Is Larry Flynt the slimiest human alive? His Hustler magazine was so sleazy
that every month I felt so dirty
after perusing it that I'd vow "never again." Eventually I
did
stop. Anyway, there's some deja-vu going going on with this
2017
encore of his 1998 campaign to save Bill Clinton from impeachment
(failed).
Flynt's
role began in October when he bought a full-page ad in The Washington
Post, announcing a reward of up to $1 million for anyone who could
prove having had "an adulterous sexual encounter with a current member
of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official."
More than 2,000 calls came in. [Wa Post]
Why would Flynt come out of
nowhere on this?
Simple. He was underwritten by Hillary Clinton.
Rodham had installed in the
White House basement her own computer data base where she stored,
among other things, improperly
accessed 1993 and 1994 FBI security-clearance
documents [See Filegate] of Republican lawmakers. It was from this list that she supplied Flynt with
names he would
use to blackmail troublesome Republican lawmakers considering
impeachment. We'll never know which "victims" were then convinced, and voted against some, or all, impeachment charges; but we know who refused to buckle.
While
the
new GOP leader, Speaker-designate Bob Livingston (La.),
Livingston did not identify to the full GOP caucus who was
investigating his past, sources said he told colleagues at the earlier
leadership meeting, "I've been Larry Flynt-ed."
