Larry Flynt: "I have 30 names. You will be shocked."

He's on Larry King now and he said he's deciding whether to give them all out at once or let them out one at a time like "drip, drip, drip".

He said he was particularly shocked by one senator's name.

:popcorn:


EDITED TO ADD TRANSCRIPT SECTION:






Anyone find it "odd" that the name he mentioned was somehow the only word that was inaudible? Must be Vitter though.

:popcorn:

as opposed to Reagan's sanctimonious testimony and the blacklisting.

Normally I wouldn't pay attention but I do when they are so loudly hypocritical, like TV preachers or Congressman condemning others.

and will out only those pillars of community and church who have been hostile to reproductive rights, howling for abstinence among youth, screeching about an end to marital infidelity, and were out to get Clinton out of office for unreciprocated oral sex from an overheated groupie.

I can't think of any sanctimonious senator I'd be shocked about. I'm surprised he is.

But that was a long time ago and maybe he just plays checkers now.

if he was patronizing any ho's it would not be women.

:popcorn:

for no other reason than that Connecticut has a Republican governor.

If it MUST be a Democrat, let it be from a state with a Democratic governor.

When it comes to his votes on the most important issue of our time he might as well have an R after his name anyway..... besides if it IS Joe who has been ratted out by some whore he had sex with or some intern he boffed that doesn't mean he'll be thrown out of office before the next election: It just means he's less likely to get support and be re-elected. It might be enough of a take down however to leave him in "funniest joke on The Hill status" and whipe that smug look off his hypocriticle lying face though.

I say:

Let it be Holy Joe!!

the names turn out to be scandals Joe will be totally neutered anyway.

Liebermann would be equally shocking. Just please don't let it be poor Teddy (though that wouldn't be shocking).

oh and NOT John Edwards. His wife doesn't deserve or need that...

he would only expose Repubs, the ones who are most self-righteous "family value" guys, so I that eliminates Demos, by definition, with the 1 exception of Joe Lieberman, of course.

missed that part. Lie-berman can hardly be considered Dem anyway as we all know.

with Flynt playing the role of the donald and it would be called The Hypocrite with "so and so you are a hypocrite and you are fired", devoting a whole week to each one showing all the juicy details with the hypocrite exposed at the end of each weekly program. Now that would be nail biting entertainment the entire world would watch.

when did he turn into a democrat??? :think:

That would be a hoot!

Ralphie 'I could'a been a contender' Reed? <----churchie, anti-choice, anti-GLBT, anti-sanity

It'd be HUGH!!!1!111!!!!

Duncan Hunter, both would be deliriously delicious!:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :spank:

Both of them have their bibles so far up their hinies that it ends up hurting US.

But then again, I wouldn't be shocked to know that as I think all those out preaching this drivel are probably hiding something.

I don't think he has the guts.

THAT would shock me.

I'd be giggling for weeks!

I wouldn't be able to stop howling.

...just trying to picture Joementum getting all smoove and "Hey, baby".

"Ooooh, baby, tell me it's Mission Accomplished!"

x(

is at her Hadassah meetings. (That's got to be an ego boost. Like joining the PurpleChez Scouts.) But back to Joe...he could pay a dom to dress up like Chimpy and bark orders at him while he licks her boots. "Yes, my Dark Master! I live to grovel!"

the likelier it is to be a cover for something really, really awful, and Holy Joe has enough sanctimony for a whole Senate.

Bill Frist? Mitch McConnell? Trent?

He looks pretty limp to me.

"A pillar of community OR CHURCH who have been who have been hostile to reproductive rights, howling for abstinence among youth, screeching about an end to marital infidelity, and were out to get Clinton out of office for unreciprocated oral sex from an overheated groupie."



it doesn't necessarily even have to be a POLITICIAN at all.

And as someone said below - what would shock Larry Flynt?

So if you combine those pieces of information.


CHURCH;
Billy Graham?
The Pope?

None of the others would "shock" me, I don't think. OK Mother Teresa's name would shock even Larry. (I kid. Sorry if anyone's offended. Just trying to think of the most far fetched person I could there!)


PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY:
Ken Starr? nah - not shocking.
One of the Supremes? - maybe shocking.
Oooooo - I got it!!!!! Phyllis Schafly!!! :rofl: Now THAT would be funny.
"Dr." Laura - that'd be another good one, eh?





EDIT: on adding the Transcript he says he's shocked at "one Senator" - so there's that. But I still think it'd be funny if some of those others were on there. Not FUNNY, sad really -the whole thing, but you know what I mean.

and lets each one twist in the wind for a week or two before giving out the next one.

A little something for people to talk about all week long.

a great idea. That way we avoid the Friday news dumps and have an entire week to schedule guests for the Sunday Morning talk shows. A Superb Concept!:toast:

Not sure where I saw the material anymore but it painted her as a shill for the church. The material claimed she used her status as a means to gain money and power FOR the church OVER the very needs of the folks we picture her as helping, often at great cost in pain and suffering to those folks.

On edit I found a link to something Christopher Hitchens had to say on Mother Teresa. I am no fan of that well known drunk Hitchens, but his words here mirror somewhat the material I had read on her by a different detractor. http://www.slate.com/id/2090083/

Nevertheless, I'll be happy with just repug names being released :)

HYPOCRICY, STUPID! :popcorn: :popcorn:

That would be hugh!

That would be freaking sweet beyond sugar.

Or have a "heart attack."

Or a "plane crash."

About those kinds of powerful people will come at a price, of that I am fairly certain.

Inquiring minds want to know...

So many overnight stays to the White House for a pseudo-journalist/escort? Research for a in-depth story? Riiight.

but I don't care who is boinking who.

holier-than-thous, than good for Flynt.

about the boinking hypocrites do. I find it rather pointless when there are far more important things to be care about. But, corporate media will go with the mindset that sex sells and this will take precedence over Iraq, health care and other issues.

If a repuke loses an election because he boinked someone, they could still be replaced by another repuke. With Iraq, chances of a dem getting it is far better, IMO.

;)

Death by a thousand cuts!! :woohoo:

:rofl:

One sex scandal damages the entire party. Just look at Mark Foley. If several prominent Republicans are outed, it will do serious damage to the party as a whole, which by default is good for the Democrats. Scandals that cause the downfall of an incumbent usually cause it at the hands of someone of the opposite party. Only if the Congressman or Senator is from an extremely red state or district will the sex scandal just cause them to get beaten in the primary by another Republican and that Republican will in turn win an election.

It's unfortunate that our political discourse is this shallow, but the reality is that the more Republicans who have sex scandals, the more Democrats will get elected and in turn we will be better able to deal with Iraq.

They would NEVER consider voting for someone exposed. Yes, there will be another candidate, and no we wouldn't be able to capitalize on all of the Senate/House races, but if we can pick up a few seats than I'm all for it.

majority. There is also the fact that their campaigns were based on "family values" when their lives are the opposite. This is a big a lie as any other spoken lie.

But you should care because that's the ONE THING that will lose their supporters in a heartbeat! You may feel this is not the way you want to win a super majority, but it's effective, legal, and these AH'S are all hypocrits!

who boinked who is not on my list of priorities. It sure wasn't when Clinton was running and when he was president. It's not now and will never be.

But this is the party, and in a lot of cases mostly the same incumbents, that ground the business of American government to a halt over their obsession with Bill Clinton's unit.

I say let em have it :evilgrin:

it's not our job to hand them them their clothes and help them get dressed.

I say we should grab the clothes, run away, and hide them!

don't be surprised if their supporters are hypocrits as well. Watch how quickly, all of a sudden, adultery is "personal business" and "not such a big deal". I hope you're right but I don't think so.

Have you heard him talking about the Vitter scandal? The way he's talking about it, you'd think he's visiting prostitutes himself every other week. Me thinks he doth protest too much.

And if assholes like Vitter want to justify denying any of those things to others based on his own version of morality? IMO, it is not pointless to use the fact that he doesn't live up to his own "standards" against him in a effort to make life better for everyone else.

(besides, the diaper thing? hilarious!)

:)

it contained Anthrax.

We need to be pragmatic about this. If they take themselves out through sex scandals, or whatever, and are replaced by Democrats, we win. It may not be pretty, but it works.

and fueling bigotry over those private lives.

Their hypocrisy needs to be exposed.

Revealing the hypocrisy of those who are pushing ridiculous and hate-filled legislation will stop them in their tracks.

It's been a horrific waste of time for our country to debate Terri Schiavo and constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, while allowing tens of thousands of people to die horrible deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I want the nonsense to stop. This is the quickest and most effective way to end it.

Because, if you haven't, then you probably wouldn't know how damaging it is on a purely personal level to know slimebags like these are just as falliable as anyone else (and usually more so), while at the same time hearing them say bad things to the entire nation about you and people like you.

It sounds to me as though you don't 'get' the whole hypocrisy angle of this.

And are completely hypocritacal about these matters.

when they are calling me immoral they make their business MY business

I expect public figures to be hypocrites. Especially politicians, since, in many ways, it isn't their job to represent their own views as much as the views of their constituents. A bit of hypocrisy is expected.

But I do care about this. If a preacher or politician has been telling people "Abortion is murder," for instance, and then we find, like Bob Barr, that they were involved in an abortion, I want to see that info made public. Barr caused a lot of pain to people who had abortions, or were considering them. How many young women suffered horrible guilt, or had children they shouldn't have had, because of the dictates of that man, because of the horrible accusations he made. If he doesn't believe those accusations, I want him exposed, I want him to suffer justice. I want him to feel what he's made others feel.

Same with the high and mighty who have condemned homosexuality, or have used promiscuity to attack others. Anyone who attacked Clinton, for instance, while doing the same things they condemned him for, deserves the justice of exposure. Anyone who preaches regularly about abstinence, but who doesn't follow it, deserves to be exposed, as justice for the horrible things they've made others feel, and worse, for the people they've caused to avoid birth control when it would have prevented an unwanted pregnancy. They've told others to live up to standards they themselves couldn't attain. They have made peopl suffer because of actions that they themselves were taking.

Exposing them isn't revenge. It isn't political strategy--and frankly I'm sickened by the surprising number of Democrats who want to use it that way, who want to become Republicans. It is justice. Even if none of these figures go down (no pun) over these exposures, people need to see that they don't really believe the words they are saying, and that they don't really practive what they preach. People need to be liberated from this moral tyrants, and therefore these tyrants need to be exposed as having no moral ground from which to condemn others.

That's my take on it. And I hope Flynt sticks only to clear cases of hypocrisy, and doesn't just turn this into a game of catching people with their pants down.

it's "who is boinking WHOM." If you're going to talk about illicit boinking, can we please keep it grammatically correct?

It doesn't seem to matter what you do, people don't get it. One would think a politician with a doctorate or a masters would be able to get the hang of such things and not say, "They handed off the ball to he and I."
"Whom will have the ball and to who do they hand off?" grates, as well.

More Republicans sex scandals = more Republicans losing re-election. More Republicans losing re-election = easier to get out of Iraq and do other things that we want.

Kinda like Catholics.

:shrug:

There is no prohibition against divorce in Judaism. In fact, there is a particular procedure for a Jewish divorce. The divorce rate among the Orthodox is higher than you think.

Democrats are never that lucky

John McCain! Is that how he got suckered into being W's best bud? WHy he's gone so off the wall?

I swear, there is something thoroughly repulsive about that guy.

Or maybe it's a toddler fetish:

:D

Make them sweat

Stress can cause you to make critical mistakes. Better we let them marinate for a while until they're nice and tender. Then we send in the lions.

:evilgrin:

Hell, chances are good bush/cheney is already blackmailing them. Make public any info on hypocrites in the Senate and you free up some votes! Once outed, not open to bushco blackmail, no need to toe the party line! ;)

Attention anti-choice, anti-GLBT, anti-religious-freedom hypocrites:
The truth (out) will set you free!

:rofl:

:rofl:

Do we get to make guesses?

If I'm going to be shocked I'm guessing Lindsay Graham!

I'm sure the madam has male escorts, too.

What if Joe likes to dress up as Golda Meir?

But Joe'd be good, too.

he's prettier than her.

:popcorn: :beer:

Flynt is a hypocrisy-killah

let ONE be Cheney,wearing a bustier,having his hiney spanked

:rofl:

his ample man-bosom cantilevered into two irresistible pale mounds of wiry-haired scar-tissue.

Come and get it!

:rofl: :spray:

:hi:

He's too MEAN; he probably likes people tortured in front of him or something.

don't ask me how I know=it'll come out soon enough

Flesh to remain engorged

woman.

BTW, my husband still likes to spank me - and me him. I just want to tone up this damn skin. ;)

I will mail you a great program.If you can't wait=google "Charles poliquin"

and didn't find anything.

Although, I think he's the one guy that gave me a little hope. Isn't he the guy who says fat is in the cells of skin and that you CAN lose the skin with proper training? I'm back below my pre-preg weight and still have TONS of loose skin around the middle (I'm not freaking out yet. My baby is only 5 and 1/2 weeks old).

Do IM me tomorrow when we're both sober. :7

I hope a whole ton of bad things about Darth will come out.

Or was it only wishful thinking?

Nobody would be shocked!

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

And why is it that all these philanderers are from Louisiana?

Another snooze fest.

:nopity:

sleep tight.

(I couldn't resist. That sentence was just hanging there.)

have to go through the same thing, so much the better.

Fortunately for any Dems who are involved, their constituency is less likely to care.

I'm enjoying the heck out of them.

Edited for shity grammar.

Oh yeah, and that Livingston thing, too.

And it sounds like the tenderloin, baby back ribs, and filet mignon is yet to come.

Since we're doing the meat analogy and all.

Are you saying that Flynt hasn't delivered?

but I didn't want to be an "ashole."

:D

What's she gonna do- call me a "Dick"? Pfft! :eyes:

I suggest you keep editing. :rofl:

They will take it way too literally, and you really don't want to be in the same room when that happens.

:puke:

But I don't.

:rofl:

Dem OR Repub.

I'll gladly bet a nickel that I'll not be in any way "shocked".

What's the most "shocking" possibility? Condi? Pickles?
Would anyone really be "shocked" by that? I've seen worse
at birthday parties.

If Rick "mandog nuptuals" Santorum -ISN'T- on the list, I'll be pretty surprised,
but not so much as to call it "shocked".

Richard

...I'm just gagging about that one. I'll leave with one more ewwwwww thought, Dick and Bush with them.

Given their personality types, that actually wouldn't surprise me at all.

I could easily see Condi playing "ringmaster", and
making Pickles "jump through hoops" for the little
Dictatortot's twisted amusement.

Sounds like EXACTLY the type of thing they'd do, IMHO.

(But throwing Darth into that mix really is just "ewwwww"!)

I so hope that sanctimonious shithead made the list...

Don't torture THE PEOPLE!!!

We have a ...er...ummm...right to know who the hypocrites are!!

Pleaeezze?? :rofl:

I hate popcorn! ;)

That would be fun.

:)

Edwars or Obama, or even Byrd, will we be so quick to chortle with glee........

:eyes:

I hate this kind of gotcha crap, what people do in privacy is none of anyones business.......

Like when Al Gore's son got arrested while doing 100 in a Prius, everyone's reaction was "he got a Prius to go 100? Good for him!"

Old doesn't mean dead.

He was in his 70s at the time. Conyers had a couple of kids in his 60s-we were all joking that the water in Detroit must have some quality that is beneficial to men's reproductive systems.

I guess I missed that holier-than-thou bullshit in their campaigns.

:)

as a lesbian for what I do in MY bedroom...

I'm sick and fucking tired of holy rolling assholes (GOPers AND holier than thou Conservative DEMS) telling me who gets to do what with MY "miss kitty".

In case you missed it, THAT'S the point of all this. It's the hypocrisy. Don't tell me my relationship is less than yours when you're paying behind your spouse's back to get your knob waxed. Family Values my ass.

However, they feel need to be voyeurs into consenting adults bedrooms...maybe finally they will get the point that this isn't always a good idea.

if the Republicans that run campaigns of moral purity agreed that what I do in privacy is none of their business. But since they don't and they insist on inserting themselves into the private lives of others, then their private lives are fair game as well.

It could be Edwards or Obama or Byrd, but none of them hold themselves out as "holier-than-thou" types (and try to legislate as such) like Vitter does, now do they?

I could care less who is boinking whom or who is paying for sex, what bothers me is the hypocrisy. That's the point.

If these weren't holier than thou little
Jesus thugs trying to tell gay people who to marry and the rest of us how to live our private
lives, NO ONE WOULD CARE! It's the hypocrisy that sticks -- that's what the problem is, not
the fact they went to a prostitute.

:shrug:

I agree it's none of our business. But, it might be prudent to expose those who wish to engage in dictating what OTHERS do in their private time? If someone rails against that which they partake in, and runs a campaign on these very issues, they should be exposed to the people who vote for them based upon their so called "morality." It's about making an educated choice as a voter.

You and I don't care to have politicans dicate our morality but conservatives do, and as such they deserve the info they need to vote for those who they can fully support. ;)

I was conflicted until I worked this out thinking outloud. I may regret this but "Go Larry!"

We should NEVER strike back and show their TOTAL FUCKING HYPOCRISY even when they ruin actual lives EVERY FUCKING DAY with their Right Wing GARBAGE and their Right Wing Laws...people even die because of them and then they turn around and do what they condemn. These people don't even allow me to have a full life, marry the woman I've been with for 15 years, be on her insurance so I can have health coverage, let us inherit, make decisions for each other if one of us becomes unable...THEY KILL US...and then they want us to keep their nasty little secrets. :rofl: Not going to happen.
Lee

I totally agree

If his list includes the people who want to legislate the private lives of others, and deny rights to people who don't live in a way others approve of, then color me catty, I'm all for it.
meow.
Peace.

:spank:

When it is THEIR business (so they think) to try to legislate morality.

A Dem who never tried to legislate morality or ran on "family values" won't be as affected. Hell, Dem voters won't even care that much. But the GOP? Well they are more moral than thou and should be exposed as hypocrites.

I'd say that in a vacuum, most here at DU would agree with you. I personally don't care who puts what where and under what conditions, but if you run a campaign on being moral and legislating morality, then you are fair game.

It's one of the reasons I believe Bush-submissive Dem senators and congress-folk could also use an outing.

But pick-off the Repubelickins first.

Maybe you like the fact that the religious extremists are in charge?

But that's about it, off the top of my head. Some others would disappoint, still others would make me laugh hysterically. But I think only Grassley would actually shock me.

That's one ugly mug there.

First he's just such a priss to begin with. Then you think Utah conservative. Then you imagine his face all puckered the way he does when he's perterbed. Then you think about the Mormon jokes in the works. Then you picture him having to walk through the Senate, with all those smirks and grins, everybody knowing what a stick-up-the-ass he's always been.

Oh I laugh and laugh just thinking about Orin Hatch. It would be delicious.

Grassley, otoh, just

:wow:

Hatch with a male escort, like Jeff Gannon?

But I have to say that I look forward to a slew of righteous hypocrites being exposed....particularly the "family values" people or those that oppose gay marriage and then are engaged in homosexual relationships themselves....

Should be interesting - Pass the Popcorn!

Air Force Amy meets who ?

Let's face it WHAT could possibly shock Larry Flynt?!?

Maybe it's LIEerman, shocking that even a whore would allow themselves to go THERE! ewwww! :beer:

She was a right wing Super Gun Nut type.

Not because it's a scandal, but because it reveals who the Clinton impeachers really are. Or I hope so.

He said, "We got good leads. We got over 300 initially, and they're down to about 30 now, which is solid."

Yeah! Go Larry!

That still pisses me off. Faux...CNN...ABC...all different arms of the same propaganda.

make the turnaround towards a Democratic Republic again.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12634250/

"It's all part of a growing ongoing investigation into corruption in defense and intelligence contracts, which already has sent former Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham to prison and, legal sources say, may threaten others in Congress and the CIA."

That was back in May of 2006. What have they been investigating since then ? Or should I say, covering up ?

Palfrey said there were more escort services in D.C. than McDonald's. Here's an excerpt from an article that I think you will find very interesting:

They got their asses handed to them by a One-handed magazine.

for CorpoPravda to go after. Nothing to see here, folks, move along.

I seriously wonder. It could be that Flynt offered the reward and ABC didn't, so he has more actual proof.

:rofl:

:rofl: That would be just in time for the 2008 elections...just what we need here in NC!

I didn't count how many weeks it is until then, but I figure 60 weeks should be close enough! Can you just imagine the effect on the Pubs!!!!!!

:scared:
Well ~ to see little Joey's name would be thrilling!

and will out only those pillars of community and church who have been hostile to reproductive rights, howling for abstinence among youth, screeching about an end to marital infidelity, and were out to get Clinton out of office for unreciprocated oral sex from an overheated groupie.

then the likelihood of any being Dem is quite remote!

:D

--there will be a hell of a lot more of THEIRS.

I don't know, but if 30 individuals in our government are outed and are forced to resign, with perhaps even more to come (as the DC Madame's lawyer said not all the phone records have yet been turned over to Flynt), we could perhaps be facing extraordinary times. If just one resigns, will it set off a chain reaction where all must resign? The attitude of the people is already pretty fed up with Washington right now.

And while the spotlight is focused on just one of the many escort services in DC and their clients, what about that supposed prostitution ring involving government officials and Jack Abramoff? What happened to that and will the media finally come around to investigating it, especially if the DC Madame story gets bigger and bigger?

Could some of those leads point to the same person? Or does it mean 30 wonderful and glorious suspects?

leads. I assume that means 30 individuals. And supposedly there are more to come because Flynt hasn't received all of the phone records yet.

not from Palfrey. Those numbers haven't yet been scratched.

zalinda

The best way to stop this fascist movement in its tracks is to out the hypocrites running it. And fascists are ALWAYS hypocrites.

he is the one who stuck in the patriot act in secret almost about the US attorney stuff..so this admin could fuck the judiciary..and the Madam brought up the fact that this could and might be being used for blackmail!!

who has done more flip flopping?? Arlen hates the NSA tapping of our phones but the doesn't do jack shit about it..
but more telling is Arlen sticking the law in the scret of the night about the attroeny general stuff into the patriot act 2....why did he do it??


my vote is on Arlen..second vote..Orin!!

fly

loyalist, stuck it in without Specter beoing told a thing. don't know if anyone else recalls this story?

:rofl:

could it be........the gang of 30?

okay- I'm tired, it's about all I could do.

but I AM enjoying the karma.

Iraq Filibuster in the house, Senator Bobbit in nappies, & Larry Flynt about to take the lid off of it all.....

Hope he's not all hot air.

:)
