Hustler offers R7m for sex smut
03/06/2007 21:13 - (SA)
Washington - Hustler magazine is looking for some scandalous sex in Washington again - and is willing to pay for it.
"Have you had a sexual encounter with a member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?" reads a full-page advertisement taken out by Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine in Sunday's Washington Post.
It offered $1 million (about R7m) for documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder.
A toll-free number and e-mail address were provided.
The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive to impeach President Bill Clinton in connection with the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
In the following months, the pornographic publishing mogul threatened to expose one or two members of the Republican Congress who were pushing for the impeachment, according to media reports at the time.
That long-awaited revelation, published months after Clinton's trial, dropped no bombshells, according to a 1999 Slate.com article, but Flynt's efforts played a role in the resignation of House-speaker designate Bob Livingston of Louisiana.
Flynt's target this time, if he has one, was not
immediately obvious.
