Larry Flynt may be the greatest political activist of our time.
In addition to battling for First Amendment rights and offering money to folks for providing details on political sex scandals, he is now asking Congress for a $5 billion bailout of the porn industry. Not because business is hurting, but because people are downtrodden, depressed, and need more porn in this time of global crisis.
Oh. He also sends free copies of Hustler to every member of Congress. Something I discovered, with some embarrassment, on my first day as a Capital Hill intern.
