' wife, Rebecca - left Flynt's employ at the urging of Gonzales, who was said to be worried that the Hustler magazine connection might cause political damage during his confirmation hearings.

But Flynt disputed that version yesterday.

Aides in the White House press office didn't respond to half a dozen phone calls from Lowdown over the past two days.

1. Ha-a--a--aa!

4. I'd more sooner believe that the boy was working for Flynt as
a mole for his father & the GOP.
