Flynt: Tricky Dick Nixon 'couldn't get it up' with hooker during bombing of Hanoi
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.
"As you are no doubt well aware, America is enduring yet another election cycle, and Flynt, as he has done sporadically over the last three decades, is working hard to insert himself into the middle of it," Bruce Handy writes for the magazine's website. "What that mostly entails—aside from making calculatedly outrageous statements to Larry King, Geraldo Rivera, and other talk-show hosts—is offering cash bounties to women and men who are willing to dish verifiable dirt on the sort of politician who campaigns on family-values platforms by day and strays from his or her spouse by night. (Or evening, afternoon, or morning.)"
Flynt dishes on politicians, live and deceased, and some are even named.
First off, the publisher of Hustler doesn't think top Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani is electable.
"As mayor of New York, would you live in an apartment with three gay guys?," Flynt asks. A press release sent by the magazine to RAW STORY notes, "Following his separation from Donna Hanover, Giuliani moved in with friends, a gay male couple."
"I don't hate gays," Flynt adds. "But I don't want to live in an apartment full of them. They'll bitch and cry and all. That doesn't bother Giuliani. It doesn't bother Giuliani to put a dress on to do Saturday Night Live. I don't trust him. I don't think he's electable."
In a post on the interview, the website Queerty snipes, "Giuliani’s not electable because he is, quite frankly, not believable - a lot like Flynt’s comments."
Flynt also claims he now has evidence about a closeted gay Republican senator who is not Larry Craig. "The other shoe's going to drop any day," Flynt says. "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."
"Over the summer, when he began talking to me for this article, he dropped three A-list names—a Republican presidential candidate, a well-known Republican senator, and another prominent conservative official—whose peccadilloes he claimed Hustler was on the verge of exposing, hinting at hooker parties and no-tell-motel liaisons," Handy notes. "When we sit down in the fall, these names are off the table, though investigations are said to be ongoing."
The magazine's Deputy Editor Handy adds, "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.'"
Then Flynt relates a second-hand tale he supposedly heard about former President Richard Nixon.
"Certainly Flynt has a lot of sleaze at his fingertips," Handy writes. "He tells a great story about Richard Nixon’s brother Donald sneaking the then president out of the White House in the backseat of a beat-up old Chevy to visit hookers—a story he claims was told to him by someone who had been an adviser to the Nixon White House."
Flynt mocks Nixon, "And he couldn’t get it up. And that was the same time he was telling Kissinger to bomb Hanoi. I felt there was a little irony in there: He can’t get it up for sex but he can get it up for war."
But, in a postscript, Handy adds that two journalists are skeptical about the alleged impotence of a former POTUS.
