Larry Flynt needs to be happy that he was fortuitous defendant of a frivilous lawsuit by Jerry Falwell that landed Larry an unearned place in the history of defending the First Amendment.

He needs to give up this notion that he is somehow now qualified to make meaningful political commentary.

*falls over laughing* Seriously? *wipes tears from eyes*

Yeahhhhh.... I read that in a CNN blog thingy. (It's not noon yet here.. I haven't woke up enough to do more than barely function.)

The only kinda bail-out Flynt's likely to ever see is the one to get him outta jail. Besides, why pay for porn with tax-payer money, when you can type duck in Google and find porn for free?

It does highlight the stupidity of throwing more than a trillion dollars into failed companies. If those companies deserve it, why not the porn industry or the neighborhood mom and pop grocery store.

it's no more silly than paulson going to congress asking for money to bail out these companies because they say they are too big to fail..then not put the money twards those companies that were too big to fail..saying he changed his mind more or less.

And if we spend more time on sex there is less time to annoy each other in general- Good plan! Kinda of like why pot should not only be legal but downright mandatory in some cases.

Ceka, you and me- let's run for office!

Why not? Nationalization is the new black. But we are a couple of Presidents too late, Willie would have been the man for that.

Of course they deserve a bailout. Without the adult entertainment industry, thousands of American jobs would be lost as manufacturers of batteries, lubricants, leather, latex, rubber, and kleenex cut production.

And don't forget, thanks to the adult entertainment industry, the average citizen can do what the people in Washington do all day long.

Not to mention the makers of obsolete VHS video tape cartridges.

He's no less qualified than a lot of the other idiots and so called experts fighting for camera time.
